PROJECT OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES 

As ATPI prepared to relocate their global head office from Hong Kong to London, they enlisted the expertise of the Cityspace team to assist in selecting and designing their new office space. The project’s main objectives were to ensure adequate privacy for senior team members, design a minimalist and contemporary space that maximises natural light, and integrate audio-visual technology compatible with all ATPI offices worldwide.

CHALLENGES AND EXPECTATIONS

The new head office needed to accommodate senior directors travelling globally, requiring the design to facilitate both informal meetings and private spaces for senior management staff. Achieving the right balance between open-plan areas and private meeting rooms was crucial to maintain functionality without compromising aesthetics.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To address ATPI’s needs, we crafted a space that exudes sophistication and functionality. We designed and fitted a soft seating breakout area for informal meetings, promoting collaboration and relaxation. Adjacent to a minimal kitchen area, the high-tech boardroom was equipped with state-of-the-art audio and visual technology, ensuring seamless connectivity with all ATPI offices globally.

Private spaces for senior management were created using transparent double glazing for separation walls, providing privacy while allowing natural light to flow freely throughout the office. To create a warm and inviting atmosphere, we incorporated organic and warm autumnal colours, complemented by white graze and wooden finishes. The task chairs were designed in a residential green colour, ensuring practicality and ergonomics. Every piece of furniture was meticulously chosen to align with its intended purpose and use, enhancing functionality and comfort.

PROJECT OUTCOMES

The transformation of ATPI’s global head office resulted in a sophisticated and welcoming environment, successfully blending open-plan spaces with private meeting rooms. The use of transparent double glazing ensured privacy for senior team members without obstructing natural light. Additionally, the implementation of a compatible audio and video conference call system facilitated seamless communication across all ATPI offices.

The team at ATPI expressed their delight with the new head office, appreciating the thoughtful design and practical solutions implemented. The project not only met but exceeded ATPI’s expectations, reinforcing our commitment to delivering timely and budget-conscious solutions that enhance our clients’ operational efficiency and overall satisfaction.

The successful transformation of ATPI’s global head office in London stands as a testament to our experience and collaborative approach in tackling complex design and logistical challenges. By understanding our client’s unique needs and delivering tailored solutions, we continue to build a track record of reliability and excellence in the industry.
