Traditions Redefined - Ambit's Design for Patron Capital’s Workspace

We recently embarked on an exciting journey to transform Patron Capital’s new workspace at 33 Glasshouse Street, a stone’s throw away from the iconic Piccadilly Circus. Our team beautifully redefined the 7018 sq ft space, creating a workspace that places employee wellbeing at its core.

Sustainability was a key consideration throughout the project.  We utilised our expertise to implement sustainable solutions in reusing the glazing, doors, and existing floor plans to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact.  To create a more sustainable workspace, we incorporated eco-friendly materials, including FilaSorb™ acoustic panels from Acoufelt acoustic panels from 60% recycled PET.

Technical precision played a crucial role in overcoming various challenges posed by the project's unique requirements. For instance, installing a climbing wall in the gym and relocating the heating system beneath the floor demanded meticulous coordination and expertise. While relocating the heating system to an under-flooring air conditioning (AET) throughout the workspace, we removed the structural heating system and the raised access floor underneath the climbing wall to accommodate a sunken drop mat and installed a fire mat. Our Head of Technical Services worked closely with heating system specialists to ensure seamless integration while staying updated on the landlord's works to update the building's infrastructure.

Patron Capital, known for its traditional approach, envisioned a workspace that reflected its brand values and catered to the well-being and productivity of its employees. The project aimed to create a cohesive brand identity, fostering collaboration and flexibility through an open teapoint area, desk spaces, and breakout zones.

We prioritised Patron Capital’s client experience by including hidden storage solutions to minimise visual clutter. In addition to this we designed clear zones to separate client areas from workstations, with client facing areas featuring a manifestation wall showcasing awards and charitable work near the entrance.  

Despite the intricacies involved in the project, we ensured that every aspect was executed with precision and efficiency. From coordinating specialised systems to optimising the flow of the space, our team worked tirelessly to deliver a workspace that exceeds Patron Capital's expectations while setting new standards in office design and sustainability.
