A collaborative journey to craft a bespoke workspace at 22 Bishopsgate

22 Bishopsgate hosts UniCredit's new connected office space. We partnered with their architect to translate the design concept into a functional, high quality environment that frames the stunning view of London from the 49th floor.

UniCredit set out to create a workspace that embodied their values of connectivity and innovation. They pictured a streamlined, unified environment that would bring their people together on a single floor to support a culture of open communication and collaboration. With a bold concept in place, rich with bespoke joinery and detailing, UniCredit required an inspiring and cohesive space that reflected their dynamic spirit. With a tight timeline of just eight weeks to begin the fit out and a further 13 weeks on site, UniCredit sought a partner who could bring this vision to life with precision and flexibility.

Sky high collaboration

To meet UniCredit’s brief, we worked closely with the architect to turn their ideas into a practical, functional space. The design features a striking reception area with a curved sofa, statement lighting and a small teapoint. The prominent UniCredit logo adds a professional touch. A standout element is the curved joinery, which gives the space a unique charm and warmly welcomes visitors and staff into a sophisticated yet accessible environment.

The main workspace includes an open plan area with sit stand desks and various collaboration zones, complete with movable curtain partitions to create flexible breakout spaces. Meeting rooms and private booths provide spaces for focused work, while the boardroom and research area with acoustic glazing ensure high levels of privacy when needed.

Positioned on the 49th floor, the workspace also offers stunning views of London, especially from the kitchen and breakout area, adding an inspiring touch to daily interactions. We coordinated all AV integrations, ensuring that security, access control and Teams meeting equipment were installed pain free.

Collaborative care

As part of the UniCredit project, we joined forces with their team to volunteer at Haven House, a charity supporting children with complex, life-limiting illnesses. As a collective, we contributed 36 hours of volunteer work, assisting with gardening, furniture removal and painting, to help create a welcoming and enjoyable space for the children and their families. Additionally, our team raised money to fund specialist play sessions, which UniCredit matched, doubling the impact and providing 20 sessions for the children at Haven House.

An office to excite and inspire

UniCredit were delighted with the finished fit out which has redefined the atmosphere of their office. The flexible layout promotes collaboration, while the privacy and acoustics of the research area have proven invaluable for focused tasks. The attention to detail, including the bespoke joinery and the focus on the panoramic London views, has added a sense of pride and enjoyment for all who work in and visit the space. The project has not only met UniCredit’s immediate operational needs but has delivered a more cohesive, communicative workplace that aligns with their long term goals.
