The project re-used and remanufactured inherited fitout to create a fully refurbished and furnished space.
The project covers 4,400m2 workspace for 1080 people arranged on 9 floors with views over Regents Park and a ground floor reception, the project pioneers a new approach to office fit out that offers fully-fitted high-quality workspace based on circular-economy principles to reduce carbon and energy impact, reduce cost and enhance financial value.
Nex’s ‘Circular Fitted’ design approach refashioned existing materials, fittings and furniture left behind by an outgoing tenant to create an entirely new interior space that reused 70% of the embodied carbon and dramatically reduced waste that went to landfill.
