Across three floors, the fit-out elevated the studio environment to a premium standard. Acoustic upgrades, targeted core modifications, and a suite of feature joinery pieces brought refinement, warmth, and identity to the workspace.

Minimalist office corner with large windows, concrete ceiling, and integrated shelving. Linear pendant lighting and neutral flooring dominate the space. Refurbishment could add collaborative zones and soft furnishings for comfort.

After 15 years at Bowling Green Lane, we supported our long-standing client, WilkinsonEyre Architects, in relocating their London Studio to a new home at 28 Leonard Street. The project centred around an intricate, high-end CAT B fit-out delivered under an accelerated programme to ensure the studio was fully operational ahead of their lease expiry.

Set in a prime city location, the scheme demanded exceptional planning and execution. Every detail, from early design coordination through to the final handover, was managed with care to ensure a seamless transition and uninterrupted business continuity. Working within a Higher Risk Building added a further layer of complexity, with strict fire protection standards, enhanced inspection requirements, and comprehensive documentation essential for timely Building Control sign-off. Fire-stopping works, compartmentation upgrades, and reconfigurations to the primary core required precise sequencing and continuous liaison with the fire engineer to maintain compliance within the compressed programme.

The technical intricacies extended into the lighting and controls strategy, which combined bespoke architectural fixtures with advanced scene-setting for working, model-making, and event environments. Integrating these systems alongside electrical and AV installations required careful coordination, phased commissioning, and rigorous testing to achieve the intended performance and user experience.

Across three floors, the fit-out elevated the studio environment to a premium standard. Acoustic upgrades, targeted core modifications, and a suite of feature joinery pieces brought refinement, warmth, and identity to the workspace. The project also delivered an upgraded model room, a striking events and presentation space, and a bespoke ground-floor entrance lobby with floor-to-ceiling display windows that embody our client’s design ethos.
