The Fund owners of this iconic building were looking to deliver a 21st century experience capable of attracting the biggest and best corporate clients. Because a multinational, much like an army, marches on its stomach, Air was given the brief to design a new corporate cafeteria – which would form the social lynchpin of a building where to nip out for a sandwich at lunch would otherwise involve a 20 minute walk.
A fully functional, hot-catered cafeteria, replete with contemporary materials, new furniture and bespoke lighting all contribute to an environment where staff can enjoy a comfortable and wholesome lunch. The cafeteria also functions as an informal meeting area or ‘breakout’ space.
The cafeteria has been instrumental in helping to let a further 17,000 sq ft of office space in 2007, generating fantastic feedback from the client as well as existing tenants – who are thrilled with the new facilities.
