This comprehensive workspace refurbishment in Kensington Village brings together a series of simple and elegant alterations that have brought this forgotten 80’s building back to life.⁠

The Brief

We have worked in partnership with Buckley Gray Yeoman (BGY) across a variety of projects. The initial brief for Pembroke House centred around the specification of good quality products sensibly chosen for the high use of the building.
The reception has been finished to a high specification and aesthetic design focused on light wood wall panels, black doors and brass features in both the ironmongery, lighting and reception desk.
With this is mind all front of house ironmongery was finished in satin brass and back of house in flat matt black.

Aesthetic

Visually, the square corners and proportions of the 250 pull handle work perfectly alongside the linear satin brass detailing, reception desk and light wood wall panels within the reception area.

Finish

Using a split finish works well visually and practically for this project. Mirroring the satin brass design features in the reception area while using a more muted flat matt black finish on the grey back of house doors.
