A major remodelling programme, creating two new generous front of house areas off the street

Design Engine were invited by Buro Happold to revisit their two Newman Street offices twelve years after our original refurbishment. Since that time, we have carried our interiors projects for their Leeds and Bath offices, as well as another temporary office space in central London.

Working with main contractor Overbury, this project involved a major remodeling programme, phased carefully to ensure continued operations for the world renowned multi-discipinary engineering firm.

The scheme involves two new generous front-of-house areas off the street, which combine reception area with ‘touch-down’ meeting areas, cafe and Buro Happold’s established exhibition venues. New meeting spaces lost by the opening-up of the ground floors have been relocated, and lower ground floor staff restaurants in each building have been enlarged and improved.

Design Engine were responsible for interior design, contract administration, fixed and loose furniture design and specification. The project was completed within eighteen months from initial briefing to completion.
