01 · The brief
A fixed move date. A plan worth testing.
Suntera appointed POS after initial test fits had been developed. Our first task was to challenge and refine that direction, then take responsibility for detailed design, procurement and delivery within a six-month window.
Stakeholder discussions, Quickplan test fits and 3D walkthroughs helped the team compare options before committing. The agreed layout accommodated around 140 people, with capacity to increase to 170 workstations as the business grew.
Validate the plan
Test adjacencies, circulation and capacity before developing the technical design.
Make room for different tasks
Balance open-plan desks with quiet rooms, meeting spaces and places to gather.
Protect the occupation date
Coordinate approvals, procurement and a 16-week construction programme around the year-end move.
02 · The spaces
The main floor, with choices beyond the desk.
Sit-stand workstations form the main working area. Quiet rooms give calls and confidential conversations a separate setting, while meeting rooms and informal seating provide alternatives for group work.
Two tea points sit at opposite ends of the floor. Lockers, storage and clear circulation routes support a large team without making every activity depend on the central work area.
In everyday use
Meeting rooms designed as complete spaces.
Double-glazed partitions, acoustic treatments, room-booking interfaces and coordinated AV were developed together. Glass writing boards and varied room sizes support both short discussions and longer working sessions.
A closer look
Focus or a change of setting.
The first floor offers enclosed rooms alongside an open collaboration area at the curved façade.
03 · Delivery
Six months from appointment to occupation.
POS acted as principal designer and main contractor, coordinating the project team, specialist trades and site logistics. Construction began in August, with a 16-week fit-out window.
The technical package brought together partitions, lighting, power, data and acoustics, alongside landlord requirements and statutory approvals. Existing CAT A infrastructure was retained and adapted where possible, with changes to zoning and controls to suit the new layout.
The first floor was completed in time for occupation before year end, bringing the two offices into one workplace with room for growth.
