VICTORIA - HIGH END OFFICE
Revisting Catherine Place over 10 years on, the client brief was to revitalise and bring the whole space up to date!
When a valued client is looking to refresh their space, we take it as an opportunity to redefine excellence. The challenge? Examining our own work critically. For the newest iteration of Catherine place we sought to preserve the core staircase. A Key feature in the last refurb, while introducing fresh elements. We used some striking stone elements and timber flooring to bring the interiors up to date. As well as having some fun with luxury surfaces such as leather flooring! As always we sought to bring even more light into the building with some ambitious engineering.
We brought the Mansard roof even higher up to allow for tall windows in all of the upper offices. Also working with a planning consultant to ensure that we were able to develop a more extensive rooftop garden. This also led to redeveloping the skylight. Our team worked closely with a glazer to develop the largest piece that we could have that wouldn’t risk smashing. This was incredibly fine work, with every mm being managed to ensure a perfect fit.
As the project unfolded, our attention turned to versatile functionality. Every angle, every corner was considered. The interplay of light and space emerged as a pivotal design element, radiating a sense of well-being and helping zone different areas for different uses. Acoustic panels enveloped the entrance, elegantly taming sound. While in the basement we reworked the previous gym space to incorporate a full sauna. Eventually creating a custom front door to welcome guests and clients into the office space.
Throughout this transformative process, we remained in synergy with our client's vision. Our 14-year journey with this client has been a testament to the harmonious collaboration that defines Annette Peters Design. The result? A space that not only meets expectations but redefines them.
