Leading workplace consultant, Saracen Interiors has completed a design and fit out project for leading private equity firm, AGIC Capital at the listed building that is the global operation’s UK headquarters on Berkeley Square, Mayfair.
Having concentrated heavily on the detail in the early stages of the design phase, Saracen’s small works division was able to finish the main works of the project within six weeks, providing AGIC with an elegant working environment, suitable to accommodate visitors as well as the company’s staff members.
Work on this showcase project met with stringent listed building conditions and included the fitting of bespoke cabinetry, a custom-made pendant light and luxury flooring throughout; a new tea point, with solid Staron top and upstand, and Karndean flooring. Saracen also sourced and supplied all new furniture and storage for the board room and office accomodation.
This is the fit out expert’s second prestigious Mayfair project in the last six months, having completed a repair and refurbishment project for educational charity, the English Speaking Union (ESU). Director of Saracen Interiors, Michael Page comments: “We are always mindful of the location of a building; Berkeley Square is one of London’s most impressive addresses and so there is an automatic expectation that any works carried out on buildings in this area will be to the highest standard.
“We are developing a reputation for our designs and these designs have become increasingly pivotal to many of our big contract wins. It’s pleasing that Saracen Small Works is following suit and that jobs like this one are also being won on the basis of the designs submitted, and the level of collaboration and interaction undertaken, during these early stages. As good design is now recognised as vital to the changing workplace, being identified and selected on the basis of our designs is a very good position for us to be in.”
