Monmouthshire Building Society Cardiff Queen Street
The client wanted a warm and natural theme that reflected their brand identity and created a homely feel. They also wanted to introduce sustainable materials and planting throughout the spaces to boost productivity.
The building was an old and empty shell that required a lot of work to transform into a modern and functional office space. The client also wanted to reflect their brand identity without being too imposing or overwhelming.
The D&G team worked closely with the client, contractors, and suppliers to overcome the challenges of working on an old building. We added a raised access floor to the first floor to give the society the flexibility needed in a modern office. Also added were toilet blocks and kitchens on each floor to make the space more functional.
To reflect the client's brand identity, the designers suggested using a warm and natural theme that featured timber, earthy tones, and tonal oranges. We used sustainable materials and textures to soften the industrial feel of the exposed walls and ceiling. They also used patterns, fabrics, and colors to energize spaces and subtly alter the mood of specific
areas. To create a homely feel, we introduced planting throughout the spaces. This appealed to our innate desire to connect with nature and boosted productivity. The end result was a unique office space that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and reflected the client's brand identity in a subtle and understated way.
