A dramatic building requires striking spaces and Tekne were able to literally ‘rise to the challenge’ to provide functional and comfortable ergonomic social meeting spaces. The finely crafted carpentry pillars, partitions and bespoke decorative ceiling art captured the essence of the building’s unique and iconic form.
The Office Group opened the flexible workspace on levels 24 and 25 of The Shard on 3rd August 2015. The 33,600 sq ft space provides a mix of individual offices, as well as drop-in working areas, lounges and meeting/conference facilities, available to any business.
With architects Archer Humphryes (responsible for The Standard Hotel in New York), Tekne provided bespoke joinery that not only highlights the extraordinary views, but also adds to the warm palette of materials and colour for a truly intimate and wholly unique environment. The logistics of organising a fit-out of this scale on the 24th and 25th floors of one of London's most iconic landmarks made this project an interesting and satisfying challenge.
"Choosing Tekne to undertake our latest office space was an easy decision to make. They had a long standing relationship with David and the team from Archer Humphryes as well as a portfolio of works; varying in size and budget which really demonstrated to us that they would be able to confidently approach our project and work with a number of different contractors; to bring our creative vision to fruition. Which they did, with great care and skill." - The Office Group
