The brief

ACS needed more than furniture in a shell. They wanted a workplace their team and visitors would recognise as ACS the moment they walked in, and one partner to carry it from empty floor plate to handover.

  • What we did

    Space planning, interior design, bespoke joinery, lighting, flooring and brand integration, coordinated under one project lead.

  • How we ran it

    Regular site photography shared with the client, a single programme across trades, and joinery built to fit on site.

  • What they got

    A reception with a branded feature wall, learning and breakout zones, acoustic panelling, lit display niches and upholstered reading nooks.

Where we started

As wefound it.

Bare tiles, empty walls and builders’ stock on the floor. The ceiling services were in; everything the ACS team would actually use was still to come.

Before and after

Drag the line.

The reception from the same corner, as we received it and at handover. The window wall took the ACS logo; the doorway became shelving; the stair got timber louvres beneath it.
