Client Requirements and Design Development:

Grant Thornton, a global professional services firm, required a workspace that was spacious, simple, and elegant , reflecting their professional yet approachable brand identity. The design was focused on creating an open, fluid environment that blended industrial and modern elements, with simplicity at its core. To break away from monotony, curves were introduced strategically throughout the office space to add movement and fluidity.

A key aspect of the design was to subtly integrate Grant Thornton’s branding through specific elements. Hanging acoustic panels over the workstation areas highlighted the firm’s brand colors, adding a subtle yet effective touch of identity without overwhelming the space. The firm’s commitment to functionality was further reflected in the selection of Steelcase chairs for the office—known for their ergonomic design and comfort, enhancing the overall workspace experience.

In alignment with the vision of a spacious and collaborative workspace, Monarch modular systems were incorporated into the layout, offering flexible seating and configurations to accommodate dynamic work habits. The overall design emphasized vibrant pop-up colors that infused energy into the space, complemented by green accents to create an inviting and calming atmosphere.

Execution and Handover:

The execution phase involved careful consideration of Grant Thornton’s need for a balance between elegance and functionality. The use of curves and acoustic panels added a sense of fluidity and movement, while maintaining a professional and simple look. Subtly integrating the brand’s colors through these panels ensured the office had a distinct identity, while keeping the overall design understated and refined.

The inclusion of Steelcase chairs contributed to employee comfort and productivity, adhering to the firm’s high standards for a functional workspace. The Monarch modular system further enhanced the office’s flexibility, allowing for various configurations to suit different working styles and team sizes.

During the handover, the design successfully met Grant Thornton’s vision of a spacious, branded, and elegant workspace. The acoustic panels, vibrant colors, and ergonomic furniture all contributed to an environment that fostered collaboration while promoting the firm’s professional image. The final result was a highly functional, aesthetically pleasing office that reflected Grant Thornton’s brand and values.
