We were pleased to have the opportunity to deliver the new office for a research institute in Cambridge.
The project was initially designed and project managed by The Workplace Consultants, within the timeline and budget, and we were selected following a competitive pitch process
Our approach was guided by careful preparation and a strong understanding of the client’s needs. Early engagement with building control helped us anticipate and address any potential program and design challenges before they could affect the schedule.
A detailed pre-tender building survey and walk around allowed us to identify potential issues early and suggest thoughtful solutions in our pitch submission. Creating high-quality 3D visuals helped to communicate the design vision clearly, giving the client confidence in the proposed final outcome for their office.
The fit-out programme was particularly tight due to the expiry of the client’s existing lease.
Careful planning and clear communication ensured that all aspects of the project – from finishes and acoustics to mechanical and fire protection – were coordinated effectively to keep things on track.
Value engineering played an important role in ensuring the design vision was realised within budget. For instance, hardwood-framed partitions were replaced with bronze powder coated metal glazing featuring an organic rice paper manifestation detail – achieving the desired look while staying cost-effective.
We worked closely with the creative designer and the client to make sure that every detail – from lighting and acoustics to feature walls and tea point specifications – aligned with their needs and expectations. This close collaboration ensured a cohesive and practical outcome.

Cambridge has a thriving design and build industry, and this project reflects the benefits of a collaborative approach. By working closely with the client and their designer, we were able to deliver a workspace that supports the institute’s important research work.
The result is a carefully considered research workspace that combines thoughtful design, functionality, and sustainable solutions – reflecting the client’s values and vision.
