Movember Foundation gets new London HQ office fitout
Global mens health charity Movember Foundation has called on CCWS Interiors to fit out the London HQ for the second time.
The HQ, in the creative district of Farringdon, is set among art galleries and a thriving entertaining precinct with bars and restaurants.
The 555 sqm space is the hub for the Movember workforce to collaborate, initiate and implement its objective to bring men's health to the forefront of public conversation.
CCWS Interiors' David Keane and Amy Elliott headed up the project.
They were tasked with transforming the open-plan office into an inspirational environment that reflected the ethos and brand identity of the organisation.
The brief was to upgrade the office design and create an environment that better matched the people, brand and culture behind Movember.
Providing a base for both local and visiting international teams, the newly-configured office needed to easily ‘expand-and-contract’ as required during busy campaign periods.
Over a six-week period, CCWS delivered flexible workspaces, hot desks and hot-booth-meeting areas to encourage collaboration and introduce both formal and flexible productivity areas.
The traditional concept of ‘one desk, one employee’ was thrown out in favour of this interactive co-working model, whilst also catering to introspective work styles with semi-enclosed booths.
When looking to the interior aesthetics, the refit was characterised by industrial design elements, seen in the use of rustic wood cladding and exposed metal fixtures, alongside playful detailing throughout and the company’s signature ‘moustache’ symbol displayed with pride.
When adding the final touches to the Movember office design, David and Amy collaborated with the Movember team to introduce some famous moustache owners to the office décor; fancy a catch up in the Chaplin, Mercury or Einstein room?
