​Designing the modern boardroom

The way we meet has continued to evolve over time, with the pandemic accelerating the adoption of new ways of working. With many staff now spending a proportion of their time working remotely, meeting spaces now need to adapt in order to make onsite and remote locations work seamlessly in tandem.

The same is true for the largest meeting space in the office – the boardroom – and the work we are doing for Evergreen Marine (UK) Ltd as part of a £2.5 million refurbishment of the ground and first floor of their Euston Road head office is a good example.

As part of this project, we are refurbishing a 90s-style boardroom to the requirements of the 2020s. Out will go the outdated walnut panelling, strip lighting and old AV equipment, to be replaced by a fresh modern design, a wall-to-wall ceiling of light, and state-of-the-art presentation and video conferencing technology.

By doing so, our aim is to create a modern hybrid meeting space for both face-to-face meetings onsite and with participants located remotely anywhere in the world.
