Both research centres wanted a space designing to support a variety of different work settings; to support both collaborative and autonomous working. The schemes also needed to look modern and professional to reflect the centre’s values. We delivered space plan and design schemes that included restoring a parquet flooring within a boardroom area, specialist lab and testing areas and branding.

The Student Engagement Centre team required the new office space to be designed to support collaborative working, and bring the team together into one space. The centre had previously been housed in interim accommodation which resulted in the team being fragmented. The new location was highly cellular, partitions were removed to form an open plan office area. A flexible training room was also provided to support the centre.

Works were also carried out in the main corridor that included new wall and floor covering to bring the space back up to date as it was looking very tired.

Cash Processing Solutions (CPS) is the industry’s only independent global provider of customer focused, end-to-end, data-driven cash management solutions. They appointed Ashlar ID to help create a new UK Headquarters in Matrix House , Basingstoke. Working closely with the CPS team we came up with a scheme that we are really proud of.

Ashlar ID were appointed by BHP Project Management to help deliver the refurbishment and relocation of Cognito’s 140 staff and services to new office space at Rivergate House in Newbury’s premier business park.

Unoccupied, dark and dated 1980s’ cellular offices were transformed to a modern, fresh and open plan office environment, maximising the new office’s access to natural light.

We formed a distinctive new reception area, conference rooms, meeting rooms, staff kitchen, tea point, break-out areas, print and copy areas to provide Cognito with an modern and dynamic workspace reflective of their brand.
