BRIEFING

The brief was to create two large collaboration zones for employees to use for team meetings and informal meet-ings.

The Willis Building, was de-signed for the firm in 1975 by celebrated British architect Norman Foster, and is a land-mark in the development of the ‚high tech‘ architectural style. Because of its pioneering design it was awarded Grade 1 listed status meaning that is was necessary for Bene to up-holster the PARCS furniture in bespoke non-standard fabrics to complement the building’s original design features.
