COCA-COLA MOVES TO NEW LONDON HEADQUARTERS, PUTTING THE FIZZ BACK IN THE DRINK BRAND’S DESIGN


Coca-Cola’s UK subsidiary has moved into its new London headquarters in Wimpole Street, London W1. Around 300 Coca-Cola employees will be based at the new building, which replaces the company’s office in Hammersmith, W6.


The company’s new London base is a 1920s building, which has been refitted throughout. It is set over four floors, covering 66,000 square feet and features a roof terrace, café, meeting rooms, open plan office space and hot desk facilities. The interior of the building, designed by award-winning architectural-designer MoreySmith, is a celebration of Coca-Cola’s heritage and place in popular culture. The design unites the Edwardian Baroque-style front of the building, with a more modern rear extension via a staircase, which runs through the core of the building. A custom-built, double-sided display wall has been installed over three floors and provides a spectacular backdrop to display the brand’s long heritage, including iconic original


Coca-Cola memorabilia from its archives in the US. At the heart of the building, hanging from the second floor into the reception, is a specially commissioned work by award-winning British artist/designer Stuart Haygarth. The 6.5 metre high comet shaped installation features more than 80,000 acrylic ice chunks, suspended on ultra-fine wires and illuminated by LEDs. Linda Morey Smith, Principal Director, MoreySmith commented, “We are thrilled to have designed Coca-Cola’s new office. Using the brand’s iconic history, we have created a vibrant space, which draws upon the positive energy of the organisation. The diversity of workspaces and unique social areas will hopefully inspire all who inhabit or just visit the building. I hope the Coca-Cola team will be very happy in their new environment.” Sustainability has been at the heart of the refit programme and Coca-Cola hopes the office will achieve the SKA Gold rating in recognition of the work undertaken to fit out the building sustainably.


CONCEPTUAL THINKING


JOI-Design recently launched the Hotel-Kompetenz- Zentrum (HKZ), centre for hotel design excellence, in Oberschleißheim near Munich. The imaginative team was commissioned by HKZ to transform over 1000m2 of floor space into a gallery of ideas for hotel design, a curated showroom from which professionals such as hotel developers, operators and managers can “shop” amongst diverse concepts and test a range of products. HKZ is a permanent exhibition of options for guestroom, corridor, bar, café and reception lobby décor. In addition to spaceplanning the overall flow and coordination of the centre, JOI-Design developed each space’s design from concept through to installation.
