FLETCHER PRIEST has completed the interior design and fit-out of two floors of One Hooper’s Court for an investment management client. Conceived by the practice’s interior design team, the interiors reflect the design narrative of the building lobby and of the wider Knightsbridge Estate, of which Fletcher Priest Architects completed last summer as well as the masterplan and the architectural base build.
Lucy Priest, associate at Fletcher Priest Architects, comments: ‘Our work as architects of The Knightsbridge Estate, as well as the base build and reception of One Hooper’s Court, has allowed us to create a holistic design, making the tenant’s space feel connected to the ofice building and the wider estate.’ The generous 2,500 sq m workplace combines textures and tones to create a contemporary, understated aesthetic reflecting
the discreet nature of the ofice in this premium London address. Architectural and design motifs from the wider estate and the Fletcher Priest-designed reception of One Hooper’s Court are subtly carried through to the interior fit-out, contributing to a seamless continuation. Materials and detailing, including a floral design motif inspired by gardener John Hooper of Knightsbridge who laid out Hooper’s Court in the 18th Century, are extended throughout the space.
Fletcher Priest worked closely with the occupier to create a design language to celebrate the firm’s role as a quantitative, research-led investment manager. Mathematical and geometrical patterns found in nature are used to connect the wider design language of the estate with the work of the firm. The most notable element of this is the bespoke hand-finished timber and metal
staircase. The plan shape was informed by the Fibonacci sequence – a playful nod to that found in nature, and reflective of the tenant’s own data analysis process.
The workplace is designed for new styles of working, with nooks and phone booths within the timber volume of the core, including a ‘secret meeting room’ with backlit timber joinery and a bespoke inlaid meeting room table by British heritage manufacturer William Hands. Other specially designed joinery details including stools that tuck away into the body of the banquette, designed for flexible, collaborative working. A monochrome timber frame at the centre of the ofice creates a ‘trading theatre’, celebrating the tenant’s core function. Large screens relay real-time information, and a bespoke collaboration table creates a transition from dedicated
