Clockwise LOM’s


design showcases layouts based on movement, light and biophilic design; the practice developed a colour palette ranging from deep to light and natural shades, to fresh and earth tones; environments are tuned to users’ daily needs, such as with the use of playful graphics and wayfinding; the fully equipped conference centre


A fully equipped conference centre has been created, within the old ground-level dealer floor, making better use of deep plan space, while the new public entrance enabled an agile and self-contained events facility for the bank and third-party users. A crisp black gallery of meeting rooms in a stepped form have been built in the existing reception atrium, alongside a new bridge structure that spans between stairs over the reception. Natwest wanted to introduce high-quality visitor spaces, with a client meeting suite, and to that end LOM has introduced a series of spaces dressed with artwork and artefacts taken from the bank’s collections.


The practice developed a theme of ‘dawn, day and dusk’ and a colour palette ranging from deep to light and natural shades, to fresh and earth tones. Each zone, such as workplace areas, communal spaces, meeting rooms and pods, are defined by one of these themes, in addition to the ‘Green Zone’, which covers the conservatory, weather garden and garden cafe.


With the overriding objective of moving towards a more flexible and future-proof workspace, LOM’s design showcases a transformative co-working space, with fluid layouts based on movement, light and biophilic design. Across the building, flexible and


engaging interior environments are tuned to users’ daily needs, activities and comfort. This includes playful graphics, wayfinding, and glass manifestations.


John Avery, director at LOM Architecture and Design, comments: ‘At 250 Bishopsgate, our retrofit of a landmark City of London building has turned traditional corporate design on its head, and extended the life of a building that is now more flexible and sustainable. We focused on fluid layouts that facilitate collaboration and promote well-being, while providing additional space within the existing structure without compromising users’ experience and well-being.’
