COEL were appointed as Principal Contractor and Designer by Agile Analog for the fit out of their new office at Radio House, Chesterton. The Orchard Street owned building was finished to a CAT A standard prior to occupancy, and careful consideration around the existing M&E systems were discussed with the incumbent Building Consultant Hoare Lea.

The working areas are adeptly articulated with optional task-based workstations; these include a series of different sized meeting rooms positioned at the front of the building to accommodate video conferencing and team meetings. Open plan desking and collaborative tables for mind mapping and team activities are based towards the rear of the workspace. A soothing combination of herringbone flooring runs throughout the floor plan, alongside plush carpet helping to distinguish the different zones.

Acknowledging that privacy and quiet space are critical for focused working meant a generous selection of acoustic booths were installed throughout the office. The booths provide an acoustically isolated space away from the main office buzz, whilst also offering the flexibility to be moved within the floor plan to allow for any future changes. An awning running off the back of two of the acoustic booths offers a playful element with a nod to camping and the great outdoors. This fun addition hosts a segregated furnished space for a more relaxed meeting area.
