BCO London Talk & Tour: The Alpha Group

After creating ‘the best office in Bristol’ for Alpha, the international financial services group asked Ikon to rise to similar heights for it’s latest fit-out project in Paddington, West London. Their workplace needed to combine design continuity from their existing offices, with its own originality and authenticity. It was crucial to develop a space that promoted collaboration and socialising whilst supporting the fast-paced, high performing culture that is engrained in Alpha’s ethos.

Key to the vision and character of the project were areas such as the boardroom and reception, an auditorium, a 20m-long bar and a golf simulator room. Drawing on materials from the industrial landscape of the local area, the space is softened by swathes of high-quality joinery, while feature lighting adds drama and depth to the background.
