Office Principles hands over Big Group’s Notting Hill HQ

Office Principles has completed the design and build of a marketing agency’s new west London headquarters.

The leading interior design consultancy has delivered a new flexible and collaborative workspace on behalf of integrated digital marketing and communications agency, Big Group.

Office Principles has transformed more than 10,000 sq ft on the third floor of The George Building on Nicholas Road, part of the Notting Dale Campus.

The new workspace is characterised by the use of concrete walls and ceilings, exposed fittings, crittall-style glass and feature lighting to create an industrial warehouse feel.

It features a series of work zones, including a combination of lounge spaces, collaborative areas and meeting booths, and a quiet library for focused work.

Office Principles has installed a variety of furniture combinations, with high tables, a Chesterfield-style sofa and hot pink bucket chairs, complemented by an eye-catching use of patterned fabrics and striking wall art.

Employees will benefit from a large outdoor terrace space which provides a connection between the office and the space outside.

The design was informed by a workplace consultancy project delivered by Office Principles in partnership with Big Group.

Big Group is an independent agency that helps its clients to connect with their markets and customers. Formed more than 25 years ago, it has offices in Newbury, Bath and Amsterdam and employs 150 people.

The George is a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rated building, designed by the award winning practice, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris for Adena Investments.

Tom Parsons, sales director at Office Principles said: “Big Group is a creative agency that delivers unique experiences and this project was all about creating a workspace that reflected its heritage and culture. We’ve delivered a bold, contemporary design that allows Big Group’s diverse workforce to work collaboratively on a single floorplate. Our team has moved at speed to complete the build in just 10 weeks and we’re proud to have delivered a workplace that leaves a lasting and positive impression.

Nick Scott, CEO at Big Group, said: “Office Principles delivered us an office environment fit for purpose and our future growth. It was delivered under the difficult circumstances of the pandemic but on time and on budget, they were very professional in their approach, We are extremely pleased with the results.”
