Avanti’s vast range of systems solutions feature at One Canada Square

Service office provider, Abbey Business Centre, features visually stunning partitioning systems from one of the UK’s leading manufacturers, Avanti.

London based architecture and design practice, The Facility, specified Avanti partitioning systems for the striking project at Abbey Business Centre at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf. BPR Interiors was procured to oversee the fit-out and as specialist contractor installed many areas including the partitioning.

Clare Price, Managing Director at The Facility comments: “We specified Avanti partitioning as its range of systems met the desired performance and design requirements of the project”.

Solare Single Glazed partitioning systems were installed in the modern reception area and main corridors with a stylish blue backlit manifestation. The dramatic blue design has created feature walls providing a calming contemporary environment.

For the meeting rooms Solare Double Glazed partitioning systems were specified and installed for its outstanding fire and acoustic ability. In order to provide spatial flexibility within the meeting rooms glass operable walls were specified; the glass operable wall modules are suspended from a ceiling mounted track with no obstructions at floor level, compression seals lock each in place to ensure maximum acoustic performance.

Abbey Business Centres provide serviced offices and meeting room facilities to a wide-range of organisations from small startups, to SMEs and global corporates. To enhance this offering Avanti’s Legno natural hardwood partitioning system was specified and installed to provide acoustically separated areas for offices, meeting rooms and breakout spaces.

Matt Roberts Managing Director at BPR Interiors comments “We’ve worked with Avanti products on numerous occasions. The installation process was straight forward even with the wide variety of partitions used for this fit-out. Avanti’s technical department were able to provide the technical information and advice we needed in relation to the partitioning applications within this project.”

Clare Price adds: “Our company ethos at The Facility was utilised in this project at Canary Wharf. We believe that successful team relationships create inspirational design solutions. We are dedicated to exploring new ways of producing and communicating architecture and design to engage with the communities these projects serve.”

The Facility Architects re-visioned 22,000 square foot to create luxury flexible office space for one of the largest corporate providers in the UK for the refit of the 37th floor of Canary Wharf Tower, an iconic symbol of London’s financial district. The budget for the office project was £1.8m which was completed in Summer 2008.
