Standard Life Investments

As Standard Life Investments sought to renovate and expand its existing office, this financial investment firm, headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, also strived to achieve a balance between function, aesthetic appeal, and productive collaboration. VC seamlessly integrated the new expansion with the original design VC completed more than a decade ago. Utilizing low panels between workstations encourages interaction amongst all employees of the firm. The removal of barriers also allowed for more natural light to pass through the interior glass, reaching into interior spaces. A fun employee kitchen, featuring whimsical elements and colors, was created for daily use and social gatherings. Boardrooms were outfitted with 85-inch flat screen technology monitors with state-of-the-art AV systems. When not in use, these screens could be hidden in the millwork behind recessed pocket doors for a cleaner aesthetic. Locker rooms and shower rooms were added to the facilities to encourage employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance.Read more
