Workplace design and
management consultancy, Space Solutions, has completed a
major renovation of Piper Sandler’s office in Aberdeen.
Located in Waverley
Place, Aberdeen, the 15,800 sq. ft., Grade B office building has been
modernised to nurture team culture and flexibility while retaining its historic
features.
The project was led
by the SPACE Design & Build team, incorporating interior architecture and
design, fit-out and FF&E, and supported by the Transform and Blind
Solutions divisions. Integrating local artwork and timeless furniture pieces
from the original office, Piper Sandler’s renovated office reflects its modern,
global identity while incorporating the historic features of the building and
the city.
Ruari Campbell,
Studio Director (Aberdeen) at Space Solutions, said: “With Aberdeen city centre
offices at a premium, we have modernised a historic building. Set in a prime
location, we incorporated social spaces within Piper Sandler’s office to
facilitate relationship-building with current and potential clients. Following
the increasing take-up of commercial property in Aberdeen, this project injects
critical investment and modernisation while retaining the city’s history.
“It is crucial that
workplaces are adapted to the needs of people who work in them, so we worked
with Piper Sandler to design an engaging, contemporary environment for their
young and vibrant team. By creating distinctly functional workspaces that
strengthen team culture and collaboration, we have provided the staff at Piper
Sandler with the variety to choose how they work, both internally and with
clients.”
Dani Breva, Director
Interior & Construction Management at Piper Sandler, commented: “The
remodel of the Piper Sandler Aberdeen office was an amazing transformation of
space. There are three goals I always want to achieve when remodelling, moving
or opening a Piper Sandler office: create a space that employees are proud to
work in, easy to recruit talent, and create a space you want to invite clients
to. The Aberdeen office remodel nailed all three! The team on this project was
amazing, great listeners, talented and fun – great partnership.
Following wide staff
engagement in the initial design stages, the renovations span the office’s
three floors. The ground floor features formal meeting spaces and boardrooms to
build client relationships. Open plan workspaces on the first and second floors
offer flexibility and areas for socialising, from focus pods for quiet work to
open collaboration spaces and huddle rooms, while retaining comfort and
contemporary style.
