The One Off: Commercial Interiors

We work to understand the function of commercial spaces. We know they need to work hard and will on the whole have a lot of use. We believe a head office or workspace is the home of the brand and should create a brand culture with employees both functionally and emotionally. We design spaces that connect with both employees and visitors.

We have created reception spaces, workplaces, conference and training facilities for a range of clients both big and small.

Royal Doulton
We were approached by Royal Doulton to help them design their new head office following their acquisition by Wedgwood. We developed a materials palette to reflect the brand palette that had white at its core.

We encouraged the team to display fascinating objects from its archive to illustrate the company’s innovative approach to product development.

We chose to create a unique
three dimensional wall tile based
on a Minton floor tile that was manufactured in the Doulton factory. As part of the project we created
a reception, work and
showroom spaces.

Our first client! From temporary exhibitions at the Scottish Open to brand architecture at the Worldwide Headquarters, Canary Wharf, we
now work with Barclays across
retail, signage, interiors, identity
and branding.

From pencils for meeting rooms to 160 brand walls across 15 floors, we expressed the Barclays brand, at appropriate volumes, through the new Worldwide Headquarters at Canary Wharf.

We worked with Jeff Banks on a whole range of staff uniforms, from the security guard at the front door to the hostess on the 31st floor. One lump or two... six designs, 7,000 mugs; one for everybody.

We designed a welcome pack for each member of staff which gives them everything they need to help settle into their new home. The magic, six sided help cube!

60 brand stories, each told from a customer, colleague or community perspective. Designed and implemented by The One Off across 160 walls throughout. The sign off
on each wall finished with
'everyone counts'.

A unique brand experience space, permanently situated at 1 Churchill Place. A simple ribbon runs through the space which can flex to accommodate different brand messages and media.

Prime location destinations for the more discerning Barclays customers. We created first-class lounge-style environments at Canary Wharf, The City, Knightsbridge and Paris.

After being recommended by Barclays, we were asked to look
at branding the Clifford Chance Headquarters at 10 Upper
Bank Street.

Following this we were invited to pitch on the Academy...we won!
We looked at ways of instilling confidence in its value as an area
for training, and how to create an inspirational destination.

We reconfigured the space to create a hub to both meet in and navigate from. To date, the Academy team are thrilled with their new environment, as are the delegates. Feedback is that people can't wait to get there!

We used symbols of listening, learning and growth as the mood
for the interior graphics to create motivating environments
for delegates.
