Maris Complete Office Relocation for Espresso Education
October 2010
Maris are delighted to announce the completion of the office design, fit-out and office relocation for Espresso Education, Hythe House, Hammersmith, London.
Espresso, a British Academy Children’s Award winner, relocated offices from the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith as their current workspace was holding them back in terms of headcount and operational requirements. Six months after their office relocation, Espresso owner, Lewis Bronze, enthused “The new office is the spring board for our future growth”.
Maris created a soft, relaxed workplace feel using funky furniture and coloured lighting, alongside strong corporate graphics on the meeting room glazing to show branding and keys words to describe Espresso’s image. Maris captured the essence of the Espresso brand perfectly and subtly applied it to the office interior.
Ben Stringer, Chief Financial Officer of Espresso Education, commented, “After a period of rapid corporate growth, this really was a very significant step for us and one that was going to help define the culture and workflow of the business for the next 10 years. It has been a great success, and despite this being something one doesn’t do too many times in one’s corporate life, the entire process was far less burdensome than I had feared. This was in no short regard thanks to the end-to-end service that Maris delivered.”
“The Maris Team were very supportive during the entire process, working closely with our Project Manager, ensuring that any roadblocks or issues were quickly resolved and that the office relocation project maintained its momentum. They also provided both general and technical support in helping us explore the layout options available for our shortlist of buildings which was instrumental in our final selection. Maris had a very good sense of what we were trying to achieve from a look and feel perspective, with the final layout and design flourishes having really helped make the space both a functional and fun place to work.”
