BRIEF: To design a head office for Pernod Ricard, a premium wine and spirits company. ISSUES: Facilitate agile working, nurture staff wellbeing, capitalise on CBD and water views, incorporate 15 structural columns. SOLUTION: The concept for this design was ‘from grain to glass’. A rich, earthy colour palette combined with premium materials fosters an atmosphere of convivialité—the defining ethos of the parent company—while repeated wavy lines evoke topographical maps and undulating fields. SUSTAINABILITY: Cork, low VOC paints and environmentally certified timber and carpet were specified.
