After creating ‘the best office in Bristol’ for Alpha, the international financial services group asked Ikon to rise to similar heights for its latest fit-out project in Paddington, West London. Intended for an Alpha subsidiary, the workplace needed to combine design continuity from the Bristol project with its own originality and authenticity.

Key to the vision and character of the project were areas such as the boardroom and reception, an auditorium, a 20m-long bar and a golf simulator room. Working with the industrial landscape of the local area, the space is softened by swathes of high-quality joinery, while lighting adds drama and depth throughout.
