Old Mutual International (now Quilter)

Open And Accessible Set-up For Success

Old Mutual International, one of the world’s leading providers of international wealth management solutions, commissioned One Space to design a new home for the company’s relocation to a Grade A office tower in Causeway Bay. The task required us to design an open, accessible environment for the firm’s staff, whilst communicating the firm’s well-established brand values.

“Overall collaboration meant a successful outcome”
Mark Christal – Head of Region, Old Mutual International

When designing the office, One Space’s main focus areas, in terms of design and planning, included the efficient use of space and consumption of resources. Opting for open-plan workstations in the main floor area and a touchdown zone allowed for more open communication between teams. Supporting an open culture, a social hub with food and drink was built to act as the epicenter of the entire composition. To allow for more flexibility, two external meeting rooms could be combined into one larger boardroom for events. The deliberate shift towards fresh, invigorating modern tones was also evident in the back office for a more engaging work place setting.
