8. International Financial and Media Company, London
PARK HOUSE, 16 FINSBURY CIRCUS: 72,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
The irregular configuration of the base building, comprising retained listed facades and
chaotic structural geometry, provided inspiration for the design concept by prompting
non-orthogonal, dynamic architectural elements throughout.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
The three floors are linked by a suspended feature stair that provides convenient
vertical communication and an opportunity for impact branding as it wraps around the
1.3 tonne acrylic sign, being highly visible from the glass lifts and atrium within the
multi tenancy building.
All guests and staff enter the office via the fourth floor reception and pantry ensuring
continual interaction, visibility and exposure to the company’s brand. Crisp white
finishes and close attention to detail provide a minimalist space punctuated by the
colour and movement of the signature fish tank and numerous plasma screens.
The efficiently planned workspace incorporating a bench desk system provides a single
workstation standard which, combined with fully glazed meeting rooms, reinforces
equality, transparency and openness.

10. Ernst & Young, London
1 MORE LONDON PLACE: 12,920 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
M Moser were appointed for this high profile marketing driven project to redesign
the entrance lobby for Ernst & Young’s largest office in the world.
E&Y were keen to improve the visitor experience for clients, the facilities available
to it’s 5,500 people using the building and also incorporate their new branding
guidelines.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
M Moser’s design solution responded directly to Ernst & Young’s design principles:
Transformation “creating a sense of movement and direction through
spaces.....strong continuous dynamic forms and kinetic interactivity.” Inspiration
“providing stimulus that stretches horizons and leaves people feeling invigorated
and enlightened.”
Ernst & Young invested in award-winning technology for the media wall that is low
in energy consumption, while reusing and recycling furniture, technology and
materials from the original reception area was key to maintaining the project’s
sustainability credentials.

12. Halcrow, London
43 BROOK GREEN: 126,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
As a leading global engineering firm, Halcrow was also looking for a building to
provide a better infrastructure to support their business teams. This building
needed to be able to meet their sustainable operational targets as well as being
innovative and flexible.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
M Moser was appointed for full design and delivery based on a pre-agreed cost
plan, programme deadlines and quality expectation. We immediately set up a
project team office adjacent to both the client office and proposed site. From this
location we held strategic planning workshops to fully understand Halcrow and
discover the user brief through a process of intense integration and feedback.
In addition to this, the entire site was modelled in 3D and design options were
presented, not on paper, but through digital media. This enabled the client to be
able to discuss the model and alternative designs in real time in the client’s offices,
with the whole supply chain.
12
14. Swarovski, London
CHISWICK PARK: 16,680 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
The Swarovski Consumer Goods Business, the retail arm of the international brand,
has seen a radical transformation over recent years, with a future ambition to be
the market leader in the premium fashion jewellery market. While Swarovski’s
jewellery offer and retail outlets reflect this ambition, the company’s previous UK
headquarters had found itself increasingly left behind. The facility’s location near
Gatwick left it far away from the ‘pulse’ of the brand’s target market – and from
fresh professional talent – found in London and other major urban centres. The
office’s cellularised layout did little to encourage communication and idea-sharing
between staff members – and indeed militated against staff participation in a
brand which now prized creative thinking, vitality and passion.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Major elements of the brief for the new workplace therefore constituted an
opposing reaction to the old one. Emphasis was placed on open rather than
enclosed architecture, though still offering various staff teams and departments
the degrees of visual and audio privacy appropriate to their activities. This was
underpinned by the delivery of an inspiring and enchanting work space which
would ensure a more creative and inspirational working environment. Rather than
being expressed entirely through décor, the essence of the Swarovski brand would
largely be conveyed from the actual architecture of the space.

16. Hitachi Consulting, London
2 MORE LONDON RIVERSIDE: 10,300 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
Hitachi Consulting hired M Moser to initially provide strategic advice, looking at
how the workplace could support their work styles and where in Central London,
they should be located. This information was then further communicated to the
real estate agent who worked closely with us and the client to identify the correct
locations, suited to their own clients and staff commuting needs.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
We identified seven key business goals for Hitachi Consulting which needed to be
addressed for the project to be truly effective. We then took those deliverables
and explored, with the client, how they might be met through building selection,
design and good communication.
Once these targets were agreed, we set out on a programme of design
collaboration, change management strategies and conceptual envisaging of
solutions to ensure that the design solutions fully supported the business goals.

18. Antenna Audio, London
85 GREAT EASTERN STREET: 7,600 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
Antenna Audio provide audio tours for museums and are part of the Discovery
Channel group of companies. Their London business needed a combination of
collaborative spaces for staff and technical spaces, including a sound booth and
expandable conference room in a demise that was not equipped to a full Cat A
specification.
Previously, they had worked closely together over one floor and relocating them
into a three storey demise provided a real brief challenge.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Our design response was to provide focus on the central circulation places where
occasional meetings and social interaction should be encouraged, using strong
iconic colours and shapes. The effect was to greatly improve the usage of these
central spaces and as a resultant improve communication between teams.
The budget was extremely constricted yet provided lots of scope for creative
solutions. Strong use of colour and simple industrial finishes enabled Antenna
Audio to achieve an impactful environment while focussing on the value that the fit
out had to deliver to the business.

20. Sheffield Haworth, London
60 GRESHAM STREET: 8,400 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
A combination of growth and an expiring lease prompted executive recruitment
firm, Sheffield Haworth, to relocate to new offices in the heart of London and
provided them with an opportunity to capture their corporate image through their
workplace environment, something they didn’t previously have.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Through our Integrated Project Delivery approach M Moser Associates were
appointed to design and fit out the Category A space to accommodate 76 staff with
private offices, and provide both formal and in-formal meeting rooms for
interviews to be held in the strictest confidence.
Set as part of the front of house reception area these high performance
acoustically treated meeting rooms convey both a contemporary and elegant feel
reflective of Sheffield Haworth’s business partners and clients, whilst the staff tea
point was all about fun, colour, and staff collaboration. M Moser’s design
knowledge and focused selection of finishes provided a high end design that met
the clients budget constraints, yet exceeded their expectations.

22. Strategic Fixed Income, London
35 GROSVENOR STREET: 1,700 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
Investment managers, Strategic Fixed Income were looking to come out of their
serviced office in Brook Street and relocate close by to the recently refurbished office
building on 35 Grosvenor Street. The challenge was to create an office that reflected
the ethos Strategic Fixed Income wanted to incorporate within their new office
environment - modern, neat and professional.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Workshops with the client revealed a requirement for the space to help promote
transparency and flow through the office. This was achieved by focusing circulation
around the main core: where the route would transcend the enclosed space e.g. a
meeting room, flow was encouraged with the introduction of a pocket sliding door
that could be hidden away when in the open position to give the impression of a
space without barriers. Glass doors and partitions were chosen as the materials for
the doors to again augment the effect of transparency and flow.
Additionally, the new environment had to gel with some of the existing elements that
were being relocated from the previous serviced office to the new one, i.e. lounge
furniture, workstations and a Vitsoe shelving system. Careful design consideration was
given to the choice of new joinery, materials, furniture and lighting mood, which all
had to work well with the established and relocated elements.

24. D E Shaw & Company, London
55 BAKER STREET: 23,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
A leading US hedge fund which prides itself on its casual, hierarchy-free workplace
wanted to relocate its European HQ to a prime West End location. This involved
reconfiguring three floors of operations into one 23,000 square feet workplace
which would double as the company’s product showcase whilst also reconfirming
their corporate identity. M Moser Associates was engaged to redefine the brief and
budget and deliver full design services whilst managing client expectations both in
New York and locally, in London.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Once appointed, M Moser Associates provided full turnkey, integrated project
delivery services assuming responsibility for design, project management and
delivery. QS services were provided by an external consultant.
By analysing and critiquing previous relationships between M Moser Associates and
the client, for whom we had completed work prior to this project, we were quickly
able to reproduce a similarly successful relationship with the personnel involved in
this undertaking. This relationship was enhanced by close liaison and design
development between M Moser and the client’s in-house architect. Continual
collaboration allowed us to stretch both the design philosophy and specification and
we became a valuable conduit between the business, in-house and local teams,
successfully conveying the intent of the global organisation to the London team.

26. Standard Chartered Bank, London
1 BASINGHALL AVENUE: 6,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
The Standard Chartered Private Bank fit-out was created in accordance with global
alignment and consistency in the corporate environment of the private bank. Relocating
from the West End to the City, Standard Chartered’s offices were designed to provide
personal banking for select clients.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
The general design concept revolved around four Consultation Suites with a distinct
theme allocated to each. Inspired by countries spanning half the globe, the look and feel
of the Consultation Suites offers a glimpse into the wealth of knowledge gained from
operational experience in these markets. The suites were furnished and decorated with
artefacts and antiques relating to the specific geographical theme of each one – the
Niger, the Nile, the Ganges and the Amazon.
Each meeting room reflects these themes in its artwork and accessories whether
designed as a formal setting with a meeting table, chairs and credenza or an informal
setting with soft seating and a coffee table.
Comprising a foyer, desk and waiting area, the tastefully decorated reception space is
reminiscent of a personal library and lounge, with the intention of creating an
environment which is both welcoming and discreet. A private cashier’s suite is also
incorporated into the design as is back of house office space for 70 staff.
26
28. Scottish Re (Pacific Life Re), London
TOWER BRIDGE HOUSE: 9,500 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
As a specialist life reinsurance company, this was a major, brand led move for the
company. Our client was eager to provide an elegant and sophisticated workspace
for its staff with a comfortable lounge area and functional support areas.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Positioned to make the most of this typical Richard Rogers glass building, the
modern understated design sits peacefully above the chaos of the city below. A
substantial reception with a view over Tower Bridge greets the visitor. A limestone
clad floor and angled feature columns overlook a luxurious staff and client lounge.
Two half height clock walls are ambitiously constructed with charged phosphorous
faces to indicate the 10 different time zones in which Pacific Life Re. operates.
The partition system was specifically chosen to achieve a very high level of noise
reduction using 16mm insulated single glazing. This minimal glass design was
offset with a rebated, heavy, dark wood veneered door set to compliment the
white furniture and chocolate carpet. Colours are kept to a minimum, with the
white monolithic furniture transcending the chocolate walkways, which are split by
a glass floor lit from below and a ceiling of glowing fabric panels.
28
30. International Financial and Media Company, Dubai
CURRENCY HOUSE : 14,740 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
The primary design challenge, particularly given the extreme heat of the Dubai climate,
was to provide a first class office environment within a double height space with full
height glazing on three sides and a glass roof. The challenge was intensified by the
company’s requirement to achieve a LEED Gold minimum certification.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
The solutions to overcome this particular challenge included a canopy of shading discs,
mechanised roller blinds activated by light sensors, high performance solar film applied
to the glass and modified air conditioning systems.
An innovative high level lighting solution was designed to provide an even illumination
to the worksurfaces while creating a dramatic backdrop for the live broadcasts
transmitted from the office area. The lighting and signage was also specifically designed
to externally reinforce the brand and maximise the highly visible location within the
Dubai International Financial Centre.
This was our first ‘holistic’ project for the company and was instrumental in further
nurturing our ‘trusted advisor’ relationship by demonstrating our creative talent and
delivery expertise, which subsequently lead to the award of designing their 72,000sf
project in London.

32. La Prairie, London
8-10 HAYMARKET, LONDON: 3,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
M Moser contacted to design and fit out la prairie’s new UK Headquarters in
Haymarket, London. La prairie is A luxury skincare brand, specialising in marine
biology for skincare products for over 30 years.
The scope of service involved design and deliver a scheme which will sympathize
with the brand by providing a clean, bright, luxurious and exclusive environment.
The scale of the space was quite small, while several requirements such as
additional washrooms, training and meeting rooms, with staff welfare facilities
meant the design approach to the working environment had to be functionally
intelligent and simple.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
The furniture was based on one system which could be bespoke to meet the clients
specific requirements, within the given budget. This involved showroom visits
followed by technical meetings to ensure the level of detail could be achieved
without any compromise.
32
34. PruHealth, London
20 GRACECHURCH STREET: 12,000 SQ.FT.
CHALLENGES:
With ongoing expansion and a lease break opportunity, PruHealth selected a single
floor on 20 Gracechurch Street for new workplace to cater for the organisations
developing business requirements.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS:
The solution enabled rationalising existing floor-split teams onto a single floor,
improve team interaction, while their relocation to the City allowed them to be
better aligned with other organisations in their industry.
M Moser has enabled PruHealth to create an intelligent use of space which
provides for efficient styles of working. Two main desk clusters are buffered by a
central social hub, around an atrium offering large breakout flex, touchdown space
and refreshment facilities.
M Moser's successful appointment was largely due to capturing PruHealth’s brand
and vision, as our prime objective was to minimise work and use what the building
offered to define spaces, maximise on growth opportunities while considering
budget limitations and the project’s sustainability credentials.
