Cain International

We partnered with Cain International, a leading real estate investment firm, to relocate their workspace from Mayfair to Islington Square.

Transforming Cain International’s New Headquarters

The project involved transforming a heritage-listed former post office sorting building into a future-proof office space. Our team was tasked with preserving the historical integrity of the space while future-proofing it for co-working or separate tenanted offices, featuring shared breakout areas and meeting suites. Key elements include a revitalised main staircase, a top-floor event space, and a bespoke front-of-house meeting suite on the lower ground floor.

Maximising Functionality and Preserving History

Maximising the use of awkward spaces was essential to accommodate Cain International’s workforce, ensuring a blend of breakout areas and quiet zones. Functionality was enhanced by introducing sliding folding walls in the meeting suite, bespoke joinery credenzas, and new crittall exterior entrance doors. The bespoke reception desk not only functions as a welcoming point for employees and guests but also serves as a striking design feature upon entry.
