The reception and lounge space was crafted to evoke the intimacy and comfort of a residential study, establishing a sophisticated first impression for visitors. The reception area includes a custom desk that combines luxurious marble with warm red oak veneer, offering a striking contrast to the dynamic silver noir wood panels that line the walls. Adjacent to this, the lounge is furnished with plush seating and bespoke accessories, cultivating a cozy atmosphere that serves as an ideal setting for unwinding with a book.

Key collaboration areas, like the pantry and conference rooms, continue to blend practicality with a refined aesthetic. The pantry, adorned with a striking black-and-white book-themed wallcovering, seamlessly integrates into the overall narrative of the space while providing a comfortable gathering area for employees. The main conference room is equipped with unique Contour ceiling baffles, which not only improve acoustics but also add a sculptural element to the design. These rooms foster both formal and informal collaboration and are thoughtfully situated to deliver a balance between privacy and openness.

Drawing inspiration from the communal atmosphere of a public library, the work area embraces a bright and open design, promoting productivity and a shared sense of purpose.

The layout features six executive offices, 16 private offices, and 20 workstations, all configured to accommodate the varied work styles and tasks of Kensington’s employees.
