MCM's recently completed fit-out for world-leading multimedia company Condé Nast International, mixes sleek and contemporary design to create an exceptional work space in their new London HQ.

MCM had the pleasure of working with one of London’s art deco gems, the landmark Adelphi Building, with panoramic views overlooking the Thames. For an iconic publishing house—one that is synonymous with style and innovation—the new offices are at the cutting edge of contemporary design that provides the perfect working environment for its workers.

The vision for the project was to create an inspiring environment, which would foster a culture of openness and experimentation through enabling collaboration. The space would become a device to aid recruitment of the best digital talent, as well as help to retain existing stars, it was to provide all the necessary tools that one would expect of a digitally focussed company yet retain and celebrate the heritage of a brand which is synonymous with being innovative and influential. We achieved this by a large amount of early engagement to build the vision and map out the various work styles and moods for each space.
