The brief

Area have worked with Motorola Solutions over the past five years to meet their business requirements, by expanding their data centres. When Motorola Solutions made the decision to sell their existing building in Basingstoke, they wanted to relocate their staff to offices in Rugby, Hemel Hempstead, Victoria in London and Slough.

Area was tasked with delivering the roll-out of Motorola’s new facilities. Having completed their offices in Slough, work then commenced on their flagship office in Victoria, London.

The solution

Taking design inspiration from Motorola’s global headquarters in Chicago, their executive London office provides a familiar look and feel to the US-based office, whilst also offering something completely different from Motorola’s more functional hubs across the UK.

Bringing Motorola’s branding and image up to date, the 11th floor of the Nova South building, one of two distinct, architecturally daring buildings in Victoria was selected. In line with their modern building choice, Motorola’s UK flagship office provides a contemporary customer-facing, flexible workspace for its staff and clients. The open-plan working environment includes touch-down spaces, breakout areas, and formal and informal meeting opportunities. In order to support this agile way of working, a state-of-the-art room booking system has been installed.

In addition, the workspace also includes a demonstration area where live simulations of the latest Motorola products can be presented to the city’s police and ambulance forces, as well as clients from large government organisations. Two separate comms rooms and an extensive AV package have been installed to sufficiently run the demonstration suite and the workspace’s infrastructure, which includes an N+1 critical calling system.

Project insight

“We are delighted with our new flagship office in London. It’s fantastic to have a central London hub that provides a contemporary and inspiring working environment for our staff and clients alike. We have worked with Area on various projects over the past few years, and in that time we have built up a great working relationship with them. This in turn has meant our brief requirements have always been met and each project has been exceptionally delivered.” – Motorola
