When legal firm Lee & Thompson chose to update and rebrand its office headquarters, the company consulted interior design experts Thirdway to transform the tired, dated space into a practical and inspiring commercial environment. The resulting contemporary workspace was given a high-end twist usually associated with a ‘membersonly club’, with Amtico’s Signature LVT flooring providing the finishing touch. 

Pushing the traditional boundaries

With Lee & Thompson looking to push the traditional boundaries in which they worked, Thirdway’s project team looked to translate this mindset into design. Legal teams were previously spread over multiple floors, but were soon reallocated to one floor, so as to achieve a more collaborative and creative style of working. Amtico Signature LVT was chosen for the project, with two patterns from the Designers’ Choice collection offering a bold and eye-catching means of enhancing the office atmosphere as part of Lee & Thompson’s long-term vision.

Distinctive styles

71m2 of Monotone was used in the kitchen and breakout area in a Key Stone Mini laying pattern, while 271m2 of Mansion was fitted in the reception and meeting room in a French Weave arrangement. The contrasting designs allowed for zones to be created within the office space, while maintaining the British-led style and sophisticated finishes integral to the overall design.

In terms of the breakout area, this space also needed to accommodate events, so catering provision, kitchens and a large island for bar service were factored in, as was a 10m long moveable glass wall. It was important for the materials specified to improve with age, without compromising the overall ‘members club’ feel; a role that the smooth and versatile contemporary stylings of the Basilica Salt, Kura Opium and Kura Caraway elements of Monotone was able to achieve with elegant ease.

Bold statements. Big ideas. What our clients say.

“Lee & Thompson are no ordinary law firm. Their clients in media and sport are used to the delights of London’s members clubs and they wanted the office to emulate this. The geometric flooring was specified to add colour and eye-catching detail; reminiscent of tiled flooring the bold-pattern colours complemented the blue cabinetry. The individual hexagonal shapes also allowed us to create a bespoke design layout.” — Flora Sharp, Designer Thirdway
