British Council, London

Ian Gunter-Jones of Amalgam was asked to redesign the main headquarters reception area. We worked with specialist security advisors to incorporate various enhanced security measures. Creating an outer ‘air lock’ lobby and an inner welcome and waiting area.

The inner reception area is often used for hosting events and exhibitions. So our scheme incorporated a programmable lighting system that enables the ambience to be transformed to suite the different requirements for each event.

Our HQ reception design was particularly important as it had to incorporate a number of enhanced security measures, whilst maintaining a pleasant environment for both staff and visitors, and creating somewhere flexible enough for us to host some prestigious events.
