Wikborg Rein
Scandi Heritage, London Edge
Wikborg Rein’s recently refurbished global headquarters in Norway provided the starting point for their new London office at 30 Cannon Street. While Scandinavian minimalism, clean lines and organic textures set the tone, the London scheme adds a distinctly British edge through richer colours and contemporary detailing.
With the building not naturally suited to a cellular office layout, we worked closely with the client to create an efficient plan that balanced private offices with optimised storage and more collaborative ways of working. The layout was taped out at full scale for the team to walk through before construction, ensuring every detail worked for them.
The finished workplace introduces a more modern approach to law firm culture, with breakout spaces, café tables and high benches encouraging lawyers to work and socialise differently. Bespoke details add personality throughout, including a statement bookshelf celebrating a previously hidden library, a secret door concealing the print and post room, bespoke ceiling joinery and herringbone timber-effect flooring.
