Royal Mail
The Royal Mail Head Office based in Old Street, London underwent a major refurbishment. 11,500m2 of existing office space was refurbished to create the headquarters of Post Office Ltd. As part of the works, the existing large kitchen was mothballed and a new grab and go shop and hospitality kitchenette were created out of the existing deli, servery and dining area.
The design was undertaken by Ferro Design Ltd in conjunction with the caterers Quadrant. The main challenge with the space was the reduced head height which was restricted by structural beams within the area.
The finishes were chosen to reflect the Royal mail/Post Office image. In order to achieve the vibrant post office red, we used a material call Zodiac by DuPont, The shell for the new catering facility was which is an advanced composite material provided by the main contractor. Martek made of 93% quartz; this gives the product were employed to fit out the new coffee an unusual clarity and consistency of shop to include bespoke joinery, new colour, qualities which combined with flooring, ceiling, lighting and decoration. exceptional strength and durability made
the perfect finish for this commercial catering environment. The colours were reflected through the seating area with giant vibrant graphics helping to create a more high street retail feel to the space. We also fitted out some catering storage areas as well as a small hospitality kitchen, which would be used for servicing the catering needs of the meeting rooms throughout the building. Some of the equipment was salvaged and reused from the mothballed kitchen, which helped to reduce the budget.
