McLarenBuilding

The refurbishment gives the McLaren Building a broader mix of spaces for businesses at different stages of growth. Smaller private rooms sit alongside larger team settings, allowing the building to support a more flexible serviced office model.

This range of workspaces is important to the character of the project. Rather than creating one repeated office type, the layout gives occupiers a choice of environments, from focused rooms to shared lounge and breakout areas.

Optima 117 Plus Shoreditch Edition was used to create the enclosed rooms while keeping the wider workplace open and visually connected. The dark-framed detailing gives the glass a stronger architectural presence, helping each space feel clearly defined without becoming closed off.

The Shoreditch Edition finish also sits comfortably within the building’s more urban, innovation-led character. It adds rhythm and depth to the interior, giving the partitions a design role as well as a practical one.

The redesigned reception, lounge and breakout areas are central to the project’s shift from underused space to a more active workplace environment. These shared areas give occupiers places to meet, pause and work away from their main office setting.

The glazed partitions help organize that experience. Enclosed spaces are separated from the communal areas, but views and daylight are retained across the interior, allowing the workplace to feel connected, open and easy to navigate.
