Case Study: Edelman UK & Ireland creates a flexible, client-focused London HQ with Gensler

Edelman UK & Ireland creates a 45,000-square-foot workplace with Gensler

Edelman UK & Ireland, a global communications firm, faced the challenge of moving away from traditional commercial real estate to create a dynamic workspace that would reflect the modern workforce's needs, inspire creativity, embody its values, and serve as a catalyst for growth. They partnered with the design firm Gensler for an interior design solution that would transform a historic London warehouse into a client-focused environment.

Gensler's solution involved the adaptive reuse of a 1900s building, adding 10,000 square feet and eight new mezzanine levels to create a flexible ecosystem with over 700 seating options and twelve distinct zones. The design retained 15% of the building's original materials and dedicated an entire floor to client relations. The impact was a vibrant headquarters that sets a new standard for workplace design, enhances client relationships, supports diverse workstyles, and positively contributes to the community, ultimately serving as a catalyst for Edelman's future growth.
