A registered charity founded in 1872, the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) is a network of 23 independent school and two academies with the mission to support girls’ school education across the UK.
After their relocation to the Verde Building in Victoria, we were tasked to create a bright, welcoming space inspired by Scandinavian design trends. This translated into wooden furniture, a colour palette of warm beiges and greys, and the integration of natural light into the working space.
Designed to create a dynamic workspace, by integrating traditional workstations and individual meeting rooms alongside open plan collaboration areas, we supplied furniture that encourages employees to work either socially or individually to suit their specific needs. Sit-stand desks, for instance, are accompanied by high-tables equipped with electric equipment, while private high-screen sofas allow for one-to-one meetings.
Despite the strict security protocol of the building, the installation was carried out within budget and on time and we have since provided GDST with post-installation support whenever called upon.
