Red Bull

Alteration and refurbishment of Red Bull’s office and training centre in Covent Garden.

What Did The Job Involve?

This project was in two phases. Firstly the mezzanine floor meeting area including refreshment zone was refurbished. Secondly, a new bar area was created on the 5th Floor with stunning views over the London skyline. The conference room, staff kitchen, breakout and outdoor seating areas were also created in the same area.

The work itself comprised soft-strip and some minor alterations including new steelwork to the 5th floor. The finishes to the meeting rooms on the mezzanine were completely renewed with new victorian style internal glazed partitions. A media wall was constructed in each area with feature lighting being installed and new furniture.

Services were altered and renewed to suit the new layouts. MVHR and air conditioning were provided with supply and extract ventilation above a feature MF ceiling to the 5th floor. A new semi-circular bar with fixtures and fittings was installed in place with shelving and furniture units to the rear. The flooring to the bar area was precisely set out to ensure that the bar feature shape could be preserved.

What Were The Challenges?

Working in a live operational environment required not only the erection of physical barriers in the form of specially constructed acoustic and dust proof screens but also close liaison with Red Bull staff. Conferences and training events were accommodated by altering working patterns.
Restricted access meant deliveries had to be carefully scheduled.. Storage on site was limited and so materials had to arrive just in time or be moved constantly so work could progress.

As with many high-class fit-out projects design changes had to be accommodated during the works and this required the complete co-operation of our supply chain and our operatives on site.

Beardwell’s Added Value

Client specialists for AV and Sound Systems accommodated towards the end of the project without impact.

We brought forward a section of work into phase 1 to allow for a client conference.
