The 85 acre site was transformed into their new UK headquarters taking the brave step to relocate from a Central London location to rural Essex. John Evans and je+1 collaborated with the JW in-house team to produce a series of stunning interiors that included five residential accommodation blocks, a 400 seat multi-purpose auditorium with canteen facilities, exhibition space, a four storey office building, an onsite healthcare centre and leisure facilities with indoor swimming pool and gym.

Alongside the Interior Architectural elements, we developed the Receptions, Office Spaces, and Healthcare Facilities.

The designs took on a palette echoing the Architectural elements of the project, using exposed concrete to combine with the warm tones of the timber detailing. Each building featured vertical slatted detailing to entrance and corridor areas and specifically designed way-finding of differing colour tones with additional braille sections to aid with the visually impaired and maximise accessibility to all visitors.

The project was recently shortlisted as finalist for Project of the Year for the Mixology Awards alongside only four other projects.
