Urban Studio were appointed by Ballymore Properties and Hines UK to carry out the interior design of the common parts for Snow Hill Building Two located in central Birmingham.
Urban Studio worked closely with Sidell Gibson Architects who were the concept architects on this 17 storey building comprising 315,000SF of net usable space.
By working closely with the concept architects Urban Studio were able to ensure that the award winning interior design for the common parts was integrated seamlessly and harmoniously into the overall design of the building. Great care was taken in the selection of materials and to ensure that the interiors married in with the spatial arrangements and stunning views that can be enjoyed both vertically and horizontally across the atrium.
The brief required concepts, which, in addition to being compatible with the overall design of the building, were to cater for a targeted market of multinational and national companies comprising lawyers, accountants and other major commercial organizations. “Lifting the spirits by providing an on arrival experience” at the two entrances to the building was also an essential ingredient in the design.
Working to strict financial and programme constraints Urban Studio worked closely with the concept architects in providing durable, maintainable and sustainable materials to achieve a Grade A Breeam excellent rating.
Sidell Gibson Architects are now part of HLM Architects
