Robarts Spaces project for Morgan Stanley’s China HQ in Beijing is featured in an Interior Design magazine online feature. This full scope interior design and build project, which has achieved LEED Gold certification, includes workplace strategy, furnishings, fit-out, lighting, MEP, IT Room design and build, and signage.

This global financial services firm sought to create a coherent, more personalized experience for both clients and team members, that embodies the firm’s corporate identity and values.

The well-appointed reception area features distinctive materials and colors, and unique art pieces. The boardroom’s high-quality furniture and finishes, with a split ceiling detail, compliment additional artwork featured in the space. Detail for the reception desk has an architectural quality found in the layering of stone and wood volumes.

Clear, well-integrated wayfinding, a priority for the firm to enable visitors to have a successful experience, guides clients and guests through the two-floor offices. A large café area maximizes the natural light available. The ample bar and a range of seating formats gives opportunity for staff to socialize, collaborate, relax, or engage in focused work. The café also offers beautiful views of Ditan (Temple of Earth) Park, which can be enjoyed from other areas in the offices including a window walk in elevator lobby.

In the work areas, offices are inboard, allowing all staff to enjoy the natural light, with collaboration zones incorporated into the office areas. To view the original article in Interior Design, please click here.
