Regus, the world’s largest provider of innovative workplace solutions, has recently opened its new flagship business lounge in Berkeley Square, Mayfair. In keeping with the desirable location, the facility, designed by architects Barr Gazetas, challenges preconceived ideas about traditional business venues and features a number of meeting rooms, conference suites and refreshment areas with a deliberate boutique hotel feel. From visionary architecture to the latest technology, it’s something London and the UK should be proud of. The cuttingedge audio visual design and installation - complete with Crestron control system - was carried out by award-winning integrator, Smartcomm.
The Mayfair building is a resource every professional can easily and cost effectively access. It has been designed to cater for businesses of all types and sizes. Corporate clients and mobile workers can take full advantage of state-of-the-art conference and training facilities, get access to telephones, internet, print from blackberry capabilities, and IT and administrative support. Interior design was carried out by Barr Gazetas in conjunction with branding consultant Honour Branding. Morgan Lovell carried out the fit-out whilst Smartcomm were responsible for the complete audio visual installation in the basement conference suite, ground floor reception and refreshment areas, as well as in various meeting rooms on two floors.
“During the design process,” says Mark Allen of Smartcomm, “we had to keep in mind that the meeting and conference rooms would have a different user every day. Furthermore it would be likely that these users would be visiting for their first time and have no previous experience of the AV systems. From our experience we knew that a Crestron system would make laptop connection simple, and when combined with a touch panel, would ensure simple functionality and allow the user to select the material they want to see displayed on the screen quickly and easily. We took Regus to the Crestron HQ in Cobham and also to one of our recent award winning installations so that they could see this in action and from there they bought into our ideas in a big way.”
