Designing flexible office space to attract modern tenants

Bloc Commercial Interiors was appointed to deliver the full design and fit-out of the 2nd floor at Aquis House, a prominent commercial building in the heart of Reading. The project was commissioned by the landlord, USS, with Cogent acting as project managers to ensure seamless coordination and delivery.

The brief was to transform a vacant floorplate into a high-quality, flexible office environment that would appeal to a wide range of potential tenants. The space needed to reflect modern workplace trends, with a focus on collaboration, comfort, and sustainability, while also aligning with the building’s overall aesthetic and the landlord’s long-term leasing strategy.

The completed space is a vibrant, modern workplace that enhances the overall value of Aquis House. Delivered on time and within budget, the project has received positive feedback from both the landlord and prospective tenants. The design successfully positions the 2nd floor as a premium, ready-to-occupy office space in a competitive market.
