We were privileged to lead a major refurbishment of one of the jewels of the UK’s diplomatic crown – the British Embassy in Paris. We created high quality new office and meeting spaces that support modern working practices within the historic building, and removed internal partitions and barriers to encourage collaboration between staff teams. 

We inserted two new staircases that have radically improved movement and circulation throughout the building. We took the opportunity to restore previously hidden ceilings, and complemented these with carefully selected traditional materials. The result is a series of elegant yet robust interiors that will serve the embassy for many years to come.

Our refurbishment of the British Embassy has extended the lifespan of an extraordinarily important historic building in the heart of Paris. We carried out extensive repairs to the building envelope, and designed a flexible new internal layout that will enable the building to adapt easily to future demands.
