Designing efficient logistics spaces that support performance, security and workplace experience.
Woods Bagot was appointed to undertake the interior design and some exterior architectural design of Bloomberg’s logistics and distribution facility in East London.
Talk to Peter O’Donnell about Workplace Interiors
The project required the reconfiguration of the existing facility – previously occupied by a major high street fashion retailer – to allow Bloomberg to operate a more effective storage and retrieval facility. This included the installation of a new inflatable docking system to the existing loading bays to create an airtight seal. The design ensures that when one or all of the five loading bays are in operation, a consistent level of thermal comfort is maintained during the unloading and loading of goods. Additionally, it ensures the overall heating and cooling efficiency of the building.
The design upgrade also aimed to improve the quality and effectiveness of security around the site, incorporating additional fencing and integrating new security screens and an automated surveillance camera system. The brief focused on the redesign of spaces on the ground and first floor warehouse offices, which include the entry lobby, staff break-out and high-speed printing and copy areas, as well as an open plan work floor, conference rooms, a training suite, storage rooms and corridors.
