AIS – Statkraft, London

Statkraft is a leading company in hydropower internationally and Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy. Realising the true value of the workplace well ahead of their time, the Statkraft team understood the value of agility and flexibility in the workplace and approached AIS to deliver the design and build of their new workplace with a brief to improve collaborative working and define their brand identity to champion a stronger cultural connection amongst their staff. Embodying the clients core business function of renewable energies, the design concept woven throughout the space mimics nature through repetition and layering, as well as juxtaposing natural and man-made elements in a harmonious way to emulate the manufacturing processes of renewable energy.

Conceived to enhance the embodiment of brand, the project started with a strong design scheme that sought to emulate the concept of renewable energy (the clients core business); the collection of renewable resources, such as wind, rain, and sunlight which are then transformed into energy. Seen through the continuous repetition and layering of design elements throughout the space, prominent design features evoke a sense of connection between natural and made objects, fostering connects to the core purpose of the Statkraft business.
