Overview

Seamlessly staying connected

Best known for its famous condiments, Food and Beverage Company Kraft Heinz was in search of a new location for its European HQ. Previously based in Hounslow for many years, Kraft Heinz was eager to relocate to a central, iconic location with strong transport connections.

CBRE presented an appealing 38,000 sqft. space across two floors, levels 20 and 21, within the London Bridge skyscraper, The Shard. Besides being western Europe’s tallest building with incredible views of England’s capital, the space was exactly what Kraft Heinz was looking for.

DENTON was appointed with the task to design and build a space that would seamlessly connect the European offices and allow them to creatively collaborate whilst providing a variety of spaces that can cater to their different styles of working for their team.

Solution

Spaces that are multifunctional for the team

DENTON created spaces for internal training and focus work. Provided high-spec telepresence rooms to teleconference between the global offices. A barista bar within the large restaurant/break out area which also had a stage that allowed them to broadcast to their global teams, supported with sophisticated AV Technology. Smaller breakout spaces to help staff well-being where they can relax, take a moment for themselves, and appreciate the London Skyline.

Key Features

Linking the team across two floors

To allow staff to easily navigate between the two floors without having to use the lift, Kraft Heinz requested that the floors were connected via an internal staircase. This feature was carefully considered and meticulously built to adhere to the building’s sophisticated fire safety regulations.

Fun Fact: The staircase itself does not technically join the two floors. There is a gap in the stairs to allow for movement between the floors. The top two-thirds of the stairs are hung, and the bottom third is cantilevered off the lower floor. Cleverly designed and structurally engineered to remain stable and visually not noticeable.

Working closely with the company for over 4 years, providing continued support throughout their journey. We have developed a long-standing relationship and are currently working with them to create an office space for the future, post-pandemic, to be completed by the end of 2021.
