Briefing

Deciding to stay at One Embankment Place, the iconic Terry Farrell air-rights building which has been the UK head office since 1991, PwC‘s brief was to create  a workspace that breaks down barriers, creates flexibility & agility with improved collaboration, while maximising the use of natural daylight & providing a great customer experience. Selected specifically to organise the office with greater flexibility, Bene provided PwC with 3 open plan workstation solutions, including hot desking. Bene also found a winning solution to maximise the use of their space, devising a system that enables Partner offices to be used as group meeting rooms. Over 4,500 people now work flexibly across the whole building, sharing 3,150 workstations on a highly agile occupancy ration of 1:1.45.
