Green Investment Bank is the first bank of its type in the world, backing green projects on commercial terms and mobilise other private sector capital into the UK’s green economy. The Green Investment Bank fit-out won the British Council for Offices Award 2014, for projects up to 2,000m2.
Flexiform were asked to supply a tender bid for the supply of furniture for the impressive UK headquarters of the Green Investment Bank on the seventh floor of Atria One in Edinburgh. The bid included furniture for the whole office, including reception, meeting rooms, boardrooms, open plan office space, and café and breakout areas, which included the outdoor balcony. Flexiform’s design teams were also asked to offer bespoke furniture solutions for the CEO office, meeting rooms and VC rooms.
“The Judges commented that the UK Green Investment Bank and their designers have created a calm and pleasant workplace within Atria One in Edinburgh. The team maximized the inherent spectacular panoramic views over the distant Firth of Forth and in close proximity to the city skyline and Edinburgh Castle. The use of branding, colour, technology and staff engagement creates a very positive environment for the enjoyment of the occupiers, and gives GIB a pride in showcasing their operation to Ministers of State and visiting dignitaries.” – British Council for Offices
Environmentally Friendly Office Furniture.
After a visit to our showroom in Livingston, Flexiform were successful in a tender bid to supply the entire furniture practice. Green Investment Bank wanted their suppliers to have green credentials which Flexiform has, thanks to all of our products being reused and recycled. We conduct a full carbon footprint audit on an annual basis, are FIRA certified, and are part of the Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme. We are also FSC® certified and ISO 14001 approved.
Throughout the Green Investment Bank project, Michael Laird Architects selected natural, clean products to illustrate the bank’s green credentials and ethos. Flexiform products have a clean, minimalist design, which works with the theme and tone of the building. Due to the success of this project, Flexiform has continued working with Green Investment Bank on further projects.
