Project story
A feat of ingenuity and inventiveness; we delivered 50,000 square metres of cutting-edge office space in record time for global investment bank Nomura’s consolidated European headquarters in London.
The brief was challenging. Nomura signed the lease on 1 Angel Lane in August 2009, and staff in its Lehman's office, which they had recently acquired, had to move out of their premises by September 2010. Our priority was to get space fitted out for the dealers along with supporting facilities by July 2010 – when people would start moving in - with further sections completing in August.
The client recognised that the programme was the main driver for the project and put together a crack team with experience of delivering high-quality fit out in short timescales. Como worked with the architects, designers and other contractors to deliver the swift and collaborative response needed.

“After 18 months of occupancy, I still see a very high quality work environment, one which is still much visited and admired by clients of the firm and peers from other organisations. It’s still commented on and appreciated by our people and was all achieved within a programme that most would consider impossible.”
