The Brief

Campbell Johnston Clark (CJC) are a relationship focused, international law firm specialising in shipping and international trade. Following a period of sizeable growth they were in search for a new, flagship workplace that would future proof them as their team continues to build.

What We Do

Our early engagement with the project team at CJC allowed us to assist them with workplace consultancy, creating a series of test fits for potential locations. An opportunity arose for CJC to expand their presence at their current location within a period property in Aldgate. Taking on additional space across three floors.

Our design team developed a scheme for a refurbishment in occupation to transform the existing space and tie in the new areas. The flexible solution includes project tables, study booths, collaboration poseur tables, meeting rooms, a legal library, tea points and a gym.

The lower ground floor has been transformed into a modern breakout with a central bar area, soft seating and feature lighting. It is designed to be a flexible space for entertaining clients as well as being a place for the team to recharge.
The aesthetic gives the feel of a luxury, boutique lounge with rich tones, textured wall coverings and feature lighting that peaks through wooden slated ceilings. The premium furniture finishes the space, creating inspiring spaces for the team to collaborate and focus.

The Results

Working closely with the tenant and landlord team we managed a multi-phase construction schedule to ensure minimal disruption to the team as they continued to work from the space.
CJC’s workplace has become an inspiring and motivating place for the team to work from. Existing workspaces have been rejuvenated and the new section of the workplace have been transformed.

Project complete!

ARA Venn, a specialist investment management firm focused on European residential strategies, needed to create a new workplace that would sustain their growing business for the coming decade. They were looking for a solution that would maximise the floorplan of their 4,500 sq ft space in the heart of Soho, with an accelerated timeline. Key to the brief was developing a flexible space to support the team with a large breakout area for them to recharge.

Clerkenwell Design Week did not disappoint. Our design team took to the streets of Clerkenwell to catch up with our wonderful furniture, finishes and flooring suppliers. On top of this, they made the most of the experience by attending thought leadership seminars on demystifying sustainability, colour and behaviour, artificial intelligence in architecture and inclusive design.

Re-introducing Blue Jelly.

Our brand has been evolving and developing for 21 years. But, we knew our look needed to be refreshed. It needed to represent who we are as a business and to celebrate our ambition and passion for our future.

Our new logo is a visual representation of who we are. It’s classic yet bold. Timeless and elegant. Custom made and skillfully designed. It symbolises our two greatest assets coming together: Blue – our process and Jelly – our people. It’s designed with our core values in mind, it’s a powerful symbol of who we are.

Last week our team collected mince pies, Christmas puddings, selection boxes, crackers, boxes of chocolate and stuffing & gravy for @windsorfoodshare to give out this Christmas. Well done team Blue Jelly!

This is our recently completed project to build a 6,000 Sqft flagship office for a Marlow based, global audio and sound experience company.

The brief was to create a modern, flexible workplace for their team whilst providing unique, top-of-the-line customer experience spaces for product demonstrations. Our team created bespoke joinery solutions to enable interchangeable product placement to suit differing customer needs.

Introducing @energyaspects at @cargo.london, Canary Wharf. Ben Lark, Senior Designer has created a space that flows with curved ceiling lighting, biophilic design, clean lines, premium furniture and subtle, brand-led wall art. Working alongside the team at @coreprojectservices on this project was delightful, as always.

Congratulations to the Blue Jelly team for cycling 700km in 24 hours to raise vital funds for @oceanconservationtrust. The aim was to cycle the distance Eton to Epernay, 544km. We completed this distance by 6am and decided to push onward and see how far we could go. This year we aim to raise £20,000 for Ocean Conservation Trust.

A glorious sunny day @ascotracecourse for Royal Ascot ☀️🍾🥂

Thank you to our brilliant supplier, Proform Interiors, for inviting our team along for a brilliant day out.

An inspirational design that creates a luxury, members club look and encourages collaboration. Alliots’ new office is set within a beautiful building in the heart of Covent Garden. High-quality fabrics, curved lines and beautiful lighting pieces frame the distinctive, open plan spaces.

Our two year partnership with @oceanconservationtrust will help protect and revitalise the natural habitats of our Oceans. We’ll be raising funds for the Blue Meadows initiative which is actively restoring and protecting the oxygen producing seagrass fields in our Oceans. #ThinkOcean #ESG #OceanConservationTrust
