The Brief

After working closely with the Hitachi team on a workplace design and build project in the iconic Broadgate Tower, they trusted that we would deliver on their brief for this project at Ditton Park in Langley. Hitachi wanted to create a workspace that was unmistakably theirs, incorporating their strong brand palette with modern and collaborative working styles to create an environment their staff wanted to come to. The designs needed to draw on the philosophies developed in the project at Broadgate Tower.

What We Did

Initially, we supported the Hitachi team with layouts and space planning to understand how the space could be maximised. Taking into consideration access to natural light, the space plan positions the work settings along the outer edge of the workplace with the meeting rooms tucked in the centre.

The design concept balances sleek minimalism with tactile warmth, creating spaces that feel both refined and inviting. It draws on the strong brand colour palette and celebrates Hitachi’s Japanese heritage. The Hitachi team wanted to include nods to the rich local history of the Ditton Park estate incorporating 80% Hitachi brand with 20% local history.

To support Hitachi’s ESG goals we took a sustainable approach to the furniture strategy. Where possible furniture was reused and repurposed. We made sure this fitted with the overall design scheme and advised on sustainable new pieces to complete the space.

The Results

This project was a huge success, the Blue Jelly and Hitachi teams worked seamlessly together proving the value of developing long term client relationships. The Hitachi team are thrilled with the outcome of this project and the team are utilising the spaces in the ways that were intended.

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.
