The Brief

Winch Design are a high-end design and architecture studio that specialise in super yachts, private aviation and premium residences. They were looking for a partner to help them design and build a modern workplace to be their UK head office. Their property strategy was to move their team from 8 different locations into one studio in Putney. They wanted to embrace new ways of working with spaces for their team to work collaboratively, individually and remotely.

What We Did

Initially, we worked with Winch Design to complete a building appraisal which included developing the brief, analysing their space requirements, creating test fit scenarios and an assessment of the existing mechanical and services. Then we developed robust budgets, programmes and a feasibility study. Part of this initial process included developing design and proposals to install a communications stairway between the two main floors, which required us to get statutory and landlord approvals. We were appointed after Winch Design had secured their desired building with lease agreements. Our team built strong relationships with the leadership team through our structured engagement sessions and were able to harness the exciting ideas that came from their experienced design and architecture teams. The industrial finishes and earthy colour palette reflect the quality of the projects that Winch themselves work on. The furniture re-use strategy enabled Winch to maximise the life of their existing portfolio of pieces. Where new furniture was required, they’ve opted for premium furniture from Allemuir, Boss Design and others.

The Results

Working alongside passionate designers who work in an adjacent industry has been an absolute pleasure. We’ve challenged each other to think bigger. The resulting designs hit the high standards that we both hoped for and the results speak for themselves.

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
