Mourant Ozannes have offices across the globe, but for several years their Guernsey team was scattered across the island, making teamwork just that little bit harder. Deciding to wait until the perfect opportunity, they finally landed the perfect location, the Royal Chambers, located in St Peters Port, bringing all 155 employees under one roof.

Before moving in the firm went for a complete overhaul, stripping out the old and redesigning and refitting the interior. Enlisting the help of architects Axis Mason and Design & Build company POS Interiors, they created a bright and airy workspace, providing a variety of environments which utilised the stunning views out to sea.

Largely traditional, the main office space reflects the identity of the brand, and utilises both open plan and cellular offices. The floor above will feature moveable partitions allowing the space to be reconfigured as required, or even left wide open as one large area, ideal for seminars and lectures which the firm frequently holds.

As well as two floors of office space, there is a rotunda, which incorporates break-out areas where staff can meet informally, as well as prepare food and drinks. This variety of environments is key to the design, providing flexible spaces for the company’s variety of needs.
