Blog Courtsey : Amron Architectural Ltd
Hexaware’s workspace at 1 Canada Square was envisioned as a contemporary, wellness-focused environment, aligned with its prominent Canary Wharf location. The project centred on creating a space that balances strong acoustic performance with a polished, high-quality aesthetic that complements the building’s elevated architecture.
At the heart of the design is Amron’s AC500 raft ceiling system, demonstrating both flexibility and precision. Fully customisable, the system was adapted with bespoke dimensions, detailing and perforation patterns to align seamlessly with the overall design intent. The specification of Zircon RB25 expanded mesh, powder-coated in RAL 5022 (Night Blue), introduces depth and character while maintaining a refined finish.
The Vision
The client set out to create a modern, wellness-led workspace that reflects their identity as a global digital transformation company. Clean lines, high acoustic comfort and a calm, sophisticated atmosphere were central to the brief, particularly given the flagship nature of the Canary Wharf location. The ceiling solution needed to support this vision while integrating effortlessly into the wider design.
The Solution
The AC500 ceiling system was selected for its versatility and performance. Its modular design allows for bespoke configurations, a variety of profiles and perforation options, as well as additional finishes, making it well suited to premium commercial interiors. Beyond aesthetics, the system enables easy access to integrated services, maintaining functionality without disrupting visual continuity.
Project Execution
Working in collaboration with DMG Workplace, the bespoke ceiling solution played a key role in achieving a clean, contemporary environment that meets both functional and acoustic requirements. The result is a workspace that feels considered and refined, while reflecting Hexaware’s brand identity and central London presence.
The Final Result
The project highlights how custom metal solutions can enhance commercial interiors while addressing complex technical demands. Through its flexibility and performance, the AC500 system supports a workplace environment that prioritises wellbeing, clarity and user experience, demonstrating the value of thoughtful, integrated design.
