Stratosphere Tower, 55 Great Eastern Road, London.

The Shell and Core to CAT A fitout scheme was designed by Recraft architects. The design brief for this newly purchased unit was to fitout the space to a contemporary CAT A office space. The design incorporated an entirely new mezzanine level in the double-height space, increasing the usable floor area.

In April 2018, we were approached by Recraft architects with a design brief to deliver a contemporary lighting scheme for the entire office space. Our lighting design team worked closely with the architect, making sure the scheme achieves the CIBSE and BCO guidelines whilst maintaining the contemporary look desired by the client.

The office space consists primarily of open-plan ground floor space with a double-height frontage onto the Stratford Station area and a mezzanine open plan office space. 

Contemporary linear lighting was used across the entire space. The generous ceiling height in most of the space was suitable for suspended linear lighting. The reduced ceiling height in the mezzanine area was calling for the exclusive use of surface-mounted lighting.

The architect liked the clean and contemporary look of the Rio Suspended and Rio Surface mounted. Thanks to its superb build quality, excellent performance and high visual comfort, Rio is a popular choice of general lighting for working environments.

The result is a bold contemporary scheme making this trendy CAT A office fit out an attractive proposition to a future tenant.  The premium finish, airy settings, and comfortable lighting combined with an energising colour scheme, make the Stratosphere Tower an attractive place to work.
