Finlaison House, Vallist

Size

31,500 Sq ft

Location

EC4, London

Vallist, a global serviced office provider, appointed us to deliver their first London site at Finlaison House in Holborn. Spanning over 30,000 sq ft across five floors, the flagship project was conceived as a hospitality-led workspace with concierge-style service and a premium food and beverage offering, creating a place that gives people a new way to experience work in the city.  

Project in Brief 

  • Reimagined over 30,000 sq ft across basement to fourth floor as Vallist’s London flagship. 
  • The ground floor is designed as a café-style social hub with a reception area and a bespoke barista bar. 
  • Flexible team suites, private meeting rooms, and advanced AV boardrooms were created on the upper floors. 

An Arrival Designed to Linger  

The ground floor blends reception with a club-like lounge, anchored by a bespoke barista bar. Clad in timber and topped with Corian Dune Prima worktop, it creates a warm, social hub where hospitality defines the first impression. Surrounding spaces use vintage tones, soft furnishings and tactile finishes to set a sophisticated yet welcoming tone. Branding was kept discreet, letting atmosphere and experience define Vallist’s identity. 

The upper floors were planned for adaptability and growth. Every office suite includes its own internal meeting room, giving tenants privacy and convenience within their space. Boardrooms were fitted with advanced AV, supporting high-level collaboration. The design balances flexibility with premium detail, shaping a building that can meet the demands of various occupiers.  

Beyond an Office 

The flexible workspace has been designed to host a curated programme of business networking and cultural events, offering members more than just a place to work. The basement includes showers, lockers and bike storage, encouraging sustainable commuting. Wellbeing is part of the experience, shaped with the same care as hospitality. Acoustic comfort, quiet corners and social areas create an environment where people can work, meet and recharge on their own terms.

The Portugal Power Outage and the Case for On Site Energy Generation
In April 2025, large-scale power outages rippled across Portugal, Spain, and parts of South-West France, leaving millions without electricity. Businesses were brought to a standstill, public services halted, and critical infrastructure came under pressure. Despite their strong emphasis on renewable energy leadership, the incident served as a sobering reminder that even green grids can fail under stress. While geographically different, London is not immune to similar r
