Novae 21 Lombard Street

Novae Group PLC is an insurance underwriting company with over 360 staff throughout two global offices. To continue plans to expand and grow their business, Novae have relocated their London headquarters into levels 2-4 of 21 Lombard Street. The 42,000 ft² fit out includes CAT A refurbishment works to reinstate mechanical, electrical and public health services to levels 2 and 4 and CAT B fit out to level 3.

The new space includes open plan desks, client meeting rooms, reception area, associated tea points and N+1 resilient comms rooms. Clear communication with all stakeholders involved and coordination with the design team paved the way for an efficient and smooth running project with planned handover on programme.

Acoustics were a key focus on the project with the client-facing meeting rooms and the open timber slatted reception space; therefore, attenuation was closely coordinated with the acoustic engineers, interior design, and Elementa Consulting.

With Novae’s continued growth, they are already expanding with another floor taken to be fitted out in the building.
