OP wins brief to fit out food firm's new home

Office interior design consultancy OP has won the brief to deliver the new Solihull home of food processing firm ABP UK.

OP will refurbish 28,000 sq ft of Vienna House, on International Park, following a competitive tendering process.

The 12-week project will create a modern, office environment for up to 200 people, with a range of settings to allow for privacy, focussed work and collaboration.

Features will include a conference suite, demonstration kitchen and space for town hall meetings. There will also be quiet spaces and also various areas for collaborative working and client visits.

Specialist acoustics will be installed throughout the workspace to ensure optimum noise levels.

The design includes finishes made with plastic sourced from the ocean floor and existing furniture and materials are being reused and retained wherever possible.

ABP acquired Vienna House earlier this year and will occupy two floors of the three-storey, self-contained building, on completion of the refurbishment.

Gary Tailby, joint managing director of OP, said: "We're looking forward to delivering a fabulous new workplace for ABP UK.

"The project is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between the two companies to pinpoint the best available location for the new office and create a high-end design that supports flexible ways of working.
