Toscafund

An oasis of elegance and human-centric design elevate staff attainment  

AIS embarked on redesigning Toscafund Asset Management LLP’s Marylebone offices, focusing on individual comfort, privacy, and collaboration while honouring their unique culture.

Guided by extensive conversations with Toscafund’s leaders and staff, our design strategy was meticulously tailored to embody their identity, aspirations and operations. 

The workspace, spanning two floors, seamlessly integrated different work zones to encourage collaboration. Infused with biophilic elements, the open-plan layout breathed life into the environment, promoting staff wellness. In the center of the lobby, an eloquently designed marble staircase symbolising more than elegance – it connects teams split between two floors, fostering collaboration amongst dispersed teams. 

Additionally, provisions for staff well-being, including showers, lockers and a vanity space, facilitated a balanced blend of work and personal life. The adjoining rooftop terrace extended the experience by offering scenic city views, creating a remarkable space for both team interactions and client engagements.

Integrating identity and functionality

The achieved space harmoniously blends functionality and opulence. Client-centric zones, featuring diverse meeting areas and a convenient tea point, boast finishes of refined marble and oak timber. These materials not only evoke a sense of understated luxury but also resonate with the understated simplicity inspired ethos of the Toscafund brand, fostering a seamless client and staff experience.
