Baker Hughes have a century-long track record, helping oil and gas operators make the most of their reservoirs. They needed a bigger workspace that would be as welcoming for their clients and guests as it was for their expanding workforce.

Now, you can find client meeting spaces, reception areas and a large breakout area as the new central focus for staff, encouraging interaction and collaboration. The result is a warm, welcoming office that allows this global company to be their best.

By sticking to a minimalist and sleek office interior design, we could ensure that the space was uncomplicated and was a destination for staff to enjoy.
