A manned reception continues to be a key asset for multi-occupied buildings, providing security, visibility, and a professional presence that tenants value. It also offers practical benefits, reducing the need for individual occupiers to allocate space and budget to their own reception areas.
As a shared service, the reception sets the tone for the entire building, creating confidence for visitors and occupiers alike from the moment they arrive.
Today’s occupiers expect more than a traditional reception. In a competitive property market, landlords are reimagining these spaces as destinations that support modern working, incorporating business lounges, informal meeting areas, bookable rooms, hot-desking zones, quiet spaces, and communal cafés.
These amenities add real value when included within the building offering, enhancing the occupier experience while helping landlords attract and retain tenants. The result is a welcoming reception that strengthens the building’s appeal and competitiveness.
Refurbishing a building’s reception is an opportunity to enhance the value of your asset. We begin by understanding your goals, whether you’re looking to refresh the building’s image, unlock underused space, or create flexible areas for collaboration and interaction.
From entertainment screens and refreshment points to carefully considered desk functionality, we assess how the reception operates day to day. This ensures the final design supports staff, security, and visitor experience seamlessly.
Once the brief is defined, our designers develop a refurbishment scheme tailored to your building, incorporating flooring, lighting, bespoke joinery, furniture, finishes, and acoustic solutions.
Your dedicated Ben Johnson Interiors delivery team manages the project from start to finish. Where buildings remain live, we create phased refurbishment plans to minimise disruption, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to completion.
