The Brief

Metaverse VR were looking to create a workplace they could be proud of, a space where their team want to be that also elevates the Metaverse VR brand. They needed space for desk-based working alongside world class facilities for training The Royal Navy and VR simulations. With Blue Jelly’s expertise in creating bespoke workspaces we were the perfect partner to deliver this ambitious CAT B project.

What we did

New structures were built to create two complex ship simulators for Navy training, complete with immersive multi-screens and full ship controls. A board room, directors office, demo classroom, control suite and two breakout areas were also constructed.

Ben Lark, Senior Designer, developed a space that is functional but delivers a clear Metaverse VR brand aesthetic. On entry you’re welcomed by a light box installation of the Metaverse logo with matching, brand coloured uplighting and soft furniture. Sustainable, Origami pendant lights made from sugarcane hang above the branded sofas. The futuristic reception desk is a bespoke construction made of pure white Corian.

The powerful brand message continues throughout with the Metaverse VR emblem etched into custom acoustic panel and the glass walls of the meeting room and simulators. Floor to ceiling graphics coat the feature walls.

The results

The new space has a consistent flow throughout yet creates the separation needed to allow desk working and intensive Naval training without disruption to either. The Metaverse VR brand is consistent throughout, it is clean and futuristic whilst being warm and inviting.

“We could not be more thrilled with our finished office space! The team are thoroughly enjoying working in such an impressive environment and are really proud to be showing colleagues, clients and partners around. Blue Jelly took our vision and brand and have created a space that has both impact, hi technology and affords us the flexibility we need. The team were a pleasure to work with at every point, efficient, knowledgeable and really partnered with us to achieve such a wonderful end product.” Claire Jones, Chief Operating Officer, Metaverse VR

Project complete!

ARA Venn, a specialist investment management firm focused on European residential strategies, needed to create a new workplace that would sustain their growing business for the coming decade. They were looking for a solution that would maximise the floorplan of their 4,500 sq ft space in the heart of Soho, with an accelerated timeline. Key to the brief was developing a flexible space to support the team with a large breakout area for them to recharge.

Clerkenwell Design Week did not disappoint. Our design team took to the streets of Clerkenwell to catch up with our wonderful furniture, finishes and flooring suppliers. On top of this, they made the most of the experience by attending thought leadership seminars on demystifying sustainability, colour and behaviour, artificial intelligence in architecture and inclusive design.

Re-introducing Blue Jelly.

Our brand has been evolving and developing for 21 years. But, we knew our look needed to be refreshed. It needed to represent who we are as a business and to celebrate our ambition and passion for our future.

Our new logo is a visual representation of who we are. It’s classic yet bold. Timeless and elegant. Custom made and skillfully designed. It symbolises our two greatest assets coming together: Blue – our process and Jelly – our people. It’s designed with our core values in mind, it’s a powerful symbol of who we are.

Last week our team collected mince pies, Christmas puddings, selection boxes, crackers, boxes of chocolate and stuffing & gravy for @windsorfoodshare to give out this Christmas. Well done team Blue Jelly!

This is our recently completed project to build a 6,000 Sqft flagship office for a Marlow based, global audio and sound experience company.

The brief was to create a modern, flexible workplace for their team whilst providing unique, top-of-the-line customer experience spaces for product demonstrations. Our team created bespoke joinery solutions to enable interchangeable product placement to suit differing customer needs.

Introducing @energyaspects at @cargo.london, Canary Wharf. Ben Lark, Senior Designer has created a space that flows with curved ceiling lighting, biophilic design, clean lines, premium furniture and subtle, brand-led wall art. Working alongside the team at @coreprojectservices on this project was delightful, as always.

Congratulations to the Blue Jelly team for cycling 700km in 24 hours to raise vital funds for @oceanconservationtrust. The aim was to cycle the distance Eton to Epernay, 544km. We completed this distance by 6am and decided to push onward and see how far we could go. This year we aim to raise £20,000 for Ocean Conservation Trust.

A glorious sunny day @ascotracecourse for Royal Ascot ☀️🍾🥂

Thank you to our brilliant supplier, Proform Interiors, for inviting our team along for a brilliant day out.

An inspirational design that creates a luxury, members club look and encourages collaboration. Alliots’ new office is set within a beautiful building in the heart of Covent Garden. High-quality fabrics, curved lines and beautiful lighting pieces frame the distinctive, open plan spaces.

Our two year partnership with @oceanconservationtrust will help protect and revitalise the natural habitats of our Oceans. We’ll be raising funds for the Blue Meadows initiative which is actively restoring and protecting the oxygen producing seagrass fields in our Oceans. #ThinkOcean #ESG #OceanConservationTrust
