Burness Paull Aberdeen, 2 Marischal Square, Aberdeen

Ross Ellis Stewart worked closely with Burness Paull LLP to design their new Aberdeen office, located on the second floor of 2 Marischal Square.

Designing for Post-Pandemic Workplace Needs

The office design prioritizes flexibility and functionality, incorporating features that align with modern working practices:

• A staff café kitchen and dining area fostering informal interactions and team bonding.

• Acoustic meeting pods for focused work and small group discussions.

• Dedicated desk areas to balance personal workspace with shared amenities.

• Client-Centric Spaces for Business Growth

  
  

For client engagement, the design includes a multi-functional client suite featuring:

• Meeting spaces for seamless collaboration.
