275,000 sq. ft of prime London offices transformed across 6 heritage properties, including Grade I & II listed buildings
A new design standard
We strive to offer the most exclusive work environments, and take great pride in offering exceptional design and attention to detail. It was these values that inspired our extensive renovation programme of six of our heritage properties.
Redefined and reimagined by celebrated architect Damion Burrows, they not only define a new signature Argyll experience, but set a new standard for office design in the capital.
The vision
Our distinctive portfolio of heritage properties offers both opportunity and challenge. So this programme required a collaborative partnership with an ambitious architect and a team of the most talented craftspeople, who shared our commitment, vision and high standards.
At the heart of the reimagining was our desire to celebrate each building’s unique architectural features, bringing them to life in a way that creates a sophisticated place to work for our discerning customers. While at the same time achieving our ambitious ESG goals and improving their sustainability.
Transforming the office experience
Every detail was considered, from the hand-crafted carpentry to the custom-made Argyll scent

Efficient lighting design, and heating upgrades have ensured a sustainable future for these historic London properties
Every detail reimagined
The design concept was to create a boutique, residential feel, inspired by the iconic Mayfair townhouse look. Each property’s unique characteristics were woven into the design, with a rich tapestry of plush fabrics, elegant finishes and warm colours unifying all of the spaces.
The modern interiors reimagined each space to elevate the working day. New video call booths, relaxing lounges, elegant kitchens and break-out spaces, and impressive reception areas and meeting rooms create not only a distinctive place to work, but a sophisticated place to meet, network and relax.
