Monteith Scott switched on by Energy Catapult project

INTERIOR architects Monteith Scott has been appointed to design the inside of the new home of the Energy Systems Catapult in Birmingham.

The Energy Systems Catapult revealed earlier this year it would be relocating from Birmingham Business Park to Cannon House, on Priory Queensway.
 
Monteith Scott, based in the city’s Jewellery Quarter, has been appointed to develop a full interior design (see below), including space design and furniture consultancy for the Cannon House office.

The design includes a focus on encouraging and supporting collaborative working.

Alison Monteith, managing director of Monteith Scott, said: “This is a very exciting project for us to be involved in.
 
“The Catapult is an organisation that has innovation and creativity at its core, so we’re looking forward to exploring further how our design and fit-out of the new offices can support the Catapult and the energy sector in developing new products and services.”
 
Marc Stone, chief finance officer for the Catapult, said: “Monteith Scott has a proven track record of developing engaging office spaces and their vision for Cannon House clearly demonstrates their creative and forward-thinking approach.  

“We’re looking forward to seeing the building develop in the coming weeks and months into a space for the Catapult and for the industry. The facilities at our new office will also help us to deliver our five-year delivery plan.”
 
Work on the new offices is expected to commence in June, and complete ahead of the Catapult team moving in during the autumn.
 
The Energy Systems Catapult has been running since April 2015. It is one of 11 Catapults created by Innovate UK to drive growth in key industrial sectors.
