Project Overview

Markerstudy Group sought to redesign and modernise their existing office space to accommodate additional desk positions, improve natural light distribution, and create a multi-functional workspace for various departments. The goal was to enhance collaboration, comfort, and efficiency while incorporating quiet working zones and dedicated MS Teams rooms for virtual meetings.

Presence & Co. delivered a comprehensive office transformation, ensuring the project was completed on time and within budget, while aligning with the company’s branding and operational needs.
