Case Studies

Squire & Partners

Squire & Partners are a renowned British architecture firm that have spent over 35 years designing and executing award-winning projects in London and internationally. Their approach seamlessly integrates architecture and interiors, drawing inspiration from locality and history to create sophisticated spaces.

In 2017, the firm undertook the ambitious transformation of a historic Edwardian department store in Brixton into their new headquarters. This project was about revitalising a landmark and ensuring every detail met the highest standards of design and functionality.

Challenge: A Stylish and Functional Hydration Solution

With over 220 staff members spread across three office floors, Squire & Partners needed an efficient and aesthetically pleasing hydration solution. Their vision included an instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling filtered water system in Matte Black, paired with a matching mixer tap to complement the workspace’s striking copper-finish kitchen worktops and black cabinetry.

Beyond aesthetics, they required a reliable and sustainable system that aligned with their commitment to design excellence and environmental responsibility.

Solution: Innovation Meets Elegance

To meet these requirements, Squire & Partners chose Billi’s Quadra and Quadra Sparkling systems, featuring the XL lever dispenser in Matte Black. These systems deliver boiling and chilled filtered water instantly, providing convenience while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Additionally, they installed a Gooseneck Sink Mixer Tap in a matching finish, ensuring a seamless look while offering hot and cold water access. The integration of our space-saving underbench technology helped maximise available kitchen space, thereby eliminating the need for bulky units or unsightly ventilation cut-outs.

The project was successfully coordinated alongside leading design and engineering firms, including Stoneforce, Colliers, and DSA Engineering, ensuring smooth installation and integration into the workspace.

To maintain peak performance and water quality, Squire & Partners opted for the Billi Gold Maintenance Plan, which is a comprehensive service package covering routine servicing and filter replacements. This set-and-forget approach ensures uninterrupted performance, reduced downtime, and the peace of mind that comes with expert care from our accredited technicians?.
