Perkins+Will

Global architecture and design company Perkins+Will, known for its commitment to sustainable and forward-thinking design, chose Billi’s sleek, energy-efficient water systems for its London headquarters. With a vision for a LEED Gold and Fitwel-certified workspace, Perkins+Will sought a solution that not only complemented the aesthetics of their cutting-edge office but also aligned with their sustainability goals.

Challenge: Premium Water System with High Performance & Low Environmental Impact

When Perkins+Will relocated to The White Chapel Building in Aldgate, they had a clear mission: to create a workspace that fosters agile working, collaboration, and sustainability. The 26,000 square foot office required a hydration solution that met these standards, providing boiling, chilled, and sparkling water with high efficiency while maintaining a sleek, underbench design that wouldn’t compromise valuable space.

Beyond performance, aesthetics played a crucial role. As winners of the FX Awards Interior Design Practice of the Year, Perkins+Will needed a tap system that blended into their contemporary kitchen and breakout areas. The solution also had to support their commitment to reducing environmental impact through energy efficiency and high-quality filtration.

 

Solution: Billi Quadra Plus Sparkling Systems in Matte Black

After an extensive search for the best-in-class hydration solution, Perkins+Will specified the Billi Quadra Plus Sparkling system, featuring:

  • Boiling, chilled, and sparkling filtered water from a XL Levered Tap in Matte Black
  • Hot and cold water from a Gooseneck Sink Mixer Tap, also in Matte Black
  • Chrome-finished Quadra Plus Sparkling systems for their conference rooms, strategically placed over the sink to enable jug and bottle filling

 

The seamless integration of these taps ensured that employees and clients enjoyed premium hydration without disrupting the minimalist, design-driven aesthetic of the space.

 

Why Perkins+Will Chose Billi

Testimonial

“We were looking for a smart solution to dispense boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from one tap that would complement our newly designed office. Apart from a reliable under-counter system, we were keen to match the dispenser colour and finish with the kitchen design to achieve a contemporary and vibrant space for our staff. Billi products have helped us to achieve this perfectly.”
