Highgate Studios is a commercial refurbishment project in Kentish Town, London, centred on the CAT A renewal of 12 office units together with circulation areas, stair cores, a cycle store and shower facilities. Public project information describes the works as a substantial upgrade carried out within a live, multi-tenant building, including new mechanical and electrical systems, ventilation, heating and cooling, public health services, drainage, lighting and power infrastructure. That wider refurbishment programme is intended to strengthen Highgate Studios’ offer as a creative workspace campus, combining the character of its historic industrial setting with the performance and comfort expected of modern office accommodation.
Within that setting, Capricorn Contracts’ blinds package contributes directly to the usability of the refurbished office floors. In commercial environments of this kind, internal shading is not only about appearance; it also affects glare reduction, privacy, user comfort and how effectively workspaces perform throughout the day. Across four floors of office areas, the requirement called for a coordinated solution capable of supporting a clean CAT A presentation while still addressing everyday operational needs for future occupiers. The fact that the wider project was delivered in a live building also highlights the importance of organised installation, careful sequencing and minimal disruption.
Highgate Studios illustrates how specialist fit-out elements help complete the transition from construction work to lettable office space. Once the structural and M&E improvements are in place, finishing packages such as blinds help define the quality of the final environment occupants actually experience. Capricorn’s role therefore sits within a broader refurbishment story: helping turn upgraded shells into practical, comfortable and visually consistent workplaces that suit a modern creative and commercial campus in one of London’s established mixed-use neighbourhoods. In this sense, the package contributes not only to interior comfort but also to market readiness, supporting the presentation of the refurbished floors to future tenants who expect well-resolved, immediately usable workspace.
For Highgate Studios, Capricorn Contracts delivered the window blinds package to refurbished office areas across four floors, helping complete the transformation of the space into practical, occupier-ready workplace accommodation. Capricorn’s work supported the needs of a CAT A commercial refurbishment by improving glare control, privacy and day-to-day comfort while maintaining a clean, professional finish suitable for modern office letting. Installed as part of a wider live-building upgrade, the package contributed to the overall usability and presentation of the completed workspace without compromising the project’s programme or quality standards.
