English term or phrase: stripped down to
The company occupied teh fourth fllow of a shared business premises. However, personnel growth gave rise to a search for another working environment. It was decided to relocate to the first floor.
The landlord allowed us to equip the floor according to our own requirements. It was a large clearing job. Everything was stripped down to the outer walls.

Hanno tolto tutto, lasciando solo le pareti esterne???

svuotato/ripulito da cima a fondo


Explanation:
il senso è quello che hai inteso tu, hanno tolto tutto - sono rimasti, appunto, solo i muri

smantellato/buttato giù


Explanation:
Mi pare si tratti più di buttare giù anche muri, se è ambiente di lavoro aziendale può richiedere spazi particolari e se parla di lasciare soltanto the outer walls mi pare coinvolga anche lavori sulla struttura interna. Anche il fatto che il proprietario abbia dato un permesso non credo si possa riferire solo al togliere eventuali mobili o imbiancare pareti. Non ho capito se le altre risposte parlando di svuotare fanno riferimento anche a questo, scusatemi per la spiegazione pleonastica in quel caso.
