How do you design two workspaces that feel like the same brand, without taking a one-size-fits-all approach? 🧩 We partnered with Crowe UK to deliver two distinct offices in London and Reading, each tailored to the local teams but united by a consistent look and feel. 📍 In London, the focus was on creating a client-centric space that represents Crowe’s brand values and leaves a lasting impression. 📍 In Reading, the priority was on graduate training and peer learning. We designed an open, collaborative environment that supports development and helps to attract and retain top talent.

We all know the importance of first impressions. 🤝 Whether it's a new client, a potential hire, or your team walking in on a Monday morning, the way a workspace welcomes you in says a lot. ◾ It sets the tone. ◾ It shows you care. ◾ And it sticks in people's minds. From welcoming reception areas to intuitive layouts, here are a few of the arrival experiences we've designed to leave a lasting impression. 💭 What's the first thing you notice when you walk into a workspace? #ClientExperience #WorkplaceWellbeing #OfficeDesign

Birmingham holds the title of the UK’s ‘second city’, and it's not just down to its population. With the rising cost of office space in London, many national and international firms are choosing Birmingham as an alternative to the capital. In our latest article, we explore how the city’s newest developments are shaping the way we design workplaces: 💥 Why Birmingham’s office market is booming 🌎 The role of sustainability, flexibility and amenities 💡 How design is responding to changing occupier needs 🔑 Key takeaways for businesses planning a move https://ow.ly/7MSB50VsaLs #CommercialRealEstate #BirminghamOffices #WorkplaceDesign

When it comes to workplace experience, the key is in the detail. 🗝️ Bringing materials that mirror the natural world helps satisfy our innate need as humans for connection to nature. Tactility gives us something to engage with beyond screens and surfaces, while thoughtful lighting can create a sense of calm, alertness or warmth depending on the time of day. 🍃💡 These design decisions might feel subtle, but they make a measurable difference to how people experience the workplace.
