The brief

After rapid expansion, Strongbyte found a run-down industrial unit in the Cotswolds and asked us what could be done.

Opening it up

Looking beyond the existing layout and the false ceiling from the 1970s, we saw the potential to open the space both vertically and horizontally, taking the full height of the A-frame roof into the main working area. The result is a light, airy place that is a pleasure to work in.

The stairwell was opened out with glass, leading up to an open-plan office. Carpet and wood flooring separate the working area from the breakout space, with a teapoint and a variety of meeting, collaborative and customer-facing areas.

Glass opens up the stairwell, and the change from wood to carpet marks out the breakout space.

The result

Clients always remark on the design and how well the space works. It has had a very positive impact on staff wellbeing, and on first impressions for visiting clients.

The brief

Oxford Capital asked us for a design that reflected its brand and values: welcoming, passionate, clear, energetic, outgoing and smart.

The design

We suggested a hint of Scandinavia, with a ‘less is more’ look that gives a smart, contemporary message. Unique artwork and bold colour bring in the energy and passion.

How people work

Surveys and interviews before the design led us to an activity-based workplace, with a choice of collaborative spaces: booths, quiet rooms, and impromptu and formal meeting areas, all with seamlessly integrated technology.
