Workspace - Serviced Office - 8000 sqft

This concept design was developed for a serviced office provider, drawing strong inspiration from the building’s 1960s character. The existing features - terrazzo and concrete flooring, along with brass handrails - guided the overall aesthetic, with the aim of reinterpreting that mid-century materiality in a contemporary way. I proposed repairing and polishing the existing concrete floor to retain its authenticity, complemented by darker-toned timber joinery to introduce warmth and contrast. Texture played a key role in the scheme, with recycled leather ribbed panels adding depth to wall finishes, while concrete-effect tiles were used to clad columns. To soften the long communal corridor and create a more engaging spatial rhythm, I reimagined the existing rectangular columns as rounded forms. An exposed ceiling, sprayed in black, was introduced to bring a sense of drama and cohesion to the space. Although the project was ultimately cancelled before reaching site, the design demonstrates a thoughtful response to the building’s heritage and spatial challenges.
