The design sensitively transforms the ground-floor tenancy of an old printing house and enhances the character and texture of its original timber and raw concrete surfaces. A ‘grown up’ residential feel has been created in this office through sheer fabrics, broadloom carpets, a mass of indoor planting and a distinct lack of commercial ceiling tiles. A social kitchen and long communal table engage with the life of the street, then transition swiftly and purposefully into intimate, quiet meeting rooms and workspaces. Quality materials and considered details are elevated by use of texture and a shot of colour.
