The project

The brief

Carson Cumberbatch PLC wanted an abandoned office floor of 3,000 square feet turned into a co-working space.

The challenge

One open floor had to serve focused work, meetings and informal breaks, without losing the daylight and the views over the city and the sea.

The approach

Black steel-framed glass pods give privacy without blocking the light. Sage-green panelling and trusses painted the same green tie the floor together over oak herringbone, while patterned cement tiles mark each pod. Long solid-timber tables, a kitchen of white subway tiles and green cabinetry, and a rooftop terrace with timber lattice tables complete the space.

Draft: to be confirmed by Shenali.
