A flexible working environment with a connection to the city.

Encapsulating the history of the site’s tradition with touches of new, our aim was to deliver a sustainable open plan office, in a creative warehouse space. Providing a progressive, cohabiting workspace, whilst reducing carbon emissions with green building design.

Driving collaboration and creativity with innovative office designs.

A focus point of the project was to create a working environment that benefited users of the workspace. Within the building design, we integrated electric chromatic glass into the space, allowing control of sunlight, whilst generous floor to ceiling heights maximise visual connections to nature and benefit wellbeing.

Considered design from the inside out.

Our interior design team selected furniture and materials to reflect and complement the architectural spirit of the building whilst the finishes palette accentuates the views of the river and city beyond. The layout is directly planned to support Tombola’s aspirations to create opportunities for idea sharing, communication and more organic interactions, with pops of colour helping to create a stimulating working environment.
