This was the second of three offices we designed for Nexus Creative Space and, fortunately, we were brought into the process long before building work started. The brief was simple: make this space ‘similar but different’ to number 16 which had preceded it. We took the same approach and kept the woodwork dark and the walls light for that contemporary feel, introducing interest and colour through a bespoke striped carpet that runs from the hallway all the way up the stairs and bespoke colourful wall shades in 4 bright colours. The basement was a muddle of dark rooms and this was where the ‘breakout’ room and kitchen were to be located. We brightened these up using light, bright colours and mirrors.
