Origin

Set in a historic neighbourhood in Clifton, our transformation delivers a modern, versatile and accessible co-working space for the local working community.

The refurbishment, fit-out and extension inspires collaboration and a sense of community, whilst externally, new curtain walling helps the building to better integrate into the local conservation area. The addition of a new roof terrace supports people’s wellbeing, providing access to open air and stunning views out across Bristol.

As part of our client’s main aspiration, we delivered an office space with three values at its core, ambition, progression and connection. We fulfilled this goal by creating spaces for local start-ups and entrepreneurs to work and collaborate in innovative ways.

Considering the site’s location on the edge of a conservation area, concerns were understandably raised during the design process. It was unclear to stakeholders the impact the new development would have on the heritage of the area.

To ensure the building retained its historic character and interest, we applied new curtain walling to the exterior. This subtle yet effective feature enabled the building to gracefully blend into the landscape whilst simultaneously giving a clean, sophisticated look.
