Our vision was to create a dynamic environment that prioritises adaptability, providing diverse spaces and breakout areas to foster collaboration and unleash creativity among our team members. Area’s new studio is built upon three core principles: sustainability, wellbeing, and collaboration. Its design aims to cultivate a vibrant and confident atmosphere while embracing technology to elevate engagement, foster creativity, and enhance productivity. 

As visitors step into the studio, the objective was to create and unforgettable first impression. The entrance exudes an aura of sophistication, adorned with rich, dark colours that evoke a sense of refinement and elegance. A captivating screen, strategically positioned at the entrance and visible through the glass door from the outside, instantly captures the attention of all who enter the building, serving as a dynamic advert for our brand. 

We've intentionally drawn a clear demarcation between our office space and the visitor experience. Upon entering, guests are treated to fleeting glimpses of our lively and vibrant workspace, which cleverly contrasts with the darker entrance area. This deliberate design choice cultivates an air of intrigue and allure while also respecting the privacy of our team members. As our visitors and clients enjoy their experience, they can observe the bustling activity within the workspace without disrupting our staff, creating a perfect balance between transparency and privacy. 

At the core of our design objective was the aspiration to create a refreshing and inspiring space, serving as a showcase of our company's expertise. We explored innovative materials and unique specifications, pushing boundaries while avoiding overpowering colours. The focus was on crafting an environment that captivates attention through intriguing design elements rather than overwhelming hues, resulting in a captivating space that serves as a testament to our ability to harmonise aesthetics with functionality. 

Each meeting room was designed to possess its own distinct personality, reflected in a key colour scheme. As you step into the first meeting room, right by the entrance door, a welcoming aura envelops you. The soft seating in gentle pink hues creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, setting the stage for productive and collaborative gatherings. 

Overlooking the iconic London Bridge, the boardroom creates a compelling image of a sophisticated and professional space, perfectly suited for important meetings. The key colour scheme of muted purple and grey makes it a conducive environment for meaningful discussions and decision-making sessions. 

For a more playful atmosphere, the lounge has been designed as a completely different setting, reminiscent of a trendy hotel lobby or a vibrant members club. Adorned with a tropical jungle wallpaper with subtle monkey motifs, this space invites tranquillity, offering a serene retreat within the office, like a refreshing oasis. The inviting ambiance is further enhanced by the carefully selected furniture, that exude comfort and style, creating a sense of being cocooned in a relaxing haven.
