Your grandma would be impressed with this office, whilst her great grand-daughter would think it was uber cool without being so fashionable that it would soon date. The space feels healthy, honest and frugal.


As a workspace that thrives on welcoming clients in, Octopus and LightSource (a company which Octopus invests in) needed a lively, flexible space that would drive socialising. Our team made sure to base the design around delivering a welcoming and unique working environment that would ooze character and keep things running smoothly in busy communal areas.


A large swathe of the HQ is dedicated to facilitating collaborative thinking between Octopus, their clients and their partners. The client space allows visitors and staff to move freely through the space without the restriction of security barriers. To ease communication and promote flexible working we designed a number of informal meeting areas with a huge island unit at the heart of the client hub where everybody can gather around for a quick chat over a cup of tea.
