Intentionally featuring brands that the studio has specified for past and upcoming projects, the multilayered design scheme showcases premium products, many of which are locally sourced to infuse the studio with a strong sense of place and authenticity.
In addition to its fully ergonomic workstations, open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of Glasgow’s cityscape, the space features a range of cosy breakout zones, including a hands-on design library, and two private meeting rooms. Thoughtfully curated accent areas showcase sculptural lighting installations, while an open kitchen doubles as a versatile presentation space, fostering both creativity and collaboration.
