Our brief was to create a work environment that would be versatile and appealing as a shared space. The original space had been rented by one business for 50 years and not a lot had been touched or remodelled in that time. The 100sqm office floor was a labyrinth of small dark offices and musty old carpet - but with great windows and opportunity for light. Our design intent was to create an open plan work environment with workspace layouts that could accommodate a number of businesses. The existing kitchen and bathrooms had a simple make-over to create modern and contemporary facilities, while the office space was gutted with all new hard surfaces - durable carpet, plywood panelling on walls and ceiling panels. Acoustic panels played a crucial role in the re-purposed meeting rooms to ensure privacy was maintained. Our favourite space - the dramatic wallpaper and deep green walls that form the entrance.

at.space's ethos is that design is more than just pure creativity - it is considered, functional, and precise, as well as beautiful. We create spaces to live in, not just to admire, and our clients are at the centre of this process.
at.space was launched in 2019 by Alex McLeod and Tomi Williams. Working alongside each other as friends and colleagues for 8 years, we have realised the greatness of two minds over one, when creating beautiful spaces that work and matter for our clients. Combining forces was an opportunity for us to grow and continue to provide well-considered and debated design solutions. Or simply put; more depth, more capacity, more creativity and double the passion, for every project we touch."
Our experience designing interior spaces for large-scale renovations, new builds and commercial spaces spans over 20 years. Our growing team includes Kirsty Coultier (Studio Project Manager), Tori Gibbs and Victoria Gaylard (Project Support and CAD team).
