Projects Office produces innovative and considered architectural designs, spatial strategies and engagement processes with and for the people who use them.
Our projects include inclusive interventions in the public realm, co-designed spaces for NHS mental health services, and inventive office designs for ambitious start-ups. Our portfolio, which also includes designs for homes, exhibitions and hospitality, is united by a focus on conversations and co-creation, as well as careful use of resources, commitment to deliverability, and an enduring sense of playfulness.
With research, strategy and communications expertise in house, we are able to provide a full design package: from community engagement, to architectural design and delivery, to brand identities and storytelling. We work closely with clients and end users to understand their needs and aspirations, identify unconventional solutions, and deliver beautiful spaces.
+ We embrace big ideas, even for small projects.
+ We’re fearlessly design-led and resolutely people focussed.
+ We make good work: good for places, good for people and good for the planet
Our current projects include: a new build community and education centre in Croydon, public realm improvements in Wandsworth, and a workspace campus on the fringes of the City of London.
“I can’t recommend Projects Office highly enough. They set out a really clear process for us in terms of what to expect when, timescales and costs. They were the first people we met that we felt would really help us build the office we wanted and that fitted our culture. No matter how difficult we made it for them, with tight budgets and timescales and many late requests, they always worked hard to make it work.”
“From the outset, it was clear that the team at Projects Office had a clear understanding of what I wanted to achieve, and the expertise to deliver the fit-out of our first coffee bar to an extremely high standard. We now have a unique space, that’s a joy to work in, and every day, we have customers telling us how much they love the design.”
“The spaces have been designed with real thought to ensure that they can not only facilitate first-class patient care, but will help to put our patients and their families at ease. We are delighted to have worked with Projects Office in designing this incredible space and are grateful to Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity for their continued funding and support.”
