Journal

Working in the Creative Sector, we rely heavily on our environment and the people around us for inspiration. When it came to the layout of our studio we wanted to avoid an enclosed space and to reflect our team's personality and style. It was important that our workspace was a combination of what each individual wanted. This resulted in an open plan design with the creative studio at one end and the photography studio at the other, where each of the team can communicate with each other in a relaxed space which is an adaptable for our team as well as welcoming clients.
