Freshly opened in Clerkenwell, Thirdway`s new headquarters poses an interesting question...⁠
⁠
If you`re designing workplaces for other people, what should your own office say about you?⁠
⁠
For Thirdway, the answer was to create a headquarters that reflects the way the business works today, bringing together architecture, interiors, branding, furniture and technology under one roof.⁠
⁠
Designed around the idea of a `home for the office`, the space balances collaboration, creativity and wellbeing, while acting as a living showcase of Thirdway`s multidisciplinary approach to workplace design.⁠
⁠
When designers become their own client, every decision carries a little more weight and the result offers an inspiring insight into how today`s workplace is evolving.⁠

What does it really take to create a retail space people want to spend time in?⁠
⁠
In our exclusive interview, Tabitha Isobel takes us behind the design of LESTRANGE`s The Apartment, sharing how the original brief shaped every decision, from the layout and lighting to the vintage furniture and hospitality-inspired experience.⁠
⁠
Rather than talking about aesthetics alone, Tabitha offers an honest insight into the thinking behind the project, exploring how great retail design is about creating an atmosphere that makes people feel welcome.⁠
⁠
It`s a fascinating conversation about restraint, materiality, customer experience and the role physical retail continues to play in an increasingly digital world.⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to Tabitha for sharing the story behind the project and the design decisions that brought the brief to life.⁠

We`re talking more than ever about retaining experienced talent. But are our workplaces keeping pace?⁠
⁠
As people work later in life, workplace design needs to support a wider range of mobility, strength and accessibility requirements. Yet one of the most frequently used spaces in any commercial building, the washroom, is often overlooked until compliance becomes an issue.⁠
⁠
Fitzroy of London is encouraging designers, developers and commercial property owners to see accessibility as a long-term investment, not a reactive measure. Thoughtful design decisions made at the specification stage can help create workplaces that are more inclusive, more adaptable and better equipped for the workforce of tomorrow.⁠
⁠
Perhaps it`s time we stopped thinking about accessibility as a specialist requirement and started seeing it as good workplace design.⁠
