that the interior should not distract from what lies outside the windows but feel at one with the skyline. Tis defined how the space was split into different activity zones, how we orientated seating and also set the colour palette.’ Te multidimensional pattern of Cubix from Karndean’s Kaleidoscope range has been created with three shades of grey from the Opus range: Mico, Luna and Ombra. Te aim was to utilise these geometric lines to bring the co-working area to life, introducing interest and depth to balance the clean angles of the bold contemporary building.
Sitting alongside this working zone, Quebec from the Karndean LooseLay range has been used to create a restful seating area and walkway to the board room at the rear of the mezzanine. Opting for extra-large scale tiles (1,000×1,000mm) in a block pattern has resulted in a realistic poured concrete effect.
With sustainability a key priority, many of the existing features were repurposed and upcycled within the new

design. Te large back bar has been remodelled as a kitchenette, painted in charcoal grey to harmonise with the black industrial staircase, while some of the lighting has been reused and other joinery reinvented within co-working stations. Te durability of the flooring is integral to meeting the project’s sustainability targets too. Using a loose lay format along the main walkway, where wear and tear is heaviest, is an effective strategy as each tile can be relifted and replaced if necessary, reducing waste over the lifespan of the interior.
Turner added: ‘Te floor was the key element for the mezzanine level. We are delighted how the Cubix introduces a sense of fun and breaks up the huge floor space with an interesting pattern yet also links together all the elements of the colour palette without overpowering the overall effect. Te mezzanine floor now feels comfortable despite being a large open area and, the more time you spend there, the calmer and more positive you feel.’
