"We are looking to create spaces that are wonderful, exciting, and inspiring places, where people want to be." For the Iconic Offices workspace at The Lennox Building, the brief was clear: create a unique environment that differentiates them from their competitors through a luxury, boutique hospitality feel. This vision demanded a new approach to materiality - pushing us to reimagine how materials are positioned and used to deliver intricate, human-centric design. At MCA, we balance wonder and rigour in workplace design, crafting spaces that are as inspiring as they are functional.
