It’s been a pleasure working with another brilliant post-production client over the past few months. Wash's new office and editing suites at Bermondsey Exchange are a perfect blend of elegance and style. This turnkey project was a true collaboration, with our team fully aligned with the client’s vision from day one; resulting in a cohesive, beautifully executed space that’s a genuine reflection of their identity.

It was an absolute pleasure to design and build the stunning new office space for Edward Charles & Partners. Tucked away in Grotto’s Passage, a hidden walkway between shops and houses on Paddington Street, the location is easy to miss but opens onto a courtyard full of history. Edward Charles & Partners wanted to create a warm, welcoming environment where they could host clients, gather as a team, and socialise. This vision shaped the design, resulting in a space with a strong residential influence. A key part of this was the desire to prepare and share meals together, so we designed a large dining area and expanded the existing tea point with a generous worktop and additional storage. Bespoke joinery was fitted throughout, providing plenty of functional storage while allowing space to showcase artwork and ornaments. One of the most striking features is the glazed ceiling, built into a void between the ground and first floors. This allows natural light from the first-floor skylights to filter into the ground-floor meeting space while maintaining sound privacy. The result is a beautifully crafted workspace that balances comfort, functionality, and style. We’re incredibly proud to have brought this vision to life.

It’s been a while since we asked you to “Watch this Space,”. Now it’s time to shed some (gorgeous natural) light on the current project at Hambledon Wine Estate and give you an update of the story so far. The start of 2025 saw the completion of “The Restaurant”, a part of the visitors centre and set in large Green Oak barns. Bespoke furniture and moveable retail units sit alongside gorgeous soft wood interiors, with huge windows framing the vineyard views. A full reveal of the whole project will be coming in the following weeks and we can’t wait for you to see it, it’s an absolute beauty!

The way businesses create their new workspaces has evolved. Whilst working with project managers, cost consultants and other professional teams have their advantages, for some businesses, engaging with a design & build firm will simplify the journey, reduce costs, and can speed up delivery: Working directly with us means: - Cost clarity from day one, fewer layers mean fewer unexpected fees. - You get an EC1 superstar overseeing design, build and delivery. - With design and construction under one roof, we can achieve a faster project turnaround. - Seamless communication, with no multiple parties or conflicting priorities. - Full accountability; no handovers between different firms, just one dedicated team. - Creative flexibility is easier when direct collaboration means ideas can be refined in real time. - A stress-free (or at least less stressful) experience - we simplify every step so you can focus on running your business. At EC1, we thrive in both models, but we know that for many businesses, a direct approach is the most efficient way to achieve a stunning new workspace. Which approach is right for your business? Let’s chat.
