We visited site this week to see the finishing touches being applied to the Canada Water Leisure Centre project before it is handed over to London Borough of Southwark. We have been involved with the project from the very beginning, firstly supporting Southwark Council in the early designs and then working with Mace Construction in delivering the technical designs to completion.   This is a unique project for us to be involved in, as the majority of the the Leisure Centre is located in the basement levels of the building. A generous glazed lobby and striking canopy gives access to the foyer and reception which provides a welcoming space for members and visitors. From the foyer space, views are provided via glazed screens into the Fitness Gym and down into the Main Pool and and Sports Hall in the lower basement levels below. The new Leisure Centre with provide London Borough of Southwark with the highest quality Leisure Centre facilities such as Main and Learner pools, Sports Hall, Fitness Gym, Studios, dedicated Spinning Studio and dedicated dry and wet changing facilities.   Congratulations to all involved in the project, it has been a privilege to collaborate alongside British Land, Mace, Allies and Morrison, Waterman Group and AECOM to deliver this amazing project.  

Our interior team are accomplished designers, experts in transforming spaces that feel right, showcase your brand and enhance the overall experience. All our designs are perfectly balanced between budget, practicality and quality, all while ensuring a strong sense of character. When it came to our own office refurbishment back in 2022, we were able to apply this approach first hand within the historic Carriage Building. Our update in branding and logos coincided with the refurbishment of our office, and much of the design inspiration came from this. We focused on adding depth and blending natural chic with industrial elements to enhance the building’s unique features - exposed Victorian steels, old brickwork, and large industrial windows. The colours chosen complemented our new branding and provided the depth needed for the vast spaces, while the oak tones introduced warmth and contrast to the blue and green hues, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. This office transformation is now more than just a workspace - it’s a tangible representation of our commitment to thoughtful, impactful design that not only works but inspires.
