The top floor of a landmark Bristol commercial building has been transformed into an ultra-flexible office scheme complete with movable features so occupiers can turn up, plug in and get to work straight away.
London-based real estate investment firm EPIC commissioned workplace design-and-build company Interaction to turn the space in its Linear Park building at Temple Quay, pictured, into a fully adaptable modern workspace for new tenants.
As a result, the 8,000 sq ft office provides a range of working areas and meeting rooms for different working styles, including open-plan desks and private booths for more focused activities.
It also features a movable central metal divide, which creates an area that can be used as a tea-point, breakout area or informal meeting space and encouraging a sense of community and collaboration among tenants.
In addition, strategically placed walls mean future occupiers will be able to leave the workspace open plan or add more partitions.
The project is the latest quality pre-fitted workspace in Bristol designed by Bath-headquartered Interaction as part of its Primed programme, which helps landlords, serviced office providers and co-working operators attract top tenants.
Launched last summer, the fast-turnaround service includes quality pre-fitted workspaces and ‘rentalised’ design options to help landlords.
It has already been used in the new Distillery office development in the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, not far from Linear Park.
Interaction managing director Dieter Wood, pictured, said: “Linear Park is one of Bristol’s landmark office buildings, so when we were asked to create a modern, new occupier-ready workspace on behalf of landlords EPIC, we leapt at the chance.
“Flexibility is key when attracting future tenants who may have different needs and ways of working.
“Our innovative design allows them to configure the space to suit their specific requirements.
“The fit-out has been styled minimally to ensure the space is beautiful without giving it its own distinct personality. This means it’s ready for a tenant to make it their own.”
Interaction, which recently gained B Corp recognition while also relocating its Bath HQ into a new, state-of-the-art office with modern facilities for up to 70 staff, has a strong track record in Bristol.
Its recent major projects in the city include new offices for rapid-growth specialist software firm Amdaris and international law firm Osborne Clarke as well as GKN Aerospace’s Global Technology Centre in Filton.
