  • Creating a Future-Focused Workspace for Preston Turnbull

    London EC3 / Legal Firms / 10,000 sq ft / 12 weeks

  • A workspace designed for growth

    Preston Turnbull’s relocation was prompted by their vision for a workspace that could seamlessly support their team’s evolving needs and client-focused operations. Initially considering multiple options and configurations, including staying in their original building, the team ultimately decided to make the move to the Grade A office space at Walsingham House. The decision balanced their operational requirements with their aspirations for a premium, functional workspace.

  • A dual-purpose design

    Spanning two floors, the new space separates core functions to maximise efficiency. The second floor, predominantly a working area, is equipped with agile workspaces, collaboration zones, private phone booths, a wellness room, and a tea point to encourage team interaction.

    The ninth floor houses a client suite designed for versatility, featuring meeting rooms with folding walls that transform into an event space accommodating up to 100 people. A multifunctional reception area doubles as a drinks station, making the space suitable for both formal meetings and entertaining guests.

  • Reflecting the brand through design

    To ensure the new office represented Preston Turnbull’s distinction, we worked closely with the client to incorporate their brand and enhance elements from their previous workspace. Artwork inspired by shipping and water was carefully selected to complement the company’s industry ties, creating a space that feels both personal and professional. High-quality finishes elevate the design, offering a polished and cohesive aesthetic across both floors.

  • “We focused on creating a workspace that balances functionality with a sense of identity – highlighting Preston Turnbull’s brand while allowing the space to feel inviting and adaptable.”

  • Sustainability and wellbeing

    Sustainability was a key focus, with much of Preston Turnbull’s existing furniture being reused and reupholstered to minimise waste. Biophilic elements, such as carefully integrated planting installations supported by a maintenance contract, bring a sense of nature into the space.

    Designed with employee wellbeing in mind, the office includes a wellness room, private phone booths, and breakout areas to provide diverse settings for relaxation, collaboration, and focus.

  • A workspace for today and tomorrow

    Preston Turnbull’s new space has been designed as a foundation for their future. With adaptability at its core, the workspace not only meets their current needs but also provides the flexibility to evolve alongside the business. From agile layout to private spaces, every detail was crafted to support a thriving, forward-focused team.
