Office fit-out and interior design in London

New Makers Bureau is an RIBA Chartered architecture practice in south London, and we design office fit-outs and workplace interiors across the city. Now that people can work from anywhere, an office has to give them a reason to come in, so we design workplaces that bring people joy and design them around how people actually want to work.

How we approach an office fit-out

Every project starts with behaviour instead of headcount, because the way a team focuses, meets and socialises should decide the layout before anyone counts desks. We let daylight shape the plan by putting the busiest spaces near the windows, and we treat acoustics as part of the design so open areas stay comfortable. Warm, honest materials, reused wherever we can, give a workplace character and help it tread more lightly on the earth.

Cat A, Cat B and getting the budget right

We check the landlord’s Cat A condition before you sign a lease and test it against what your Cat B fit-out needs. Old services or a shallow ceiling void can eat into a budget, so it is a check worth making early. From there, we take the design through building control, tender and site and work alongside the contractor until handover.

If you are taking on new office space or rethinking the one you have, we would be glad to talk it through with you. You can also read our guides to office fit-out costs, Cat A and Cat B fit-out and office design, or see our café, gym and residential interiors work.
