GEORGE STREET

The creative agency One Black Bear, purchased a neglected industrial workshop in the Jewellery Quarter, for it to become their new office headquarters. The existing ground floor was consumed by an oddly placed stair, and the first floor made disfunctional by a low level truss. The offenders were evicted, floors removed, and walls stripped back to brick to provide a ‘fierce’ redfurbishment. The space was re-organised to be more efficient and flexible, oozing with character, natural light and connectivity across the floors.

Key collaborators were interior designer Katherine Rouendaal, lighting designers Studio EG, development managers/main contractor Vantage & Co, and of course a perfectly engaged client One Black Bear!
