When searching for a new London office space, IA Interior Architects knew they wanted one that could inspire creativity and innovation, support their work and their wellbeing. They wanted a space that promoted collaboration and social interaction –experiences that are created in-person – but still managed to maintain the comfort, nurturing and welcoming feeling of home.
Harella House, a 1930’s warehouse and former clothing factory in London’s Clerkenwell, had undergone a sympathetic refurbishment by Architects Piercy & Company to reveal the building’s history – managing to reduce carbon emissions by 47% and achieve a BREEAM rating of Excellent.
The 4th floor with its open floor plate, pitched timber ceiling, glazing along all 4-sides, mezzanine and terrace running the full length of the studio provided IA with a beautiful backdrop of natural light and materials from which to create their new home.
