Inspired Spaces North 2018 – Inside the shortlisted entries (part 1)

Inspired Space 1: Absolute Commercial Interiors Ltd, Wetherby

They say: “The new office layout has helped increase productivity across a range of many different work areas and functions. In addition, a large break-out and kitchen area with comfy sofas, tuck shop, Prosecco fridge, TV and X-Box gives employees the opportunity to take time out away from their desks whilst reducing stress and improving productivity.”

Inspired Space 2: Buffalo 7, Manchester

They say: “The space is so inspiring because it’s a perfect reflection of who we are as a business. It’s warm and inviting. It’s fun, yet mature, and it’s heavily focused on collaboration.” 

Inspired Space 3: Citypress, Manchester

They say: “We’re clearly biased but our new office is the best communications agency HQ in the North. It has a 20ft vaulted ceiling, a 15 metre bar, open-plan theatre and lots of flexible working areas and meeting spaces.” 

Inspired Space 4: Colony Coworking

They say: “Colony Coworking space is an incredibly beautiful workspace, the attention to detail is astounding and you’ll find it difficult not to be inspired whilst spending time in there.”
