A 4,400 sq ft Primed suite designed to give tenants a reason to choose Prologue
When Telereal Trillium Group acquired Prologue Works in Bristol, the brief to Interaction was to give the market some variety, creating a floor that was different from the existing spaces in the building.
TTG gave Interaction a simple brief for the 3rd floor:
“Do what you think works.”
So we did. But not in isolation.
We created a 4,400 sq ft Primed suite that gave the building a bright, flexible and tenant-ready workspace. The aim was not to copy existing floors, but to broaden the asset’s appeal.
TTG gave us the freedom to design what we thought would work; the first thing we did was listen to the market. The suite was designed for Day 1 impact and Day 2 flexibility

The challenge
Adapting quickly
The building needed a fitted suite that felt light, warm and market-ready (without becoming too niche).
There were a few practical challenges too. The slab floor meant trunking had to be dug out. The ceiling was low, with a lot of visible conduit and exposed services. The floorplate also had plenty of hard surfaces, which made acoustics a key consideration.
The commercial challenge was just as important: create a space that local agents could confidently show, that prospective tenants could imagine themselves moving into, and that TTG could adapt quickly when a tenant wanted changes.
That is exactly where Primed works best: a plug-and-play framework that reduces voids, improves ERV and accelerates leasing, particularly for sub-5,000 sq ft suites and smaller floors.
The Primed Approach
Easy to occupy
Rather than designing in a vacuum, we worked closely with local property agents to understand what they were seeing in the Bristol market.
Their feedback shaped the colour palette, layout, look and feel. That gave TTG more confidence that the finished suite would not just look good in photographs: it would work in viewings.
We brought in shades of orange from the wider building, then softened them with darker terracottas, greens, neutral finishes and carefully chosen prints. The result is calm, warm and commercial, with enough character to be memorable.
Styling was treated as part of the product, not a finishing touch. The furniture, artwork, planting and accessories help tenants understand how the space could feel on day one. That matters because a tenant-ready suite has to remove friction from the decision. It needs to feel easy to occupy.
Easy leasing
Designing for day 2
The suite was planned with future tenant changes in mind.
We deliberately moved meeting rooms to the opposite side of the floorplate compared with other floors. We also designed the space so tenants can add pods, booths or extra enclosed rooms later without unnecessary cost or disruption. AC and mechanical kit were planned to stay accessible in the places where new walls may go up, making future alterations quicker and more cost-effective.
For an owner, that matters. It means the suite can respond to tenant requirements without becoming a fresh mini-project every time a serious enquiry comes in.
Design Features
Details that matter.
The exposed ceiling was lightened to make the floorplate feel brighter and more open. Because ceiling height was limited and there was already a lot of conduit, we used chain pendant lighting fed from a single point, reducing visual clutter while adding warmth over the breakout setting.
Acoustics were built into the design rather than treated as an afterthought. Instead of simply adding panels over the top, acoustic treatment became part of the décor, integrated into the wall detailing and finishes.
All furniture came from British suppliers, supporting the project’s quality, sustainability and supply-chain story.
The result
A stronger leasing story
In six weeks, TTG had a bright, flexible and marketable 4,400 sq ft Primed suite.
The finished space gives Prologue Works a strong leasing story: a fitted floor that feels ready to occupy, but still easy to adapt. It offers prospective tenants a contemporary alternative to other floors, helping agents keep conversations alive when occupiers have different tastes, team structures or working patterns.
For TTG, the value is not just the finished fit-out. It is the increased flexibility of the asset, the stronger first impression in viewings and the ability to make fast, cost-effective changes once a tenant shows interest.
That is the point of Primed. Not just a fitted suite: a leasing tool.
