A sophisticated new look for Runway East

This London site marked our 14th collaboration with Runway East, building on an established design language while introducing a more refined aesthetic.

The building itself is relatively understated from the outside, so the design places emphasis on the arrival experience. A bold reception desk creates a strong first impression and gives the space a clear identity from the moment you step inside.

The interior draws on Bauhaus and mid-century influences, celebrating the building’s raw architectural features such as exposed concrete and structural elements. These are balanced with a softer palette and carefully selected finishes to create a more considered overall feel.

Colour is used with intent throughout, adding contrast and interest without overwhelming the space. Communal areas provide opportunities for interaction, with a top-floor breakout space acting as a focal point within the building.

Ten years in and we’re pretty used to working with Interaction by now! Their designs consistently bring our spaces to life, and I’m always blown away by how the finished product looks and feels. It’s been great working with Lucy and the team on 150 Borough High Street as we continue to cement our position as one of London’s leading office space providers.

Design Features

This new workspace is all about the mid-century modern design details – from the furniture choices to the artwork. The Bauhaus-inspired pieces inject personality and energy throughout each office. These prints actually inspired much of the overall design, giving the space a cohesive feel. Elsewhere, the sustainable, made-in-Britain wood terrazzo provides the perfect teapoint splashback.
