Case studies
Bristol work we’re proud of.
Discover how our office design consultants helped these Bristol businesses get more from their space
Born in Bristol
Building everywhere
Interaction started working in Bristol over 30 years ago. Since then, we’ve helped some of the city’s most ambitious businesses create workplaces that support their people, sharpen their culture and make the office worth the commute.
From high-growth tech teams and professional services firms to legal, aerospace and creative businesses, we design and build Bristol offices that work harder; for your people, your clients and your business.
Whether you’re moving, refurbishing, rightsizing or rethinking how your teams use the office, our Bristol team can help you shape the brief, build the case and deliver the space at pace.
Your Bristol team
Local knowledge. National delivery. People you can actually get hold of.
A successful office project needs more than a good idea. It needs fast answers, calm project management and a team that understands how Bristol businesses work.
Our Bristol team brings workplace strategy, design, pre-contracts, delivery, sustainability and client care together from the start. That means fewer handovers, clearer decisions and a smoother route from first brief to first day in the new space.
You’ll work with people who know the city, know the buildings and know how to keep a project moving (without losing the detail that makes the space feel like yours).
Fast early-stage advice
Lease event coming up? Space not working? Team struggling with hybrid? We’ll help you work out what needs to change before you commit to a route.
Design that starts with your people
We look at how your teams work, meet, focus, host clients and collaborate then design around the behaviours your workplace needs to support.
Delivery without the drama
Our job is to keep your programme clear, your stakeholders aligned and your project moving at pace.
Aftercare that stays close
Once the space is live, our client care team is there for the tweaks, changes and follow-on works that keep your workplace performing.
Bristol is a special market for us because it’s where so much of our story began. We’ve grown up alongside the city’s businesses, buildings and brilliant people, and we feel a real responsibility to help shape workplaces here that do Bristol justice.
For us, every Bristol project is personal.

Some of our recent Bristol projects
Osborne Clarke
We created an ultra-sustainable, wellbeing-focused destination workplace for Bristol’s lawyers. Spread over five floors and 74,000 sqft, this project won a National British Council for Offices award.
Immersive Labs
When Immersive Labs received significant investment it became apparent that their current home in a co-working space couldn’t house their ambitions.
VWV
VWV asked us to refresh their Bristol office to better reflect the firm’s friendly, approachable culture. The result is a calm, contemporary workplace that feels professional without being overly corporate.
Amdaris
Amdaris needed a high-end space that positioned them firmly as one of the UK’s brightest and boldest software companies.
IOPP
A workplace fit for a very different future for the Institute of Physics Publishing.

A chic and luxurious look for one of the UK’s leading property agents.
Building Bristol: a history
30+ years. 100+ projects. One city that shaped us.
Bristol workplace knowledge
We understand the city’s buildings, business districts and talent market , from central Bristol to North Bristol and beyond.
Proven across sectors
Legal, tech, aerospace, creative, professional services and more – we’ve delivered workplaces for the kinds of businesses that shape Bristol’s economy.
Built for real working life
Hybrid meetings, focus work, client hosting, culture, wellbeing and future growth; we design around what your teams actually need from the office.
Perfection at Pace: proven in Bristol
Office projects are full of pressure: lease dates, board expectations, budget decisions, stakeholder opinions and a team waiting to move in.
That’s where we do our best work.
Our Bristol projects show what Perfection at Pace really means – clear communication, practical problem-solving, careful detail and a team that keeps momentum without cutting corners.
For occupiers, that means less disruption, fewer surprises and a workplace that is ready when your people need it.

Small changes, future phases and post-handover support from a team that already knows your space.
Is your Bristol office still working?
Most businesses don’t wake up one day needing a fit-out. The signs build slowly.
Your team has changed. Your meetings have changed. Your clients expect more. Your office is either too big, too small, too quiet, too noisy, or simply not doing enough to justify the cost.
If that sounds familiar, we can help you work out whether to move, refurbish, resize or rethink the space you already have.
Maybe:
- Your lease event is approaching
- Your people are not using the office as expected
- Your space no longer reflects your brand or culture
- Hybrid meetings aren’t working properly
- Your client areas feel tired
- Teams are struggling with focus, acoustics or collaboration
- You need to attract or retain talent in a competitive Bristol market
- You want to improve sustainability without starting from scratch
Bristol office design and fit-outs: FAQs
How much does an office fit-out in Bristol cost?
Costs vary depending on size, specification, building condition, furniture, technology and how much existing material can be reused. As a broad guide, a mid-spec regional CAT B fit-out often sits somewhere around £70–£120 per sq ft, but the right budget should come from your brief, not a generic benchmark.
How long does a Bristol office fit-out take?
Smaller refurbishments can take a few weeks. Larger CAT B projects can take several months from strategy and design through to delivery. The biggest factors are project size, landlord approvals, procurement, building condition, sustainability requirements and how quickly decisions can be made.
Can you help before we have chosen a building?
Yes. Early advice can help you compare buildings properly, spot hidden risks, test whether the space supports your ways of working and avoid committing to a floorplate that fights your brief.
Do you only work in Bristol?
No. Interaction started in Bristol and has delivered projects across the UK.
Can you refurbish our existing office while we remain in occupation?
Often, yes. It depends on the building, the level of work and how your teams use the space. We can advise on phasing, temporary moves, disruption planning and safe delivery.
Do you help with sustainability?
Yes. Interaction is B Corp certified, aligns projects with SKA good practice and has experience with BREEAM, WELL and similar schemes. Sustainability should be built into choices about reuse, materials, waste, carbon, wellbeing and long-term performance.
