Well before companies like WeWork and
Industrious popularized design-driven, amenitypacked co-working spaces, Charlie Green
and Olly Olsen observed and anticipated global
work patterns, and "set out to challenge the very
corporate and stale serviced office product,"
according to Green. Together they founded
London-based workplace brand The Office Group
in 2003 with the goal of providing beautiful and
inspired community-like offices for companies
of every size. "We've always been driven by creating
spaces that smaller businesses and individuals
can operate from and call their own," explains Green,
"and to work in a way that only larger corporations
had previously been able to offer."
Fifteen years later, this concept of sharing
well-appointed workspaces is ubiquitous in most
metropolitan cities around the world. Many offer
posh or edgy design that highlights regional context,
fosters socialization between tenants, and provides
flexibility as tenants' needs change. But what sets
The Office Group (TOG) apart from the rest is its
curatorial approach to selecting locations: Green
and Olsen look not only at the space and neighborhood potential, but also the bones and heritage
of the site-and how these can inform the design
scheme. Such was the case with Tintagel House,
the largest TOG location to date.
Extending the footprint
Situated on the River Thames in London's
Vauxhall district, the 1960-erected building boasted
skyline and river views, ample daylight, and an
intact structure. But it also had a tantalizing past
as the former home of the Metropolitan Police-
most notably a branch of the Serious and Organised
Crime Command-many interrogation cells,
and the nation's first police computer. The history
played a major role in the interiors by Universal
Design Studio. But first, some architectural
issues had to be addressed to accommodate
the client's mandates. Typically attracting workers
from creative, media, and digital industries,
but also the occasional corporate firm, TOG
required varying levels of privacy and openness,
from open-plan co-working zones and shared
hospitality spaces to quiet work corners
and private offices.
Architecture firm Stanton Williams gutted
the 12-story building back to its bones-retaining
much of the original windows and parquet floors-
and oversaw two substantial interventions
