Ben Johnson tendered and subsequently won the fit-out and furniture package for Parabola’s new office in Newcastle working alongside property agent Cushmond & Wakefield. The brief was to create a streamlined office with accents of bold colour.
The client required the storage to be contained within one bespoke unit, away from the natural light whilst exploiting space available through the high ceiling.
The angular geometry of the space guided the layout, determining the optimal positions for desks, soft seating, and storage. Bespoke joinery was designed and manufactured to meet specific storage needs while fitting seamlessly into the angular footprint. A new air-conditioning system was installed throughout, with feature lighting and acoustic rafts added in key areas to enhance comfort and functionality.
A contemporary design approach aligned with the company’s branding, incorporating bold accents such as red pedestals and a statement light fitting visible from the main road. The modern aesthetic was further enriched with a curated display of contemporary artwork, completing a cohesive and visually engaging interior.
