Description

The Distillery is a coworking space for Glasgow’s creative community. It’s been designed to suit the evolving working styles of freelancers, start-ups and people who require flexible workspace. There’s a mix of hot desks, fixed desks, break-out areas and meeting rooms.

 

In 2013 we were contracted to oversee the design of workspace and communications, as well as develop the business model.

 

On the design and fit-out of the space we worked closely with Glasgow-based designers and makers to create a space that reflects the audience it supports – all of the furniture and fittings are bespoke and fabricated locally.
