Not content with a conventional and commercial office, the practice sought to transform the space into a fresh and [creative work area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office). The architects were inspired by a [factory aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mana), cladding the walls in industrial strength ropes and criss-cross ceilings. Bare lightbulbs hang from frayed fisherman knots to enhance the overall industrial effect. The space is clean, modern and rejuvenating; it's easy to see how it fosters imagination and creativity, qualities which are incredibly necessary in the studio's profession. I can only imagine that coming to work must be a real pleasure for these lucky architects.
