At Copper & Ash, our designers are experts in what we like to call “Happyplace Design” – modern co-working design that people want to spend time in. We understand that co-working space interior design is crucial for creating functional spaces that your clients love to be in and that help them achieve more.
We design co-working spaces that provide everything a nomadic worker needs to be productive, energised, and comfortable. We collaborate closely with co-working venue providers to understand their desired space and cultural goals while staying abreast of the latest co-working space design trends.
We pay careful attention to selecting the right products and materials to avoid costly replacements. Our services cover co-working office design, space planning, custom furniture and lighting design, overseeing manufacturing, and full fit-out. We also offer assistance with brand development if needed.
Our established office design process has been shaped by over 20 years of experience in handling significant projects for prominent brands. We provide expert guidance throughout the entire journey, from concept to completion, to save time and resources. Leveraging our extensive expertise, we efficiently source, specify, and procure all necessary elements such as furniture, lighting, bespoke joinery, signage, and planting, turning a project from concept to reality. We appreciate the ambitious and bold nature of our clients, enabling us to fully dedicate ourselves to their journey and bring their vision to life.

A well-designed co-working space prioritises flexibility, collaboration, and community over the traditional office setup. Unlike a standard office, a co-working space must cater to diverse users, offering a mix of private areas, open desks, meeting rooms, and social spaces. At Copper & Ash, we focus on creating spaces that feel inclusive, inspiring, and practical, providing everything needed for a productive day—whether members are there for a few hours or the entire week.
A thoughtfully designed co-working space directly influences member satisfaction and retention. By providing ergonomic furniture, natural lighting, private nooks, and social spaces, you create a workplace where members feel comfortable and motivated. At Copper & Ash, we consider every detail, from the layout to the amenities, to ensure users have a balanced experience that supports their professional needs and enhances their wellbeing. Happy members are more likely to stay, recommend the space to others, and contribute to a vibrant community.
Community is at the heart of every co-working space, and design plays a key role in fostering it. We incorporate shared lounges, social areas, and inviting kitchens to encourage spontaneous interactions and connections. Our design approach includes creating visual cohesion and comfort across all areas, from open desks to breakout zones, so members feel they belong. We also add custom touches that reflect the local culture and brand personality, making the space feel welcoming and unique.
While co-working spaces thrive on openness, private spaces are essential for focus, privacy, and productivity. At Copper & Ash, we design a balanced mix of open and closed spaces—such as phone booths, small offices, and meeting rooms—to accommodate different working styles and tasks. These private areas provide the quiet and seclusion needed for calls, deep work, or private meetings, ensuring that members have the right setting for every type of workday.
Sustainability is a priority in today’s design world, and we work to create environmentally friendly, long-lasting spaces. Our approach includes sourcing sustainable materials, opting for energy-efficient lighting, and selecting low-impact products that don’t compromise on quality. We design for durability and easy maintenance, reducing the need for frequent replacements. By prioritising sustainability, we help you create a space that’s not only beautiful and functional but also responsible and resilient.
Our process for designing co-working spaces is structured but adaptable. In the Define phase, we work with you to create a brief and establish a vision that suits your members’ needs and the brand identity. During Design, we develop concept layouts, 3D visualisations, and sample boards to bring the space to life. In the Develop stage, we finalise technical drawings, construction details, and project specifications. Finally, in Deliver, we manage everything from contractor coordination to quality checks, ensuring that your co-working space is ready to welcome members.
