Ant Duckworth2025-02-11 Matt, Kayleigh and the team have been instrumental in bringing Dear Coco's coffee bar strategy to life. We needed an agency partner capable of lateral, innovative thinking with a can-do attitude and we found it in Copper & Ash. The quality of creative thinking, problem-solving and final output is second to none. Their project management is amongst best-in-class. The team's work has allowed us to secure flagship coffee industry and real estate partnerships, they're a critical growth partner for us. Thank you team, Ant & Sam @ Dear Coco Coffee Z B2024-09-17 Matt and the team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. This includes everything from communication, going through each stage to the final presentation. Overall, as a company we cant sing their praises enough! Bill Sunner2023-12-05 Been using copper and ash for 12 months now, i would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for design work. Matt and Kayleigh true professionals, nothing is to much to ask of them. They have a very good understanding of what the client needs. Jack Whittaker2023-10-02 I highly recommend Copper & Ash. Recently used the company for a full office renovation, they understood the brief and the use of space and the vision they had was extremely impressive. They then followed this up with fantastic customer service, and reaction to changes required offering flexibility throughout. All with a personal touch from the company owners. Spencer Turner2023-09-25 We are a fit out company and required the services of an interior design company specialising in commercial design. I contacted Matt and Kayleigh of Copper and Ash who right from the word go engaged with our client and delivered an amazing scheme. For us as a contractor we were given all of the exact specifications and detail required in order to provide an accurate quotation bearing in mind the clients budget. Both Matt and Kayleigh were in contact during the design process to run past me the use of different materials and design ideas they had to make sure they were feasible and cost effective without affecting their design. Once we were contracted to do the fit out they were always on hand to assist with any alterations to design mainly due to materials and always came back to me rapidly. The whole process has been a joy and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody looking for an up to date wow design delivered by professionals that think outside the box. I am a great believer in "you get what you pay for" and I think Copper and Ash are definitely value for money. David Frisby2023-08-17 We had a fantastic experience working with Copper and Ash on our new office location in Birmingham. Their project management skills were exceptional, and they showed great professionalism throughout the process. What impressed us the most was their dedication to understanding our brand, not just from an aesthetic standpoint but also in terms of our cultural values. They truly went the extra mile to create a space that reflected our brand identity and created a positive and inspiring work environment. Nathan Dawe2023-01-17 An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I came with a vision and they took it to another level. The first design they showed me turned out to be the final design as it was so amazing! Kayleigh and Matt were fantastic throughout going above and beyond to achieve our opening date. Highly recommended. You get what you pay for!! Thank you guys Ashley A2022-12-01 Copper and Ash were fantastic from start to finish. They were enthusiastic about the project and came up with some great ideas. They kept me informed and up to date through every stage of the process. They were clear and responsive in communication. The people who perform the best are the ones that enjoy what they are doing, and it is clear that they love their craft. Kay Bonetti2022-01-08 The team at Copper and Ash have an intuition to come up with the perfect design, that until meeting them was just a figment of the imagination. Thank you for your care and attention to detail, and to actually listening - a rarity in business today
“Happyplace Design” is all about creating workplaces that people enjoy being in. For us, a well-designed office or co-working space isn’t just functional—it’s welcoming, inspiring, and energising. By focusing on employee happiness and productivity, we create spaces where teams feel comfortable, motivated, and connected. Happy employees are more engaged, productive, and eager to collaborate, which positively impacts both company culture and overall performance.
The hybrid work model requires flexibility, and our approach to hybrid office design provides exactly that. We design adaptable spaces with a mix of private workstations, collaborative zones, and social areas that can be used by employees regardless of their in-office or remote schedules. Our goal is to ensure that every inch of your office can support focus, teamwork, and social interaction, creating a workplace that feels relevant, functional, and inviting as work habits continue to evolve.
The design of an office significantly influences how people feel and perform. Factors like natural light, ergonomic furniture, and dedicated focus areas can boost productivity, while social spaces and greenery contribute to mental well-being. We design with these elements in mind to create a balanced environment where employees feel supported, valued, and motivated. A well-designed office encourages higher morale, which naturally leads to increased productivity and lower turnover.
We believe that an office should feel like a physical embodiment of your brand and culture. That’s why we start by getting to know your company values, goals, and personality. We then translate these into design choices, from the colours and materials used to the types of spaces included. Whether you’re a start-up with a laid-back vibe or a more traditional corporate setting, we design offices that resonate with your team and reinforce your brand identity.
Yes, we specialise in custom solutions, including bespoke furniture and lighting, tailored to fit your brand and space perfectly. Custom elements add character, functionality, and a unique edge to your workplace. We manage everything from the design and sourcing to overseeing the manufacturing process, ensuring quality and cohesion in every piece. This personalised approach helps your office stand out and supports your team’s specific needs.
Our office design process is structured to guide you smoothly from concept to completion. In the Define phase, we create a project brief, conduct competitor analysis, and establish brand positioning. During Design, we develop mood boards, 3D visuals, and conceptual layouts to bring your vision to life. In the Develop stage, we prepare construction drawings, custom furniture details, and prototyping. Finally, in the Deliver phase, we manage everything from site visits to quality control, ensuring the project is completed to the highest standard and meets your expectations.
