Bracken COWORKING SPACE
Design FYI was appointed by Bracken Workspace+ to introduce a new kind of coworking environment, one that moves beyond functionality into experience. Located in Calls Wharf, Leeds, Bracken Workspace+ reimagines the shared office as a space for focus, connection, and creative energy, balancing professional clarity with a more human, design-led atmosphere.
Architectural details are used as quiet anchors across the interior, creating continuity between open work areas, meeting rooms, and communal zones. Soft transitions, layered textures, and a restrained palette establish a rhythm that supports both deep focus and informal interaction. The space shifts naturally between moments of privacy and openness, reflecting the fluid nature of modern work. Rather than leaning into the typical neutrality of office design, the concept embraces warmth, tactility, and subtle moments of contrast.
PODCAST + QUIET BOOTHS
The podcast and quiet booths were designed as compact, high-performance spaces within the wider environment, offering moments of focus, privacy and content creation without disrupting the flow of the workplace.
Bracken Workspace+ positions itself not just as a place to work, but as a framework for how work can feel: adaptable, intentional, and quietly expressive.
