Twenty — interior design & styling, London Bridge

Twenty

Great Portland Estates asked for something striking, built on the white interior that was already there, on a strict budget. We presented three concepts; this is the one they chose — a colour scheme delivered entirely in vinyl and paint, with one corner furnished and styled to match.

The project

Twenty is a commercial interior at New City Court, London Bridge, for Great Portland Estates. The brief was unusually direct: take the white interior that was already in place, make something striking out of it, and do it on a strict budget.

We presented three options. The scheme chosen runs a chevron across the reception, the lift lobby and the corridor beyond, in teal, blue and yellow, with the existing white left as the fourth colour rather than treated as background.

Colour without construction

Every colour here is vinyl and paint. Nothing was clad, rebuilt or moved.

The white was already there, so the scheme was drawn to use it — the chevrons interlock with it.

The sitting corner

One corner was furnished and styled as part of the same scheme: a black metal grid divider stacked with plywood boxes, books and objects, coral armchairs, teal seating, a yellow stool, and low round tables in timber and blush.

The divider separates without closing off. It separates the seating from the circulation route while keeping the light and the view out to the arched brickwork opposite, and it gives the corner something to hold the eye at close range — which the graphic, by design, does not.
