As the flagship site for LabTech this 80,000sqft redevelopment of Bupa House on Bloomsbury Way incorporates nine floors of mixed use co-working space with a combination of private and public member areas.

Modern office space with a glass partition separating a meeting room featuring a long table and chairs. The foreground includes a gray sofa, round white table, and a black chair on a textured rug. Ceiling lights and exposed ductwork are visible.

A modern interior space featuring a sleek black counter with a marble top. The walls are decorated with vertical wooden panels, and there are elegant hanging lights. The floor is a mix of light wood and tile. A balcony with black railings is overhead.

The public areas feature a restaurant, two bars, food safe preparation areas and a working lounge, whilst the private members’ co-working areas feature 34 meeting rooms, 108 cellular offices, two members bars, an event & presentation space as well as numerous open plan collaborative work spaces, conference facilities and private communication and networking booths.

A modern office space with a partially visible chair and table seen through a frosted glass wall. The flooring is herringbone wood, and part of a textured concrete column is visible on the left.

A close-up of a rough, textured concrete pillar with visible aggregates. The pillar is set against a black-framed glass wall, reflecting a modern interior with bright, linear ceiling lights. The glass has partial white geometric patterns.

Close-up of a modern interior with vertical wooden paneling on walls and a smooth wooden floor transitioning to a lighter tile floor. The panels have a striped design, adding texture and contrast to the space.

A modern interior featuring an exposed concrete column, a sleek mirrored wall, and a glimpse of urban buildings through large windows. The ceiling shows visible pipes and metal railings, adding to the industrial aesthetic.

Wooden lockers with geometric handles are aligned in a row, under a ceiling light fixture. The lockers have a minimalist design, each with a small circular knob near the center edge. The setting appears to be a modern interior space.

A creative approach sees the floors stripped back to maximise ceiling height and accentuate the buildings primary structure. The plaster on the existing columns has been removed to reveal the concrete encased steel, serving as a complimentary material to the new pallet that includes oak, black metal, white ceramic tiles and exposed plywood joinery. A second double height open plan space is located on the seventh floor of the building, offering views across north east Holborn.
