YourStudio has designed a new workspace for social media agency We Are Social in the Alphabeta building in London’s Finsbury Square.

The new workspace is 2,700m2 over two floors and accommodates the agency’s 550 staff.

YourStudio says: “As a socially-driven business, the crux of the design was to create a space that brought We Are Social’s community spirit to the fore. The design focuses on creative and social hubs that form a multi-layered environment for work and play.

“The teams within We Are Social operate like ‘tribes’ so we wanted to celebrate this through pops of colour and varied working adding variety. As a constantly ‘on’ business, it was really important for us to blend lively and connected spaces with more reclusive escapes for quiet and focused work.

“A key feature at the heart of the design, and viewable instantly from Reception, is the impressive timber bookcase which links both floors. This provides an ever-changing showcase of We Are Social’s culture which engages both visitors and staff circulating up and down.”
