We were honoured to collaborate with contemporary workplace and office design specialists BDG Architecture + Design, in transforming Dojo’s regional contact centre in Bristol’s Temple Meads, into a dynamic and innovative workspace. The workplace will serve as a contact centre and training hub to better enable Dojo’s fast-growing team, whilst providing expert customer service to over 126,000 businesses.

The design draws inspiration from Bristol’s dynamic energy and alternative spirit and is set across two floors, connected by a striking red staircase. Local graffiti artists including Oshi, Andy Council, Epod, and Will Barras, have infused the interiors with authentic colour and character, encouraging employees to interact with art naturally as they move throughout the workspace. A large-scale feature piece spanning two floors brings bold creativity to the heart of the office, reinforcing Dojo’s lively culture.

Our goal was to design a space that seamlessly blends professionalism with a sense of home, opting for pieces that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while soft, rounded edges and low-level seating from makers such as Tacchini encourage relaxation breaks and bring a unique character by offering fun and tactile moments.

Striking boardroom tables by renowned maker Malte Gormsen, crafted from the exquisite sake oak tree, add a distinctive touch, ensuring the space is both functional and timeless. We focused on a rich colour palette of cobalt blue, olive green, and marle grey, complemented by planting and foliage to provide a biophilic touch, a natural addition to this contemporary aesthetic.

By combining comfort, community, and creativity, we’ve crafted a workplace that goes beyond functionality to enhance employee well-being and engagement. The result is an innovative workplace designed with people at its heart, where functionality meets inspiration.
