Shared places with purpose, clarity and character.
Begin with
the right brief.
Shared interiors need a clear relationship between movement and occupation. Entrances, waiting spaces and destinations should be easy to understand, while furniture and architectural features help people recognise where to pause and where to move.
Commercial environments also need to accommodate change. Display, events and different levels of occupancy may place different demands on the same space. The brief should identify those uses early so the interior can support them through its layout and details.

All projectsHow do you approach a shared public interior?
Begin with user groups, activities, peak occupancy and the relationship to the building. These establish the planning priorities.
Can the design allow for changing uses?
Adaptability can be part of the brief through furniture, lighting and service planning. The specific approach depends on the building and programme.
