neptune mill
this workspace blends capital¢ric’s brand with an industrial setting, focusing on natural tones, smooth shapes, and occasional bright colour accents to create a harmonious environment.
natural - fluid - bright.
the design approach prioritised individual needs and preferences, leading to the creation of a flexible furniture toolkit for the client’s expanding rentable workspace portfolio. a consistent use of common elements fosters a reassuring sense of order.
the industrial canvas of neptune mill, with its muted red brick walls, warm timber ceilings, and exposed concrete floors, provides a calm yet intriguing backdrop. beautifully crafted furniture, soft window treatments, and carpets warm the palette while improving acoustics.
the journey to desk passes through the client's urban garden and cafe cotton, both designed with the same aesthetic to offer spaces where people can escape the constant presence of technology.
inside the main open-plan workspace, various areas cater to different tasks - open spaces for socialising, enclosed pods and meeting rooms for focused work, and quiet seating areas - all equipped with modern technologies. calming colours and patterns minimise sensory overload, reducing mental fatigue.
the design fosters an inclusive environment, supporting diverse needs, and the use of adaptable furniture systems future-proofs the space, allowing the client to regularly assess and accommodate the needs of neurodiverse individuals.
