Maximising real estate through hospitality-inspired office design

The HYLO office space spreads across four floors, setting a new benchmark for Knotel’s flexible workplaces in London. Together, we’ve evolved its workspace offerings to meet the changing needs of modern businesses. Our approach maximises Knotel’s use of space while considering the needs of companies that call it home.

Addressing the increasing demand for offices that prioritise employee comfort and wellbeing, HYLO uses hospitality-inspired elements in the design. Specifically, this involves comfortable lounge areas, collaboration tables, and well-equipped tea points to foster a warm and welcoming environment.
HYLO is a BREEAM-certified building that requires us to adhere to its sustainability standards. Our office design incorporates eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems and reduces waste with the considered use of space.
By preserving the original features of the building, for example, the concrete finishes, we minimised unnecessary modifications and reduced both fit-out and dilapidation costs. Furthermore, the project promotes an environmentally responsible approach to design and construction.
