Tripadvisor’s Oxford office reimagines the modern workplace through a blend of functionality, flexibility and hospitality-inspired design. Relocating from an oversized, underutilised office, the new 17,000 sqft space was designed to reflect the sophistication of a boutique hotel while drawing on Oxford’s rich architectural heritage.
The layout follows Tripadvisor’s global Activity-Based Working model, offering a range of adaptable settings to suit diverse workstyles. The ground floor acts as a vibrant social hub, with a canteen, collaborative zones and a ping pong table, while the quieter first floor includes whisper rooms and smaller breakout spaces to support focused work.
Carefully considered acoustics, adjustable lighting and technology ensure the space is highly functional, comfortable and future-proofed for hybrid working. A warm, tactile palette of wood and limestone, paired with bronze, caramel and turmeric hues, enhances wellbeing throughout the space, while bespoke design features subtly reinforce Tripadvisor’s brand identity.
This dynamic workplace is a thoughtful response to the changing needs of today’s workforce, encouraging creativity, connection and productivity within a sophisticated, inspiring environment.
