Fit out focus: office receptions

Walking into an office reception for the first time can tell you a lot about a business. The style, the layout and furnishings all give visitors clues about your company — what is important to you, what your brand represents and the image you want to portray. We’ve taken a look at some of our favourite office reception spaces to see what makes each space unique.

The Hut Group, Norwich

This cool reception space at The Hut Group's MyProtein office is more reminiscent of a high-end gym than a corporate office reception. The space features bold, double-height black walls, accessorised with industrial piping and media wall, creating a high-intensity space that truly suits the brand. The pipes start the industrial, locker room vibe that’s continued throughout this gym-inspired office space. On the other side of the reception, the walls are given a bright flair thanks to jerseys representing the brand's different sporting ambassadors.

Goodyear, Birmingham

The black gloss walls in the reception area at Goodyear Dunlop were the perfect choice for this well-known tyre brand. The white asymmetric reception desk provides a dynamic focal point which contrasts brilliantly with the black walls and is a fitting feature for a brand associated with movement and performance.
