Flexible workspace operator FOUNDRY has opened a brand-new coworking hub in Hove, East Sussex which has been designed by Bath-based workplace specialists Interaction.
The new coworking centre, part of the flagship Hove Gardens development, accommodates up to 300 coworkers in state-of-the-art office facilities next to the town’s railway station.
The modern workspace spans 22,000 sq ft on the building’s ground floor and includes a mix of private offices, dedicated and hot desks, soundproof booths, and breakout and event spaces. There is also a yoga studio and eight wellness suites for businesses offering wellbeing services to the residents of Hove Gardens.
Bath-based Interaction’s design concept reflects Hove’s history as a fishing village, its Regency era past and its current, vibrant café culture. Key design features include beach hut-style toilets and a specially commissioned wall graphic featuring the South Downs.
Timber and rattan have been used throughout the co-working space to echo Hove’s nautical history. There are also neon signs and bright colours to reflect present-day Hove.
Pamela D’Alessandro, lead designer at Interaction, said: “This is the second office project that we have completed for FOUNDRY, having also designed their stunning coworking hub in London’s Wandsworth. It’s great to be working with a team who share our passion for creating unique, community-driven spaces where businesses can thrive.”
