Why yes, I believe that this is one of the most inspiring little offices I have seen in a while – jam packed full of awesomeness {and attractiveness}!

I spotted it as I was browsing through the fabulous design*sponge and I was instantly taken by this seriously photogenic space. It is located in Portland and it belongs to Parliament – a design agency offering a range of services in the fields of print, retail, marketing and digital design.

To say that I’m in love with the timber log wall would be an understatement {hmmm, reminds me of a certain project I designed a little while ago – and those who know me know what I’m talking about}. I absolutely love the warmth and the grain of the recycled timber against the raw concrete, and the central freestanding joinery unit in the workspace is too cool for school. It is very clear that this interior was blessed with quite a bit of talent, a lot of attention to detail, some solid thinking and a whole lotta love.

In fact, someone I work with saw one of these images on my screen and asked me whether this was one of my projects, and I said – I wish! Mind you, this is the closest another space has looked as though it was one of my own creations. There are probably a few things that I would have done differently {maybe not as well}, but overall it pretty much has my name written all over it.

Word.
