CBBA have been appointed to work on a fit out of a restaurant in the modern Export building at the East India Dock in London. The project is for a restaurant chain and works are due to be completed soon.
The biggest issue with 2d plans and 3d images is that our clients struggle to understand the designs concept and when you are paying thousands of pounds on a building project this is not good enough. We use virtual reality as part of the design process to show you options and allow you to walk around the proposals as if you would in real life. You get a sense of how the completed building will feel and the sense of space.

We have been delighted about the way Grant and the team at CBBA, have understood our aspirations for our additional space, and how they have translated that into a building design that we are really excited about. Grant is really great to work with. He got us effortlessly through the planning process and he and the team are highly recommended by us. We look forward to working with them as our project is realised. Martyn & AlessandraPosted on Google JasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with CBB Architects planning our single storey extension. With this being the first project like this that we have undertook, we felt we were in great hands since Grant was informative and always responded quickly to any questions. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and offered his own advice and creative ideas that really improved the final design. We would have no hesitation in recommending CBB architects.Posted on Google Mohammed AzamuddinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our trusted surveyor recommended CBB.We worked with Oliver who helped us design our extension and reconfigure our internal floor plan to make the most of the space. Very happy with the outcome.

Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects have carried out their own office cat B fit out, therefore can demonstrate firsthand the challenges you we face in making a workplace a home from home, where people come inspired every day to give their all! In the rapidly evolving landscape of professional environments, office architecture and workplace design have shifted from simple desking solutions to strategic tools for talent retention and corporate productivity. A specialist workplace architect in England focuses on creating “destination offices” that balance collaborative zones with acoustic privacy, all while navigating the 2026 standards for BREEAM certification and Well Building Standards. By utilizing occupancy data analysis and flexible spatial planning, these experts design agile workspaces that support hybrid working models and neurodiversity. Integrating smart building technology, biophilic elements, and sustainable commercial retrofitting, a dedicated office design firm ensures your workspace isn’t just a physical location, but a high-performance ecosystem that enhances employee well-being, fosters brand culture, and minimises operational carbon footprints.
Find answers to common questions about our architectural services and how we can assist you.
As experienced office architects we generally advise that you go beyond the standard ""100 sq ft"" rule. We would look at agile working ratios (e.g., 0.7 desks per person), collaboration zones, and how hybrid work patterns have reduced desk density but increased the need for ""breakout"" space. These are all points for discussion with each individual client and we would design based on your project brief and adapt our plans to meet your requirements.
Cat A: The ""blank canvas"" (lighting, raised floors, HVAC)—usually the landlord's responsibility.
Cat B: The ""personality"" (kitchens, partitions, furniture, branding)—the tenant's responsibility.
As office architects we have looked at this before and focused on destination offices. They need to be attractive places that offer what the home cannot: mentorship areas, high-tech video conferencing pods (Zoom rooms), social hubs and much more. Hybrid workers when they come into the office they need to feel inspired and look forward to coming into work, therefore the office design is so important, otherwise they might as well just stay at home!
If you are just doing internal works and there is no change of use, then usually no planning permission is needed, but building regulations will be required. If you require any external changes for new windows, AC units, signage, etc. you will likely need planning permission. If the office development is within a listed building then you may also need Listed Building Consent. Our office architect will be able to advise on what permissions are required.
When staff are in a place they enjoy they will naturally spend more time there, interact with colleagues and work to their best abilities, hence the need of designing an amazing office for your staff and any clients coming to visit. Other considerations will help like biophilic design (plants/light), acoustics (reducing noise fatigue) and air quality to ensure staff are in the highest levels of comfort. You may consider certifications like WELL Building Standard or BREEAM compliance, which for new build offices may be a legislation requirement or can be implemented by you.
