Cat B fit out for CBBA & CA converting an old HSBC bank to an office and event space. The end result has provided an open plan reception waiting area, meeting room, kitchenette, WC with a large private office space for staff.

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.
Posted on O AshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CBBA are excellent. I highly recommend. A friend recommended CBBA, after using them. So I included them in the list of 5 architects to check out. CBBA were the only architect firm that gave me a quote that I could understand - clear, simple, concise and relevant. And they also had the best price. But what I liked the most about CBBA was their helpfulness and patience. It was clear that they really cared. Which came through in the design, as well as support through planning process. I really appreciated that. My only feedback is that I hope they can find a software tool that will help with clients like me that ask a lot(!) of questions LOL!. Eg an editable document where questions and comments can be logged and tracked. Mainly so that CBBA aren’t inundated with emails. Thanks again for everything Grant and Oliver!!Posted on Jason YuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been a pleasure working with both Grant and Oliver on several projects, including a residential HMO conversion on Newmarket Road and a commercial conversion on Mill Road, Cambridge. They’ve been consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and client-focused, always considering return on investment. Being local to Cambridge has also been a real asset when dealing with planning matters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.Posted on Tuhin ChaturvediTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had a great experience with CBB Architects from the get-go. They provided us with great ideas and design in line with our expectations for our loft conversion project, which due to the nature of the property includes remodelling of the first floor space akin to a single storey extension on the first floor. In addition they did the design of a garden room (single storey ext to our dining space on the ground floor). Although I first found them via Google search, I am impressed and satisfied by the work Grant & his team have done for us. I would recommend them to anyone for the following reasons: 1. Prompt, clear comms, fair and transparent pricing structure, knowledgeable & experts in the services they provide. Also, they are not pushy with sales, i.e. they have different packages at different price points, but they don't push the more expensive options to the clients, something that helps build trust. 2. We wanted a modern design. A quick look at their portfolio suggested that they could be the right architecture consultancy for us. This belief quickly got validated after the first meeting with Grant, who diligently did all measurements and sketched ideas there itself, quite impressive! 3. The final product (in terms of the design) looks very good. CBB did the initial Compliance level drawings for Planning. Then we also used their services for compliance level Building Regs drawings and Structural Calcs. 4. We are about to begin construction work next week; the builder has provided good feedback about the drawings/documents as it enabled him to provide a robust quote. I hope that this comprehensive review allows people to have confidence in reaching out to Grant and CBB for any architecture design and consultancy work, you wouldn't be disappointed. Good luck!Posted on Hollie TopliffeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Cameron Bosque Brookes to help us with our extension and can safely say we were very happy with all the work we received from Oliver. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout and answered all of our questions, which, as novices to this process, were numerous. Highly recommendPosted on Fraser HawkesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grant did a fantastic job with our design and planning permission. He really listened to us and has come up with a design that really works and also fits within the budget we had. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Prmanagement Charlie-KayeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked closely with Oliver on a double extension. From start to finish he was incredibly knowledgable, helpful and understanding when our vision changed at times helping to create a unique design. He was available whenever needed which left us feeling very supported through the process . Thank you Oliver, you have helped to make our house into our dream home! Well.. once complete!Posted on Fiona MutterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Grant and the Team at CBB Architects!Posted on Peter BhagatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the service from CBB. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We were asking for planning permission for some outbuildings in a village near Huntingdon. The local authority needed some extra paperwork and surveys, but the architect at CBB managed them very well and smoothed the path through. (Sounds robotic but I am a real person!).Posted on robert stringerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clear and timely communications /advice. We ended completely changing our project after Grant gave his viewpoint on our plan (Thankfully) A clear mastery of the Forces needed to negotiate the challenges of entering the planning Portal.Posted on Daniel BrandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Cameron Brookes Architects. Friendly and professional service. My planning permission was secured within six weeks !
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.
