Office Principles Unveils Inspiring Shoosmiths Birmingham Transformation in New Video

We are delighted to share a new video highlighting how our expert team brought Shoosmiths’ aspirations for a vibrant, collaborative workspace to life. Hear first-hand from Shoosmiths' leaders Alex Bishop and Beth McArdle as they take us on a tour of the stunning new office.

Shoosmiths, a prominent law firm in the UK, recently relocated and entrusted Office Principles to create a workspace that promotes collaboration, innovation, and a sense of community among its employees. The transformation project aimed to align Shoosmiths' corporate culture with its physical environment and enhance employee well-being.

Discover how we worked closely with Shoosmiths every step of the way. From initial concepts focused on flexibility and connectivity, right through to considered lighting schemes and bespoke breakout areas that perfectly balance quiet focus with energising social spaces.

As Beth McArdle summarises: “It’s enabling all of our people to work in the way that they work best. Having that choice is really empowering.”

At Office Principles, designing offices around how people really work is at the heart of our approach. We blend placemaking creativity with commercial nous to deliver environments our clients are proud to call home.
