OP completes refurbishment of Teshspace Clifton Street

Central to the transformation is a reconfigured ground floor. We relocated the entrance to Clifton Street, replacing the previous narrow, dark arrival with a larger, lighter and more open welcome, with improved access to the lift. The new arrangement also responds to how members approach the building from Liverpool Street Station.

The double-height café creates a focal point for the member experience, providing a setting for informal conversations, breaks and connection throughout the working day. Exposed brickwork and raw industrial materials give the space its distinctive character, drawing on the building’s loading bay heritage and complementing Techspace’s wider design language.

Reuse informed the scheme, with the existing café bar identified for adaptation and relocation alongside opportunities to repurpose furniture and glass. Secondary glazing also formed part of the refurbishment scope, intended to improve the building’s environmental performance.

The completed project brings a renewed welcome and a distinctive shared setting to Techspace Clifton Street, supporting the community within an established building and retaining the character that makes it special.
