Interaction, the workplace design and build company, is in the running for another prestigious award for creating Osborne Clarke's state-of-the-art office in Bristol.


Bath-based Interaction has been shortlisted for a British Council for Offices (BCO) award for the fit-out of the law firm's flexible workplace in the landmark Halo building, one of the UK's most sustainable office developments.


The BCO awards recognise top-quality office design and functionality, and are seen as the benchmark for excellence in workplaces.


Interaction was commissioned to design and build Osborne Clarke's Bristol workplace with a focus on wellbeing, agile working and sustainability. Highlights include indoor gardens with flexible workspaces, a yoga and spin studio, and restaurant with a rooftop terrace that offers stunning views of Bristol.


In keeping with strict sustainability criteria, the Halo fit-out was designed with WELL Building and Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) certifications in mind. Sustainable materials were used throughout the workspace, including reclaimed clothing materials and recycled plastics.


Interaction's managing director Dieter Wood said:

"Osborne Clarke's Halo office was a game-changing project for us in terms of scale, design and sustainability, so it's really gratifying to be recognised for our work there once again.

"We created a cutting-edge workspace that serves as a best-in-class example of how to design for both people and the planet."


The regional winners will be announced at the BCO South of England and South Wales Awards Dinner at Cardiff's City Hall on 16th May. The regional winners will then compete in their categories at the National Awards Dinner on the 8th October at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House hotel in London.
