Trading Up – Resonate Transforms tired Warehouse into Vibrant
Co-warehousing space for Tradestars
Resonate Interiors was appointed to undertake the architecture, design and PDBR for Tradestars, a co-working space which offers flexible workspaces, warehouses and studios in Islington. Tasked with transforming a tired 1980’s warehouse, Resonate’s brief was to create an entrepreneurial hub for start-ups and incubator businesses in a co-warehousing environment. The space needed to accommodate a diverse range of industries with different requirements, from tattoo studios, barbers, podcasts to rug companies, Resonate’s focus was on creating a unique collaborative space that brought together the different businesses creating a community feeling in the workplace. The overall layout ensures that businesses, whether small or large, can operate efficiently while enjoying a collaborative environment.
Resonate pushed the boundaries of the brief in both spatial design and branding. A dramatic, feature is the suspended ‘pod’ located within the building's central hub. Designed as a ‘floating’ podcast studio it was created by cutting a 3.5m X 3.5m void in the first floor and suspending half a recycled shipping container within it directly above the café space.
Throughout the interior, branding and attention to detail was woven into every aspect of the project, from the outside facade, steel frame doors and toilets on each floor painted in the four Tradestars brand colours.
The outside facade was integral to the design story and needed to create a strong street presence, enabling it to stand out within its tree-lined residential setting.
Echoed through all of Resonate’s projects are its seven principles of sustainable design and construction, involving the building materials used, indoor air quality, waste reduction, water conservation, longevity and durability, energy efficiency and sustainable design methods – all key elements to ensure the highest level of sustainability.
