The Sacred Rose

I got to have a but of a nosy around the newly refurbished offices of investment stockbrokers Rowan Dartington in Bristol this week, carried out by commercial design and build specialists Interaction.

I'm told the two floors that Rowan Dartington had relatively recently acquired provided a very tired and dated office space, but there was no sign of such a thing in the redesign.

The best word to describe it would be 'fresh', with chic fittings and modern furniture dotted about the place. The finance company asked for Interaction to breathe new life into the place, and they seemed to pull it off.

It's hard working in a crunky, tired old office - it can lower the mood or put you off working altogether, but a swish, bright spacious office can be a great motivation.
