Design District : BCO Awards finalist
The Design District is a flexible, durable purpose-built neighbourhood in London, supporting 1800 people in diverse creative industries, including art, design, music and digital technologies. Its 16 eclectic buildings accommodate various combinations of multi-use offices, flexible desk space, workshops and ateliers. The project supports new generations of workers and new ways of working, inspired by the very fabric of its buildings and special inter-relationships.
The BCO annual awards programme celebrates “top quality design and functionality and [is] a benchmark for excellence in workplaces”. Regional judging takes place January-February, with announcement of the London Region winner in May, and the National Award winner in October.
