Freedom and Connection is something we're all looking forward too, however we have to be patient for a little longer.. In the meantime we have used it as our inspiration for this moodboard to celebrate the global partnership of @haworthinc and @kvadrattextiles #HaworthxKvadrat #HaworthxCappellini #ad 
This week we are looking at Maz’s choice for biophilic design. Maz was inspired by the iconic architectural treetops by the Bay in Singapore - wouldn’t it be amazing to take a walk up here!? British architects Wilkinson Eyre and landscape architects Grant Associates designed the enormous tropical garden in Singapore filled with tree-like towers, shell-shaped greenhouses and a 30-metre-high man-made waterfall. The design of these immense man made trees is so intricate and helps to sustain the natural ecosystem of the forest beneath. Each one contains rainwater collection tanks and pumps that cool both themselves and the two huge greenhouses beside them. @wilkinsoneyre #makingworklive #architecture #biophilicdesign #environmentaldesign 
We hope you all enjoyed our last 3e1 inspo chain series - pantone colour of the year. It definitely brought out the competitive side of the team! Our next theme will be all things plants. There is little green circulating during these grey winter months so we thought we’d bring the green to you! Rhiannon felt really inspired by the ‘modern jungle’ nature of a private residential project by KHUON Studio in Vietnam. ‘House of Daughter’ was designed for a young woman and her immediate family, and the open plan concept is intended to facilitate family bonding. We loved the vast open plan structure of the house and were refreshed by the bright white walls and natural light. The round walls allow the skylight to floor the house, creating seamless lighting effects that would otherwise be interrupted by straight walls. Sahara’s Biophilic pick is a stunning interior first in the Netherlands designed by seARCH architects. ‘Hotel Jakarta’ opened in 2018 and is one of the most sustainable hotels in Amsterdam! Indonesian subtropical garden was designed in collaboration with Hortus Botanicus and their architecture and interior design has been recognised for its excellent approach to renewable energy sources. We found the atrium with the subtropical garden fascinating as it acts as a temperature regulator in both summer and winter. #makingworklive #biophilicdesign #interiordesign #biophilicinteriors #residential 
Last week we paid a visit to one of the sites we've had the pleasure of designing. In this video we've put together a few before and after progress images - it's so exciting to see the space transforming and coming to life. We can't wait to see the finished result and share this with you! @beh_interiors #interiordesign #makingworklive #workinprogress #architecture #officeinteriors #officedesign 
Finishing off the Panton of the year series, today we are sharing Saraha’s and Sabrina’s chosen yellow space. Sabrina loved the minimal and bold design of the Limotex office, a construction company located in Kerala, India. We found it interesting how @hummingtreeofficial found inspiration from art gallery spaces, as opposed to typical office interiors, to create a dynamic and sharp space. Sarah, known for her eye for the finest details, felt really inspired by the luscious gold links by Kriskadecor. We admire the way @kriskadecor expertly uses aluminum chain screens to create dynamic interiors. The creative possibilities of these unique screens seem endless - as Each link of the chain works as a pixel allowing us to create complex and sophisticated patterns and images. Who else would love these luxurious screens in their office space? #makingworklive #interiordesign #workplacedesign #officeinteriors #architecture #pantone2021 
This week were zooming into Maz’s and Harry’s yellow space of choice. Very different to last week, here are some more industrial styled interiors that use hints of yellow to brighten up the spaces. Maz loved the Kara Management offices in Mumbai designed by DIG Architects @design.dig . We found the ‘suspension’ strategy of this office space so inspiring - ranging from floating staircases to the suspended work desks. Who else loves this innovative solution to the tropical floods of Mumbai! Harry found the design of the Emre Group office space in Istanbul really interesting. We loved the way the Renda Helin Design Studio used the industry sector of Emre Group as the inspiration for their design. Being a construction firm, @rendahelindesign wanted the office design to represent in many ways how a construction site looks. Hence the use of the high visibility yellow and the industrial style materials used. We hope these bright yellow spaces can bring your January a bit of sunshine and inspiration! #pantone2021 #architecture #interiordesign #makingworklive #officedesign #officeinteriors 
New year means new colour and PANTONE couldn't have chosen any better colours to comfort us all after the disastrous 2020. As PANTONE describes, the new yellow and grey colours of the year express ‘a message of positivity supported by fortitude’. Now doesn’t that just put a smile on your face!? For the next couple of weeks all of us at 3e1 will be responding to these colours. This week we have the spotlight on Gert and Rhiannon who have both chosen some very bold and sleek projects by @studio11____ and @_naturehumaine - highlighting their interest in architectural interiors. We’d love to hear what you think of these two projects! Check out our stories to read a bit more about each project Gert was inspired by the interior concept of the @appodeal office in Minsk. Particularly the bold combinations of colour and materials and the bright accent navigation graphics integrated in this minimalist space. Rhiannon loved the transformation of a 1930’s building in Canada, designed by @_naturehumaine. She was drawn to the bold graphic composition of the project and the way the bright yellow energized the confined spaces #makingworklive #pantone2021 #architecture #interiordesign #officeinteriors #commercialinteriors #design

Kicking off the new year with with some exciting 3D visuals! This is a concept we worked on a short while ago for an old barn Mersham converted into an eclectic co-working space. #makingworklive #interiordesign #workplacedesign #commercialinteriors #coworkingspace
