Introduction to a four-part series
Designing for the tech industry means designing for the disrupters big and small. These companies aren’t here to repeat what’s been done; they’re here to reimagine it. Their workplaces & manufacturing facilities need to reflect what drives them, innovation through a strong sense of identity, deeply embedded culture, operational efficiency and people first thinking at scale. These four ideas consistently shape how we approach space in the tech world, and they form the foundation of this four-part series.

What is the Tech Industry?
Rapidly evolving and increasingly specialised, it includes organisations that design and deliver technology-driven products and services across digital platforms and physical systems. This spans software development, fintech, data infrastructure, performance analytics, telecommunications and advanced manufacturing. It covers fields as diverse as trading platforms, sports technology, workplace software, renewable energy systems and high-precision fabrication.

RayGen combines solar energy with thermal storage in a manufacturing setting. Pepperstone builds digital platforms for global trading, while Xero supports millions of businesses through scalable, cloud-based financial tools.

Spatial Translation
Our role is to translate these complex needs into environments that perform on every level. Spaces that express brand, support culture, enable technical precision and prioritise wellbeing globally. Through our previous work, we investigate each of these themes.
