For OnPath Energy, outgrowing their existing premises became less a constraint than an opportunity, a chance to reimagine what their workplace could be, for a renewable energy company looking for more than conventional office design. The brief was clear: create a space that would bring the team under one roof, create community, and possess the flexibility to evolve alongside growth plans. Sustainability, already fundamental to their operations, informed every decision at each stage.
Appointed as the single contractor for this Design & Build project, the team delivered the transformation from initial tender through to final installation, with a client relationship built on a shared ambition from the outset.
The result is an environment that balances focus with connection. Each team member has a dedicated workstation, with generous social spaces and a wellbeing room, inviting people to step away and engage with colleagues.
Visual identity became integral to the spatial experience. OnPath’s brand identity, includes dynamic, fluid topographic graphics. Taking a localised approach, we worked with their design team to map topography from two of the company’s Scottish wind farms, Lethans and Kype Muir. Translating landscape contours into wall finishes across social areas and manifestation patterns on glass partitions, with playful wind turbine illustrations and location markers.
From conception through to construction, decisions prioritised sustainability: UK manufacturers wherever feasible, flexible furniture systems designed for adaptation rather than replacement, and the reuse of existing pieces still fit for purpose.
