Why Historic Buildings Create Better Places to Work
The role of the office has changed. With hybrid working now the norm, people don’t come to the office out of obligation – they come for connection, culture and experience. That means workplace environments must offer something more than functional floorplates.
Historic buildings naturally provide what many modern offices try to manufacture: generous proportions, natural light, tactile materials and a sense of identity.
When sensitively retrofitted, these spaces deliver all the benefits of contemporary office infrastructure – fast connectivity, comfort, flexibility – without sacrificing character.
Working in a heritage environment creates a destination people want to return to. It fosters pride, strengthens company culture and leaves a lasting impression on clients and visitors. It’s no longer enough for an office to simply work; it must inspire.
At Cams Hall in Fareham and our other business centres Fetcham Park near Leatherhead and Parallel House in Guildford, original architecture has been reimagined to support collaboration, focus and wellbeing. The outcome is a workplace that feels distinctive, human and memorable – a valuable advantage in attracting and retaining talent.
Because when people love where they work, performance follows.
