Arding & Hobbs for x+why

In partnership with flexible workspace provider x+why, Interaction delivered a 25,000 sqft Cat B fit-out at Arding & Hobbs, a Grade II listed landmark in Clapham, London. Completed in just 16 weeks, the project transformed a building that had stood vacant for five years into a premium coworking space and private members’ club.

Working alongside x+why’s design team, Interaction delivered 30 serviced offices, dedicated desks, meeting rooms, podcast facilities and The Arding Rooms – a hospitality-led members’ club featuring a restaurant, bar, lounges and event spaces. The design combines restored heritage features with bespoke joinery, durable materials and carefully considered lighting to create a distinctive workplace rooted in the building’s history.

With 50% of the coworking space let before opening, the project demonstrates how high-quality design, heritage-led refurbishment and fast, reliable fit-out delivery can strengthen tenant appeal, accelerate occupancy and bring new commercial life to an existing building.
