Inside OCCA Design’s Stunning New Glasgow Studio

OCCA Design has relocated its headquarters to a newly crafted studio in central Glasgow. Designed by the OCCA team to embody the studio’s values and unique personality, the space highlights a meticulous attention to material choices and design details. The new immersive environment, flooded with natural light, fosters collaboration among its design, procurement, and branding specialists while also serving as a captivating ‘shop window’ for both new and existing clients.

The move and investment signal a new chapter for OCCA, underscoring its dedication to consistent excellence, growth and the creation of rich, immersive design narratives.

The new studio reflects OCCA’s expertise in interior design, procurement and branding – serving as a tangible showcase of its capabilities and a source of inspiration for clients seeking exceptional design solutions.

Kate Mooney, Founder and Principal, OCCA said:

“We approached the design as we would any client-led project, giving our team the freedom to infuse the space with OCCA’s unique personality and values. This is more than just a workspace – it’s a creative hub crafted with our signature attention to detail in each touchpoint. It’s a place where our team can come together, innovate and advance the vision of our clients, surrounded by an environment that inspires them every day.”

Intentionally featuring brands that the studio has specified for past and upcoming projects, the multi-layered design scheme showcases premium products, many of which are locally sourced to infuse the studio with a strong sense of place and authenticity.

In addition to its fully ergonomic workstations, open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of Glasgow’s cityscape, the space features a range of cosy breakout zones, including a hands-on design library, and two private meeting rooms.

Thoughtfully curated accent areas showcase sculptural lighting installations, while an open kitchen doubles as a versatile presentation space, fostering both creativity and collaboration.

Commercial suppliers included Commercial Interiors UK members Humanscale, Ege and Tektura.
