DGS

DGS Accounting is a practice that believes finance should feel less daunting, and the interior was designed to reflect that. Warm, characterful and quietly playful, the space embodies the spirit of the firm it holds.

At the reception desk, burl and oak timbers meet in alternating horizontal bands, the burl steeped in heritage and depth, the oak light and open. A handshake before a word has been spoken. Beyond it, each room settles into its own world. Deep greens envelope the private offices in calm. The boardroom immerses entirely in blue, a handcrafted oak table with cream inset at its centre bringing light into the room. Maroon, ice blue and chutney weave through the remaining spaces, each a considered touch of vibrancy woven into the space around it.

The layout was resolved around the way the practice lives and breathes. Every choice, from materials to the makers to art on the walls, was guided by the same intention: a space that reflects the care the firm brings to every client it serves.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"We had a great experience working with Nick on our new office. Right from the start, Nick took the time to understand how we actually work day to day. Not just what we wanted it to look like, but how the team uses the space, where people need to focus, and how our clients feel when they come in.

We were starting with an empty building, so a lot of it came down to working out the flow and fitting everything around how we operate. Nick was excellent at that. What really stood out was his process. Working through the design options and decisions at each stage helped us understand exactly what we were building and how it was going to look. Because we always felt understood and knew what to expect from the outcome, the decisions were easy to make. There were no surprises, just a clear sense of where we were heading the whole way through.

The thing we didn't expect was how much of a difference it would make to the team. The office is a really pleasant place to be now, and you can feel it day to day. Our clients have noticed too. Most of all, it feels like us. Nick listened to what mattered and got it right. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."
