Blueprint Interiors in 2025: Our Best Bits!

Posted in:

As another busy and brilliant year comes to an end, we’re taking a moment to reflect on everything we’ve been up to this year.

First things first – a huge thank you to our clients, partners and everyone we’ve worked alongside this year. It’s a real privilege to collaborate with such great people, and it’s your trust, openness and ambition that continue to inspire what we do every day.

So, here’s our 2025 rewind…

January

Visiting Glasgow University

We kicked off the year with a trip to the University of Glasgow as part of our work on the University of Derby’s new Business School. Joined by partners at Steelcase and members of the project team, we explored the newly completed building to gather ideas and inspiration.

Q Collection’s Singapore HQ

January also took us further afield, with a visit to Singapore to support Q Collection in redesigning their company HQ. After initially meeting in the UK, it was great to continue the conversation in person and help shape a workspace that reflects the brand and culture on a global stage.

Papworth Printworks Opening

We headed to Papworth Everard for the opening of Papworth Printworks – an old printworks transformed into a vibrant community hub. Having been part of the original design and fit-out team, it was amazing to see the space fully brought to life.

February

Learning at WorkLife Central

Our team enjoyed a Lunch & Learn session with Interface Flooring, exploring their latest product ranges. Later in the month, we were joined by TechInteractive and Ascentae to talk through the latest AV trends supporting teams to do their best work, in and out of the office.

Sessions like these help us bring fresh thinking to our clients and make informed design decisions, together.

Inizio

We were delighted to share our completed project with Inizio, transforming their new office at Excelsior House into a tech-enabled space designed for hybrid working. With sustainability and community at the heart of the design, this was a fantastic project to be part of.

We also attended the Footprints Conductive Education Centre celebration dinner – a really lovely evening recognising the incredible work of a charity very close to our hearts.

July

We completed our project with Argon Medical, leading the design and fit-out of a brand new 20,000 sq ft workplace. The space includes flexible meeting rooms, open collaboration areas and a specialist clinical education suite for product demonstrations.

Summer BBQ

We made the most of the summer sunshine with a Blueprint BBQ – good food, good weather and even better company.
