The Waterman, Farringdon Lane – Classic Cork Office

Classic Cork Original Shell in office at The Waterman, Farringdon Lane

Workplace · Farringdon Lane, London

The Waterman

A workplace fit-out where three London design practices chose Classic Cork to set the tone — calm and warm across the offices, deep and dramatic in the WCs.

The Waterman on Farringdon Lane brought together Ambit Moat, Fathom Architects and Fettle Design on a single workplace fit-out — a floor that had to perform across desk space, meeting rooms and circulation, then shift character entirely in the WCs.

Classic Cork in Original Shell runs throughout the offices, meeting rooms and circulation: a soft, light-toned decor that reads warm under desk-level lighting and gives the workspace a calm, natural surface underfoot. In the WCs, Classic Cork in Nightshade takes over — a deeper, darker decor that marks the change in atmosphere as you move through the building. Both are the same engineered cork floor: quiet, comfortable, hard-wearing and made without PVC.
Two decors of one cork floor — calm and light through the workspace, deep and atmospheric in the WCs.
