Jotun Paints approached us with a clear goal: transform their Glasgow office into a space that reflects their global brand, while offering a more functional, welcoming environment for their team and visitors alike.
The existing space lacked cohesion and didn’t showcase the company’s professional identity. They were looking for a design that not only improved layout and usability, but also subtly embedded brand personality — creating a space that felt considered, confident and completely on-brand.
design.
We took inspiration directly from Jotun’s strong brand identity, integrating it through carefully curated finishes, signage and colour choices – including a striking frosted manifestation of their iconic penguin logo.
planning.
To define zones without compromising natural light or openness, we introduced crittall-style glazed partitioning. This allowed us to create a new meeting room and private office while keeping the overall space feeling light, bright, and modern.
finish selection.
We specified a cool yet understated palette throughout — slatted timber wall cladding, soft grey carpet tiles and bold navy wall panelling. These layered elements add depth, improve acoustics and elevate the overall atmosphere.
supply.
Every piece of furniture was carefully selected and supplied by our team, including boardroom chairs with subtle yellow accents to mirror the brand, a statement navy table and practical storage that blends effortlessly with the space.
The finished office is a calm, contemporary space that reflects Jotun’s professionalism while providing a more functional layout for meetings and daily operations.
The branded elements feel considered and confident — not just added, but integrated. It’s a space that feels like Jotun from the moment you walk in.
It was a pleasure to work with Ollie and Kyle of District Four, from the initial concept design stage through to the installation of our new office.
We really appreciated how Ollie & Kyle understood our requirements and how they delivered a design that captured our corporate identity.
They even went the extra mile by filing away all our marketing materials so that when we visited the new office for the first time it looked fantastic! We’re delighted with the result and would happily recommend District Four to anyone considering an office refurbishment.
