EARTH INTERIOR ARCHITECTS CREATES NEW SPACE FOR XL NEXUS
XL Nexus offers tailored travel solutions for corporate clients and individuals planning dream holidays. To mirror this, Earth Interior Architects designed a workplace filled with quirky, travel-inspired elements that are visually striking, fun, and inspiring. Green accents bring freshness, while bold graphics and large-scale imagery create strong focal points, ensuring both staff and clients feel energised by the environment.
“ Our client wanted a space that reflected their brand and ethos,” says Candice Brophy, creative director of Earth Interior Architects.“ We worked with branding colours, added texture, greenery, and printed wallpapers. My vision was to capture the excitement of exploration while balancing functionality and contemporary design.” Every element was curated to motivate staff and visitors, ensuring the office reflects the brand’ s dynamic identity. Neon lighting adds playfulness, while warm timber balances the industrial framework.
A key feature is the use of cityscape wallpapers wrapping the smaller meeting rooms. The reception delivers instant impact with a bold world map wall, illuminated with travel routes symbolising global connectivity. The geometric front desk combines wood tones and black framing, striking a balance between professionalism and industrial chic. Exposed concrete ceilings, sleek lighting, and industrial fans reinforce an urban aesthetic, softened by greenery.
The communal dining and breakout zone encourages collaboration and relaxation. Sturdy tables and eclectic chairs provide flexibility and character, while pendant lights create intimacy. A vibrant mural injects colour and reinforces the company’ s adventurous spirit.
Transparency drives the design. Glass partitions with bold typography allow natural light to flow freely while reinforcing brand messaging. Graphic wall art with travel imagery and inspirational slogans ensures even transitional areas remain engaging. Polished flooring amplifies light, enhancing modernity and cleanliness.
The result is an office that fuses industrial architecture with playful, travel-led storytelling. Raw concrete and exposed ducting are balanced by timber, graphics, and murals, creating a professional yet energetic space that inspires staff and impresses clients – a hub of global possibility. www. earthinteriorarc. com
