A Workplace with a Story to Tell

A workplace as ambitious and individual as the people behind it. For global coaching business EZRA, the move from Shoreditch to a new 15,000 sq ft headquarters in Farringdon marked an exciting evolution. Working closely with creative design studio Motive, pioneered by Rob Venice, Whitepaper delivered a distinctive CAT B fit out that celebrates EZRA's extraordinary growth while retaining the playful spirit and individuality at the heart of its culture.

The design concept centred on evolution rather than reinvention. EZRA's new London home needed to introduce greater maturity and sophistication without losing its creative edge. Moving beyond the company's signature brand palette, the scheme embraces the building's architectural character, carefully curated materials and unexpected design moments to create an environment that feels confident, expressive and unmistakably EZRA.

Spatial planning focused on bringing people together, combining generous open plan working areas with adventurous meeting rooms, intimate nooks, recording spaces and collaborative settings. A striking event space, framed by the building's dramatic arches, features a bespoke tiled bar that playfully references EZRA's black and yellow branding, creating a memorable social heart for the headquarters.

Storytelling is woven throughout the interiors, with each meeting room celebrating a different chapter of EZRA's journey. From a hidden room concealed behind a vintage vending machine to bespoke artwork honouring the company's people, milestones and international growth, the workplace is filled with imaginative details that bring its culture and personality to life.

Delivering such an ambitious concept required a truly collaborative approach. Whitepaper's Design team worked closely with Rob Venice and the Motive team, developing the design through considered material selection, furniture curation and technical detailing. Together, the team navigated the complexities of the building and project requirements while protecting the creative ambition behind the scheme.

The completed headquarters is a celebration of creativity, collaboration and thoughtful design. Sophisticated yet full of surprises, it reflects a business that has grown in confidence without losing its individuality.

For Whitepaper, EZRA represents a standout collaboration, demonstrating what can be achieved when bold creative thinking and technical expertise come together.
