The Axis, London: UK

The Axis is a London-based company that provides writing and production spaces for music professionals. The Axis's office space was designed by Alma-nac, an architecture studio, in a former warehouse in South Bermondsey. The warehouse was part of an abandoned industrial estate.

The Axis's music studios were completed in 2021. The studios are decorated with geometric plywood panels. The color palette of the architectural elements was restricted to black and white to draw attention to bright hue furniture.
