A London coworking fit-out designed for growth on Newman Street

WorkPad is a London-based serviced office operator with an ambitious expansion plan, opening multiple new sites across the capital each year. They came to Enky to help them furnish their new office space on Newman Street. The challenge wasn’t necessarily designing for this project, but rather finding a solution that had the financing flexibility they needed to complete the expansion plan.

One project,
two furnishing models

WorkPad came to Enky with a fully resolved furniture specification, developed independently by their in-house design team. The ask was straightforward: match the spec, deliver on time, and structure the financing in a way that protected cash flow. With multiple London openings to fund over the coming year, traditional debt financing had reached its limits but Enky offered a more adaptable path.

The Newman Street fit-out was structured across two distinct models. Opting for Enky’s leasing model covered the long-term pieces that would remain in the space regardless of tenancy. While a subscription covered the items specific to the anchor tenant, giving WorkPad the flexibility to return or reconfigure those pieces when the tenancy ends and a new one begins.

The result is a workspace of 347 pieces across 98 desks and multiple communal zones, furnished to a premium standard with pieces from Audo Copenhagen, Rawside, as well as others, alongside height-adjustable desking and phone booths of various sizes for the anchor tenant's needs.

For a serviced office operator opening multiple London sites each year, the traditional model of purchasing furniture outright can create a real constraint. A company that depends on monthly rent and service fees from tenants cannot coexist with large lump-sum investments in depreciating assets. Enky offered a different structure. By splitting the Newman Street furniture across a lease and a subscription, WorkPad preserved cash flow, avoided a heavy upfront commitment, and built genuine flexibility into the fit-out from day one. The project was delivered well within its lead time and installed on schedule. The anchor tenant moved in on time without disruption. When timing matters as much as the furniture itself, delivery time is never an afterthought.

Newman Street is now a fully operational premium workspace in central London, ready for its anchor tenant today and ready to adapt for whoever comes next.
