Easily distracted and unable to complete any of the tasks your manager assigns you on a given day? Well, perhaps it's time to rethink your remote working setup. And trust me, you won't be the only one to consider swapping your at-home days with something else — or shall I say... something better? — after peaking at the interiors of the Tabitha Isobel-designed Conductor, a newly unveiled creative workspace located at URW's Coppermaker Square in Stratford, East London.

A collaboration with the architects of Studio Multi, the hub, operated by IWG, is an airy, inspiring 1970s-style dream office. A palette of earthy tones and pastel greens is revived by occasional, acid pops of chartreuse, timber coffered ceilings, paint-washed, industrial-cool piping, and sci-fiesque, suffused light installations hover above people's heads. And so do the semi-transparent, wavy panels that, turning sunshine into the key feature of the address's central atrium, merge the inside and the outside.
