Fresha
Fresha chose The Bower for its new London headquarters. They embarked on a transformation of the 30,000 sq ft space to hold their 150 employees and allow space for their growing business.
The vision was simple. To create a workspace that reflects Fresha’s brand whilst respecting the history of the building and allowing room for the team to expand. The client wished to create a wellness-focused space that felt creative and personal.
We were approached by Loop Interiors to design a bespoke mesh ceiling that fulfilled the client’s vision and requirements.

The Client’s Vision
Fresha, a forward-thinking tech company, wanted a workspace that was not only high-performing and long-lasting but also reflected their core principles of innovation, design, and sustainability.
Loop Interiors approached this project with a clear goal in mind: refine and enhance rather than fully remodel. The aim was to maintain the building’s raw, industrial look while creating a more refined, sophisticated interior that promotes employee wellbeing and productivity.

Adding the Bespoke AC320 Ceiling
We were brought on board to design a custom mesh ceiling that addressed the project’s specific requirements. Working alongside the design team, we supplied precision-fabricated metal mesh panels that were created to fit around existing building services while maintaining a refined, modern appearance.
Our Zircon RB65 expanded mesh was chosen for a few reasons:
• Firstly, the client wanted to maintain openness, and this mesh offers visual transparency with a 73% open area.
• It allows seamless integration for services such as lighting, ventilation, and fire protection. The open area allowed the sprinklers to be mounted behind the mesh.
• To enhance the acoustic performance contributing to a more comfortable working environment.
Installation Challenges
Remodelling within an operational building provides unique problems, especially when working within an existing infrastructure. The ceiling grid was designed to accommodate pre-existing ductwork, lighting layouts, and irregular structural elements. Each panel was a custom size and fabricated to tight tolerances, ensuring a uniform fit across the expanse of the open-plan workspace.
Installation was carefully planned to coordinate with other teams to minimise disruption to Fresha’s operations. Our team worked closely with the project’s contractors and interior specialists to ensure smooth delivery and precise implementation on site.
The Finished Project
The finished ceiling complements the modern, dynamic feel of this space whilst adding functionality. The new ceiling system adds texture, depth and detail throughout the offices.
Fresha’s renovation shows the result of excellent collaborative design and specialist fabrication. We were delighted to be involved in this project and design a bespoke ceiling that enhanced the visual of the project.
