Jonathan Carey Design

Based in Yorkshire, Jonathan Carey Design constructs corporate lobbies and hospitality workspaces through expressive non-orthogonal partitions, dark segmented joinery, and mirrored overhead surfaces that multiply light and spatial height. This body of work provides a clear reference when integrating media displays directly into living planted assemblies or specifying tactile, broken-counter reception entries for collaborative environments.

Geometry
A repeating sequence of open-framed pitched-roof booths arranged linearly against a textured dark wall.
Structural guess
Freestanding timber frame construction anchored to the floor.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled individual booths designed for small group seating.
Lighting
Focused downlighting from suspended pendants inside each booth, creating warm pools of light on the tables.
Atmosphere
Cozy and intimate within the structural frames, contrasting with the expansive hall.
Environmental context
Interior breakout space with dark textured stone-like wall cladding and patterned flooring.
Spatial experience
The pitched timber frames create a series of micro-architectural, intimate seating niches within a larger open hall.
Composition rhythm
Rhythmic repetition of identical gabled timber portals receding in perspective.
