That Workplace Experience Podcast
That Workplace Experience Podcast explores how exceptional workplaces come to life — and the people behind them. Hosted by Dan Moscrop, Founder and CEO of THEM, this series uncovers the powerful connection between brand, building, and culture, showing how well-designed spaces can transform not only day-to-day working, but businesses as a whole. With a case-study approach, each fortnight Dan visits standout workplaces and speaks with the architects, interior designers, occupiers, developers, and leaders who brought them to life. Together, they unpack the full journey — from the original brief and key design decisions to the measurable impact on employee experience and business performance.
If you’re interested in how workplaces can connect your people to your purpose and your brand to your building, That Workplace Experience Podcast is your guide to the future of office design.

Nicola Rutt: Industrial Rehab and transforming old buildings
With International Women's Day this weekend, who better to talk to than Nicola Rutt of HawkinsBrown. At the time on writing Nicola was recently shortlisted for the W Award (formerly Women in Architecture Award) and for the MJ Long Prize for her and her team’s incredible work on Here East.
With a passion for the creative re-use of buildings, Nicola specialises in bringing underused, unloved properties back to life with a focus on designing spaces that bring people together and foster innovation.
In this episode, we talk about the pros and cons of refurbishing existing industrial structures, rather than starting from scratch, how to go about working on such large-scale projects, how to inject identity into a building which lacks one, and how to create an environment which will hopefully end up being ‘cool’ – without trying to force it.
