The journey and relationships we cultivate, make our work rewarding.
Our Wylde team are experienced and adaptable problem solvers, space strategists and experts in interior architecture. We work collaboratively with project partners, surveyors, landlords, developers, architects and fit-out companies, to name a few.
Tracey Wylde, our Director, founded Wylde in 1996, driven by a need to work flexibly around her growing family. But soon the growth in work and recommendations by clients meant that bringing on-board like-minded designers was essential.
Today we are a tight-knit, award-winning team lead by Tracey Wylde and Co-Director Amy Stone, the team are incredibly hard-working and professional but also like to have fun.

Partnerships
Whilst we’re happy to join a project team, we can also suggest specialists to work on each aspect of the design and installation. We have built up a group of trusted consultants and suppliers over the years. These are tried and tested companies and individuals that we can work with, specialising in the various disciplines to develop and deliver a successful project.

Acoustics
Acoustic treatment in the workplace has become more important as spaces have become more open plan and staff work more collaboratively, either in person or digitally over video or voice communication. Consequently noise levels have increased. We encourage clients to set aside some budget in the project cost to allow for these elements. They become an intrinsic part of the design and branding package on ceilings and walls.
Mechanical & Electrical
M&E is often 40-50% of the budget, and mostly you don’t even see it! It’s critical to get it right, working with a team that understand the design philosophy and what you’re trying to achieve is key. M&E affects the whole environment, controls the level of real and perceived comfort from temperature to lighting. It needs to fit in with the whole space whether it’s on show or not.
Lighting
Whilst lighting comes under the M&E budget it stands apart as a critical element that can make or break your project. So it is essential to find the right balance of cost and aesthetics and to work with a consultant who understands how to use light for the best effect.
Build
Again, finding the right partner is crucial when it comes to delivering your project. A conscientious contractor, who understands all the elements of construction and has a reliable team of subcontractors behind them, will make it possible to realise the full potential of the design in a timely and relatively stress free way.
Joinery
Quality and robustness are essential aspects of joinery that need to be delivered at the right price and on time. Good workmanship can go unnoticed, but poor workmanship does not. A reception desk or coffee bar are often centre stage, expressing the design concept and your brand.
Furniture
Furniture should be practical, ergonomic and aesthetic. It also needs to be flexible and re-configurable, and as it usually absorbs a large part of the budget it is important to work with a supplier you can trust will deliver good quality at an acceptable cost.
Branding & Wall Treatments
Branding is specific to your company and should be both aesthetic and practical. Co-ordinated colours, patterns and images are used to reinforce your brand, and define spaces and their uses.
Change Management
We can research your company’s existing ways of working and provide critical thinking, based on collected data, to help you reshape your working environment and culture. This might include integration of new technology into the workspace. Our skill is to translate analysis into design, and ideas into reality.
Our ‘Wylde Bird Series’ represents the team’s collective personality.
