Step inside COBALT’s chic new serviced office space in Cardiff
FROM LUXURY DESIGN TO ULTRA-FAST INTERNET, COBALT’S NEW OFFICE SPACE COULD BE THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOUR BUSINESS’ NEXT STEP
COBALT’S vision was to create a serviced office space beyond compare.
The brief was simple - the space needed to be considered, elegant, and clean in design - bringing an opulent and luxurious feel to a workspace their members could be proud of. From the outset, it was vital to them that they created an environment that focuses on members’ wellbeing and productivity.
To achieve this, COBALT took advantage of its south-easterly front elevation, ensuring every office suite benefitted from an abundance of natural light with the majority being fitted with 2.4m-high windows.
COBALT felt that there was a lot to offer as a brand, and it was crucial to leverage both the scientific and design connotations throughout the project.
Externally, the striking COBALT blue cladding fin on the front elevation provides an obvious visual connection to the brand. On the inside, the annex that houses the co-working space was set off from the main building at a 27 degree angle – the atomic number of COBALT in the periodic table, resulting in the name Lounge27.
COBALT set out to make the space entirely unique, and believe they have delivered on their vision. COBALT was built to provide the perfect environment for modern businesses.
Each architectural choice reflects that, with a layout optimised for efficiency, grandiose 2.4m-high doors throughout, spacious office suites, ultra-fast internet, and easy access to amenities.
The space is the all-round package for businesses who demand more from their office space. COBALT believes good design can be an endless source of inspiration, which is why COBALT believe its members shouldn’t have to settle for anything less than style when it comes to their office space.
COBALT has been created with a focus on luxury. Sprinkled with premium materials such as Henry Blake antique brass door fittings and designer furniture from Frovi and Allermuir, every detail has been considered. Their focus on wellbeing means all office suites benefit from ergonomic electronically height-adjustable sit/stand desks.

COBALT is a home for its members to connect, collaborate and co-exist in harmony.
In the pursuit to create a sensory experience, COBALT has a bespoke fragrance that permeates the communal areas and has embraced biophilic design philosophy by hand-selecting scores of plants to bring the space to life and improve indoor air quality.
COBALT believes the environment you work in makes a difference, so they’ve raised the bar of what’s possible from a workspace by integrating technology and connectivity throughout the building in a seamless manner.
The device no-one leaves their home, car, or desk without is their phone. COBALT members don’t have to carry a lanyard around their neck, or a fob on their keyring – their phones are always with them, so they’ve always got their mobile credentials to hand.
The access control system is just one of many examples of how COBALT has elevated the member experience for the modern workplace.
