Bruntwood SciTech - West Village, Leeds

Creating a nature-inspired innovation hub that supports wellness and productivity in the heart of Leeds

Bruntwood SciTech’s West Village development in Leeds has redefined what a co-work space can be. A visionary redevelopment combining two buildings into a single, cohesive innovation hub, West Village is now a thriving home for science and tech companies looking to grow and collaborate. 

With a strong focus on biophilic design, wellness amenities, and flexible, open-plan spaces, the development has garnered recognition by winning the North Region British Council for Offices (BCO) Corporate Workplace Award for 2025 and will now compete for the national accolade later in the year. 

With natural light, greenery, and materials that bring the outdoors in, West Village’s design is anchored in biophilic principles, which were specifically commended by the BCO awards’ judging panel. 

The central courtyard has been reimagined as a vibrant communal space, while the open-plan entrance offers enhanced food and beverage options, wellness facilities, and informal meeting areas. It’s now more than just a place to work — it’s a destination that meets the needs of modern, forward-thinking businesses.

IE helped Bruntwood deliver this inspiring transformation by providing furniture solutions that align with West Village’s ethos of wellness, sustainability, and community connection. Working closely with the project team, we helped craft workspaces that are as beautiful as they are functional, supporting the productivity, comfort, and creativity of the people who use them every day.

The success of West Village illustrates how design, when executed with purpose and vision, can lead to vibrant co-working environments that support the wellbeing and growth of passionate working professionals. 

At Insightful Environments, we’re proud to have been part of Bruntwood SciTech’s project, which is helping shape the future of work, and to see our work recognised alongside that of our partners.
