Arne HQ
Birchwood
When ARNE needed a headquarters that would unite all their Head Office teams under one roof while embodying their minimalist aesthetic and uncompromising quality standards, they chose CubicWorks to engineer a space that represents “a unique fusion of fashion and architectural design.” Opening in February, this purpose-built headquarters in the North West serves as the creative epicenter where “product, content and culture come together” for Britain’s most dynamic clothing and footwear brand. We delivered a workspace that captures ARNE’s evolution from startup to global phenomenon, creating an environment where clothing concepts, content creation, and cultural identity are shaped in harmony with the physical environment around them.

We delivered “a refined, minimal and highly functional space that stays true to the ARNE brand” through what ARNE’s founder describes as a partnership that “brought that vision to life without compromise.” Our scope included purpose-built creative spaces where clothing concepts and content creation flourish, executive areas designed for a brand expanding into flagship retail locations at Liverpool ONE, integrated technology infrastructure supporting their rapid-growth business model, and collaborative environments where all Head Office teams operate seamlessly under one roof.
As ARNE’s founder noted: “The result is a space that feels distinctly ARNE, down to the last finish” – every element engineered to reflect their commitment to design precision and uncompromising quality standards.
This project demanded expertise far beyond typical fit-out work
ARNE needed “a unique fusion of fashion and architectural design” where cultural identity would be shaped in harmony with the physical environment. The challenge wasn’t simply creating office space, but engineering an environment that reflects who ARNE is as a brand while giving them the freedom to grow. ARNE’s vision, as their team explained, was “more than just clean and contemporary, it was rooted in design precision, brand integrity and a refusal to compromise.” Most contractors would struggle to understand how workspace design must align with fashion brand identity, but ARNE needed partners who could match their obsession with detail, form, and function – creating a headquarters as considered and confident as the brand itself.
The CubicWorks Difference
As Mark Wright, Director at CubicWorks, explained: “We approached the space the same way ARNE approaches its product – obsessing over detail, form and function. This wasn’t a typical fit out. It was a deeply collaborative design process that resulted in a space as considered and confident as the brand itself.”
Our 40+ years of collective problem-solving experience enabled us to understand ARNE’s standards, pace, and attention to detail. Rather than imposing solutions, we created a genuine partnership between ARNE’s in-house creatives and our design and delivery teams. ARNE’s team confirmed our approach worked: “their team understood our standards, our pace and our attention to detail” – demonstrating why we’re the experienced problem-solvers who can bring visionary brand concepts to life without compromise.
ARNE’s new headquarters now serves as the creative foundation for a brand experiencing remarkable growth, with our partnership extending to their upcoming flagship retail store at Liverpool ONE opening later this year. The headquarters demonstrates how thoughtful workspace design can embody brand values while enabling ambitious expansion plans. As the press coverage noted, this project “signals CubicWorks’ rise as a creative force in spatial design, redefining how brands connect with people through the environments they occupy.” The success has established us as specialists in creating spaces that achieve what ARNE sought – environments that reflect who they are as a brand while providing the freedom to grow. Most importantly, we’ve proven that exceptional British brands deserve workspace partners who share their commitment to design precision and uncompromising quality.
Collaborative Design for Visionary Brands
When you’re creating a unique fusion of fashion and architectural design, you need contractors who understand that exceptional brands require exceptional environments. Our ongoing partnership with ARNE – from headquarters to flagship retail at Liverpool ONE – demonstrates why we’re the experienced problem-solvers who can translate brand vision into built reality. We don’t just deliver fit-outs; we engineer collaborative design processes that result in spaces as considered and confident as the brands themselves, taking responsibility others won’t accept to redefine how exceptional companies connect with people through the environments they occupy.
