The Stride.VC office space design is the anti -venture capital office. In a sector were opulence is the norm, this space embraces the concept of wabi sabi, finding beauty in imperfection and simplicity. Rather than striving for luxury, the design celebrates the elegance of basic functionality and understated serenity. Each element reflects the team's ethos, emphasizing unity, necessity, and near-perfect execution. Consistent with Stride.VC's professional approach, the design embodies simplicity, functionality, performance, efficiency, and integrity.



The Stride.VC office design draws inspiration from Danish and Japanese principles, honoring nature and craftsmanship. Functionality, durability, and comfort are paramount, with materials blurring spatial boundaries to create a sense of expansiveness.

Each area serves a distinct purpose, guiding occupants through transitions of thought. At the heart of the space stands an olive tree, symbolizing unity amidst harmony. Walking through, one experiences a profound calm, fostering mindfulness and presence.

Timeless and nurturing, the design elicits a sense of connection—to oneself, to the companies Stride.VC invests in, and to the team's passion. It is a space that respects tradition, perception, and the power of the present moment.



The Stride.VC office design is purposefully curated, with each floor serving a distinct function. The ground floor promotes community and open conversation, enhancing creative thought. Moving up, the first floor is dedicated to focused planning and meetings, while the top floor provides a space for deep, introspective work. As occupants ascend, the atmosphere transitions from collaborative to contemplative, reflecting the progression of thought and purpose.

Situated in London’s bustling Marylebone district, this space acts as a magnetic force, drawing minds from all corners of the globe. Once a Victorian school for local children, its metamorphosis into a hub of global intellectual exchange symbolizes its enduring legacy as a place where diverse perspectives converge, ideas flourish, and connections are forged across borders and cultures.
