Inspired by limitless possibilities and innovation, the Ford Makerspace was designed as a dynamic commercial interior that fosters creativity, collaboration and hands-on learning. Delivered by Cachet Group, the project blends workshop functionality with contemporary workplace design to create a flexible, future-focused environment.
Building on a strong partnership with Ford, Cachet were engaged to accelerate the delivery of this purpose-built innovation hub. The Makerspace brings together multiple typologies within one cohesive office fitout, including a large tiered seating area, six dedicated workstations, flexible training spaces and a fully equipped 3D studio. The result is a hybrid environment that supports ideation, prototyping and knowledge sharing.
A defining feature of the space is the tiered seating forum, designed to accommodate up to 60 people. This central zone enables large-scale training sessions, presentations and collaborative workshops, creating an energetic setting that encourages participation and creative thinking.
The commercial interior design balances industrial materiality with playful brand expression. Pops of colour and graphic elements are layered against a backdrop of natural timber and raw concrete finishes, creating a space that feels both grounded and energised. Operable walls and adaptable furniture systems allow the environment to be reconfigured with ease, supporting a wide range of uses from focused work to group learning.
Designed to evolve alongside Ford’s needs, the Makerspace acts as a catalyst for innovation – supporting new ideas, new technologies and new ways of working within the automotive sector.
