Global payments provider Paysafe hired workplace design firm Oktra to design their new office in London, England.

“When Paysafe envisioned their new London headquarters at Two Gresham Street, they wanted a workspace that would energise their teams, foster collaboration and reflect their brand’s vibrant identity. To bring this vision to life, Paysafe partnered with Oktra, working together to deliver a highly functional and inspiring space that supports their evolving workplace strategy.

Paysafe were looking to create an enticing and cohesive environment that connects seamlessly with the client-facing areas on the first floor of the building, while elevating the employee experience on the ground floor.

The build introduced a new, internal staircase, strategically placed to create a natural flow between the two floors. More than just a way to move between working areas, the staircase serves as a physical and symbolic bridge between teams, encouraging interaction and collaboration throughout the workspace. For a company committed to fostering employee connection, it became a cornerstone of the project, embodying the idea of seamless communication in a shared environment.

Transforming the ground floor of Two Gresham Street into a lively, multifunctional ‘destination’ office included the installation of key features such as the quiet zones, cinema room and library. We also oversaw the integration of unique elements like the swings—a playful addition that embodies Paysafe’s innovative culture and adds energy to the workspace. Through meticulous planning and execution, we ensured the ground floor catered to a variety of needs, from relaxed one-on-one meetings to large-scale events in the versatile all-hands area.

Paysafe’s commitment to inclusivity and sustainability played a central role in the build process. Accessible features such as the DDA-compliant teapoint, wellness rooms and quiet zones ensure the space is inclusive for all employees. Additionally, to support Paysafe’s sustainability goals, the build prioritised the use of local, sustainably sourced materials and promoted both low embodied and operational carbon design.

The space has become a true reflection of the company’s values and vision—a workspace that is both inspiring and practical, where employees can choose the environments that work best for them. It’s a place designed to encourage connections, support a variety of work styles, and ultimately enhance how the team collaborates and innovates every day”
