About this listen

In the second episode of That Workplace Experience Podcast, host Dan Moscrop steps inside One Great Cumberland Place, the new head office of The Portman Estate, overlooking Marble Arch in the western corner of Marylebone.

Joined by Michael Jones (The Portman Estate) and Joe Mac Mahon (Gort Scott), Dan explores how the design was led not by trends — but by the Estate’s core values.

Together, they discuss values-led design, the weaving of heritage into a modern scheme, the balance between preservation and intervention, and how a simple kitchen became the heartbeat of the workplace.
