Working Title have just moved into their new 10,000 sq ft office. In close collaboration with the client, we worked on the total re-design of the film production company’s London HQ.
As well as office space, the building includes a screening room, meeting rooms, outdoor terrace areas, a dining room and a bar.
It was a joy to work with the entire team and I thank them for their vision, willingness to experiment and their constant supply of LA exported sweets.

The interior design brief was a design-led space befitting the leading UK film production company, a dynamic powerhouse. The building had to make use of the extensive daylight, with punches of bold primary colours throughout. Suzy Hoodless worked with specialists throughout the project to achieve a high level of both design and quality.
Wide oak boards are laid throughout the building to give a warm and more residential atmosphere. Large glass walls divide the space whilst retaining the light. The ceilings are exposed with the utilities sprayed out, an industrial warehouse feel. The pendant lighting is the iconic Glo Ball by Jasper Morrison for Flos.
The furniture is a combination of bespoke upholstery, vintage pieces found by Suzy from auctions in the US and Scandinavia, as well as pieces from contemporary British and Italian manufacturers.
Lighting was supplied by Modular, a combination of overall light as well as specific task lighting.
Suzy Hoodless worked with concrete manufacturers in Essex to achieve the colossal bespoke concrete reception desk.
Each employee had various design options in terms of both usability of their space and finishes. Each were carefully masterminded to achieve a look that was both personal to each employee but consistent throughout. Suzy Hoodless worked with west London based manufacturers Windmill Furniture on the design and production of the individual desks, all entirely bespoke.
Individual freestanding cabinets as well as built in floor to ceiling cabinets and shelving systems were designed by Suzy Hoodless and manufactured by Cumberland Construction, each individually sprayed for the relevant space.
The screening room was fitted out with bespoke screening chairs manufactured in Italy with a combination of different colour leathers supplied by leading leather suppliers Bill Amberg. Midnight blue fabric walls and black carpet complete the handsome interior.
The top floor dining room has a bespoke Italian kitchen, as well as industrial pendants, large stained oak reclaimed refectory tables and the indestructible aluminium Navy chair designed in 1944 for the US Navy.
