Brewhouse Yard

Creation of a new studio environment in a late 19th century brewery building.

The spatial concept was simple; create a studio environment to support and encourage teamwork and innovation.

Two fundamental principles were adopted; there are no private offices, and all professional staff work on large format team platforms.

create a studio environment for BDP’s creative staff
employ all the new ways of working we advocate for our clients including no cellular offices even for the top directors
preserve the character of 130 year-old building

the studio environment supports and encourages teamwork and innovation
the large main ‘hub’ space onthe ground floor is so successful as a social meeting space that outside organisations are queuing up to use it
