Project details

Creating the largest NikeTown in the world.

Our design and management skills spanned all aspects of the project.

By taking a fresh look at London’s architecture we came up with a radical mix of references for NikeTown, from a red brick football building to a futuristic glass golf pavilion.

For the centrepiece, our design team worked with full-scale mock-ups to create a unique ‘town crier’ messaging device that appears to float in NikeTown square, regularly erupting with sound and light.

2011 lighting commission
Following on from the original project, in 2011 we were again commissioned - this time for lighting only, where we created bespoke decorative light in the form of various Nike products.

The client found our single point service a brilliantly effective way to manage the project.
