Hutch Games

Our collaboration with the Hutch team commenced in 2018 with the design and construction of their initial London headquarters in the tech hub of Shoreditch. Since then, we’ve remained their trusted workplace partner, aiding in office expansions across multiple floors in Shoreditch and even extending our support to Nova Scotia as they venture into Canada.

Well-being and innovation: crafting the signature Hutch workplace experience

In shaping their Shoreditch offices, our aim was to craft a bold workplace that accentuated the existing character of the warehouse style building and portrayed Hutch as industry leading innovators.

Analysing the team’s work patterns and interdepartmental collaborations, we devised an intelligent space plan tailored to their needs.

Our design not only aimed at creating an efficient office but also a place for relaxation, collaborate and inspire. Along with break out areas and open kitchen space, we specifically created a well-being room to give staff a private space that isn’t a meeting room, fostering a positive culture and open communication.

Navigating the constraints of the former warehouse presented challenges in achieving acoustic balance amid exposed brickwork and vaulted wood beam ceilings. The pivotal solution involved employing suspended acoustic screens to mitigate reverberation and background noise. These screens not only addressed acoustic concerns but also played a dual role, partitioning the space and forming cozy pockets for smaller team collaborations. The bespoke laser-cut screens were even personalised with the distinctive Hutch logo.

Client challenges

Hutch aimed to cultivate an engaging, energising and well-being-centric workspace to attract top-tier tech talent in London’s competitive market.

Ensuring a cohesive and branded aesthetic throughout the workspace that aligns with Hutch’s innovative image.
