ID:SR’s multi-phased refurbishment of Channel 4’s iconic headquarters has succeeded in creating a socially vibrant, collaborative workplace for Channel 4 employees, in keeping with the culture of an organisation that resists the constraints of corporate culture. In addition to improving the working environment and future proofing the building infrastructure, the building’s occupancy has been increased by over 50%, consolidating Channel 4 staff into the headquarters.
The refurbishment of the headquarters required a thoughtful, edgy, and above all vibrant and creative solution to both maximise the use of the building and to ensure that the brand, values and culture of Channel 4 are fully reflected in the working environment. The headquarters is an award-winning Richard Rogers building and so ID:SR’s design also needed to be sympathetic to its original concept and aesthetic. Undertaken in 36 phases, it is no mean feat that the project has been delivered step-by-step during full occupation while maintaining business continuity.
