Office relocation for TomTom London

TomTom are a mapping and navigation technology specialist, and one of our Clients for Life. Our first project with TomTom was back in 2012 when we refurbished their office in Euston Tower. Since then, the company has streamlined the way they work and decided to relocate to 90 Whitfield Street. Their new 3,500 sq ft office is in the sublet of G&W Freightliner which is an office that we designed towards the end of 2017.

This office relocation was about moving into a space that would give their people a more connected environment which could support their strong community culture. We kept the office bright and open with pockets of collaboration areas, desking and meeting spaces. We were able to maximise the flow of natural light throughout the office by limiting the use of solid partitions.

The theme we introduced into the space was a play on East London meets West London. This became a balance between residential and industrial elements, keeping a clean modern design with urban details introduced throughout the space. We removed ceiling tiles to help break up the space and installed plants, timber and soft seating to create a calm, informal workspace. The meeting rooms were inspired by the surrounding area to resemble the facades of traditional pubs. This was a way to add character to the space and bring something unique that reflected TomTom’s new location.
