After almost a decade of operation it was decided that the Sky Studios reception area needed to more contemporary, brighter and have a more inviting feel.

It was decided to introduce a fragmented linear lighting approach which would create a bold feature as the overall design of the space.

To add further depth and perspective, the main staircase link to the upper floors incorporates Pixel LED strips mounted to the edge of the risers, which runs a series of programmable sequences.

Based on the studios being used for news and sport, the design team incorporated large showcases which featured items from sporting events.

Under the main staircase a Formula 1 car is displayed, which is top lit by a large programmable light box and a series of track mounted studio lighting fixtures fitted with 3000K (warm) LED.

The lighting design helps to reflect the nature of the building being a television broadcast centre as well as helping to open up the space and give an inviting dynamic quality.
