Distinct shades of green, orange and blue give character to this workplace<\/a>, designed by Emil Eve Architects<\/a> for the production company behind TV shows including the BBC’s Doctor Foster and Netflix’s One Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drama Republic<\/a> gave Emil Eve<\/a> the task of refurbishing its office in London’s Holborn.<\/p>\n

The redesign gives the company a more homey workspace, combining a mid-century-inspired colour palette with textural materials including oak and fluted glass.<\/p>\n

“This is a working office, but also needs to be pleasant for clients to visit,” said Emma Perkin, Emil Eve co-founder.<\/p>\n

“We had to create a design that was practical but also welcoming and comfy,” she told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Often workplaces have a very limited palette; we consciously introduced a mid-century mix of greens, blues and oranges against warm white walls and natural wood. The slightly muted shades mean it’s bright but still calm.”<\/p>\n

\"Meeting

Drama Republic’s brief called for a mix of flexible work areas, including large desks for collaborative working, meeting rooms that support video conferencing, and lounge areas where staff can take calls or read through scripts.<\/p>\n

Emil Eve replanned the office layout to improve the flow between these different spaces.<\/p>\n

\"Lobby

The architects were keen to reuse existing materials and furniture where possible, so glass partitions that surrounded the previous meeting rooms were simply moved in line with the new floor plan.<\/p>\n

A lobby was created, with new partitions designed to match the proportions of the existing ones. These were crafted from Sapele, an African hardwood with a warm reddish-brown tone.<\/p>\n

\"Desks

Storage was also installed, in custom-made wall units that provide bookshelves and hidden cupboards.<\/p>\n

“The office has really good natural light but had never been properly organised, so it felt cramped and ad-hoc,” said Perkin.<\/p>\n
