Client Brief

Hudl were an existing client of Rap Interiors after they appointed our team to complete their initial London office fit out in 2017. The client wanted to work with Rap Interiors again to implement their new high-end office interior design scheme to refresh their workspace and entice staff back into the office following the impacts of Covid. They wanted to update the space with a new lease of life, injecting yet more of the company’s culture, vision and branding. Hudl also required an additional meeting space as well as a new layout to accommodate more desking and free-standing booths.

Our Office Refurbishment Solution

Our projects team communicated weekly with our American based clients, via video conferencing, in order to oversee and manage every stage of the project effectively. This was key in ensuring the execution of high-level detail and features within the refurbishment, whilst also keeping their offices operational, managing a live site working around employees coming into the offices three days a week.

In the original office fit out, one corner had a relaxed meeting space and break out area which wasn’t fully utilised.  As a solution the area was reconfigured and partitioned off with a glass sliding door with branded manifestation, creating a private meeting room and therefore optimising the use of the space.  The meeting room had a new poseur height meeting table and seating installed, as well as integrated technology to facilitate video calls.

Within the main office area, a bright orange mesh ceiling raft originally spanned across a wide area of the ceiling.  This was taken down and adapted to make it narrower and run along the walkways either side of the central booth seating, mirroring the running track on the floor.  The narrower and streamlined ceiling rafts highlight and echo the walk ways, guiding the occupants through the space as they move about their day to day office activities.

New flooring was installed throughout, alongside new feature lighting and office furniture solutions. The office benefitted from new poseur height collaboration tables and stools, whilst their existing height adjustable desks were sustainably re-used for their hot desking operations.

Existing booth seating was adjusted and repositioned to allow more space for freestanding video conferencing booths.  As Hudl’s London office is part of the brands global network, the additional booths enable the team to participate in meeting taking place anywhere in the world. Each booth were named after British sporting icons, continuing the theme from the original office fit out.

The seat pads in the fixed booths were re-covered with a hard wearing black faux leather finish ensuring longevity. The new positions of the booths created a void between two booths that initially was planned to be filled with a purpose built graphics wrapped hollow column.  During this office refurbishment process, our projects team suggested the column could be better utilised for storage which the client liked.  The column was then designed to be a two door cupboard with hidden catch releases. The cupboard was made from plywood so the planned graphics could still be applied.

New decorative features emphasise the company’s culture and branding, seen in the pennant flags hung on American limed oak using specific black screws, highlighting the attention to detail within the office interior design scheme. The carefully considered design is also evidenced in the exact positioning of the lines on the racetrack, to include the oche for the dartboard.

New feature walls were added throughout the space transforming blank walls with bold eye-catching graphics. The statement focal points reinforce the brand image throughout the offices whilst creating an engaging and inspirational workspace.

The existing breakout area was defined further by enclosing the space with the addition of a new wall dividing the space between the breakout area and main office.  A bespoke wall mounted media unit was built including specific design details such as metal edging framing the TV area within the wall. Further features include a metal cut out map decal window to one side of the TV, looking through into the main office.  The map lines up with the wall graphic on the opposite side of the wall which includes a map of the local area where the office is located on it. To the other side of the TV, motivational acrylic text adds further exquisite design features and focal points within the space, once again emphasising the company’s ethos and culture.
