DESIGN INSPIRATION
TalkTalk’s former headquarters in The White Building in London has been adapted several times to suit the changing brand and needs of their business. The building was designed by the renowned architect, Richard Found and original exposed pre-cast concrete and dark bembe flooring features have been retained but an injection of colour was needed to make the space more in line with TalkTalk’s brand and break up the corporate aesthetic. Their colourful neon brand colours are reflected in the bright manifestation and collaborative soft seating areas. There is a multitude of spaces to collaborate from the brainstorm areas with their write-on walls, to high back media units and hot benches. Fun images of cupcakes and rockets have been selected for the meeting rooms to reflect the playful nature of the brand.
