Revitalising Lionsgate: Creating a Cinematic Workspace of Creativity and Collaboration

Location: London

Lionsgate is globally renowned for its compelling entertainment offerings. It approached Woodalls to revamp its existing headquarters to better reflect its unique brand identity, reinforce its position as an industry titan, and inspire its employees and guests to push creative boundaries.  

The existing Lionsgate office was dated and did not offer functionality, social or communal areas; something integral for its projects with multiple teams, partners, and industry leaders coming together. Part of the new vision was to address this and underpin a sense of community, collaboration, and creativity. 

To understand the unique needs of its people and processes, we conducted extensive workshops embedding ourselves into the Lionsgate culture. After its sub-tenant moved out of the office, we took the opportunity to reevaluate the existing floor plan and layout, to craft a workspace that would accommodate more teams and incorporate the social and collaborative settings Lionsgate desired. 

Our goal was to enhance functionality and collaboration, drive productivity, and capture the cinematic essence of the brand; to create a space it could be proud of.

The revamped workplace effectively incorporates various spaces to foster a culture of connectivity and promote cross-collaboration; reflecting the true spirit of Lionsgate. From a functional point of view, we enhanced the office layout to improve circulation and establish more versatile and flexible social spaces. A new Business Lounge provides a dynamic area for guests and employees alike to host meetings, events, town halls, and larger industry gatherings. In addition, the transformed workplace incorporates a variety of settings such as dedicated workstations, and informal meeting areas.

One striking feature of the headquarters is the transformed reception area that seamlessly blends the vibrant Lionsgate brand with motion-inspired design elements. Large screens immerse visitors from the moment they enter the office while bold splashes of brand colours and film-inspired materials exemplify Lionsgate's position as a leader in the entertainment industry.

Woodalls' dedication to environmental responsibility was upheld through practical and sustainable design solutions including repurposing furniture, fixtures, and materials throughout; from revitalising doors to rejuvenating existing fittings, like the old tea point. 

The final design captures the cinematic essence of the brand and elevates the Lionsgate workspace to a new standard of functionality and purpose. It blends bold design with dynamic, film-inspired elements to ignite imagination and promote unity. Woodalls successfully reimagined the Lionsgate office, crafting a visually captivating and inviting environment that reflects the brand's vibrancy and creativity.
