Inside Sky Believe in Better Building
Sky Central, Osterley: Over 3,500 employees are based in the building, which has been designed to promote flexibility, openness and ease of access.

For these projects we focus on environments that combine performance and abundant amenities with design that enhance overall wellbeing.

At Sky's headquarters, Sky Central, we collaborated on the design of a contemporary workplace, consolidating 3,500 staff members in a single building. The design encompasses an array of services and amenities, including diverse restaurants and cafes, a 200-seat cinema, a versatile event space, and a technology 'lounge,' fostering a vibrant and dynamic work atmosphere conducive to creativity and collaboration.

At the heart of the design is the innovative long-span roof, featuring deep beams spanning up to 21 meters: with 'plug-in' mezzanines, ramps, and stairs the facility encourages staff circulation and interaction, resulting in spontaneous collaborations. Even within this expansive site, the HVAC strategy verified by our building physics team ensures thermal comfort while minimising energy consumption.
