Chapman House – Arsenal FC, London.

Named after one of the most influential managers of English football, Herbert Chapman, the Chapman House is situated just outside the Emirates Stadium. Windows facing the stadium directly as a powerful backdrop perfectly curated artwork and murals, football related furniture and stationery- every detail of the new central London office is considered to the finest detail.

We were approached by 442 design in February 2018 with a request for help with a product specification for this premium workspace. 442 design has been previously working very closely with Arsenal FC designing the store fit-outs around the Emirates Stadium.

The designers at 442 were inspired by our case studies and approached us to harness our experience in designing complex lighting schemes for premium workplaces. Our team supported the Designers and the M&E Contractor throughout the design process with technical advice and product specification.

From putting forward suitable products for the client’s sign off and providing working samples, to full lighting design and lighting calculations. Our team also produced picture-like 3D renders to help the client visualise the space and the effect of the proposed lighting. The project was subject to strict brand guidelines featuring black general lighting and feature lighting whilst putting a strong emphasis on the quality of lighting.

We worked closely with the M&E contractor RED Group on delivering this relatively fast turnaround project.

The design brief was calling for black general office lighting to match the black open cell ceiling. The design scheme consisted of suspended lighting and track lighting.
