Relaxed and Informal Feel for Skyscanner’s New London Office

Skyscanner, the industry-leading travel search engine, had outgrown its temporary London home and set out an ambitious design brief for their new space. The challenge was clear: create team squad rooms that offer acoustic isolation for focused work while being flexible enough to open up for greater interaction.

Our design team collaborated closely with Skyscanner’s Creative Director to shape a space that would meet these needs and draw out the diverse talents and experiences of their ethos from around the world. 

The main reception is anchored by a bespoke timber desk that seamlessly transitions from a meet-and-greet area to a breakout space and serves as a bar for the 90-person lecture room. Planting plays a key role in the design, with pergolas and trailing greenery creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

Squad rooms are strategically placed around the perimeter to maximise natural light. These rooms, with large, double-glazed fold-flat doors and flexible configurations, can adapt to the teams’ needs. The 24,000 sq ft space spans the upper three floors of The Avenue building on Tottenham Court Road and offers a variety of alternative working environments.

Skyscanner’s signature table tennis space is at the heart of the workspace, a feature in every Skyscanner workspace.
