After two decades at their Bayham Street office in Camden, set over several floors, Getty Images were looking for a new home. The key objective was to establish a new London HQ the next decade, moving to a single-storey space was key to enabling better communication, collaboration, and flexible working within teams.

Project Size

Contract Type
Design & Build
Moving from fixed desking ‘Hotel desks’ - active working allowed Getty Images to work in an efficient and productive way, successfully functioning on a smaller square footage. At just over 11,000 sq/ft the 6th floor at the Duo offers a home for each department of the business from editing through to facilities. Built-in phone booths, bookable offices and considered breakout spaces disrupt the interior landscape in a broken plan concept.
OW-N were appointed by Getty Images to consult and advise on the furniture selection at 280 Bishopsgate. Working alongside Bluebottle, OW-N were able to curate a furniture package which delivered the design intent of the scheme and provided a package which was de-risked, in-keeping with the design intent of the scheme and delivered on budget within programme.
Furniture was sourced from over twenty-five suppliers globally, OW-N produced the final furniture schedule and project managed the delivery and installation of all furniture items..
Testimonial from Zelda Hogg - Snr. Director, Global Facilities at Getty Images.
“I am in no doubt that our decision to appoint OW-N was a key factor in the overall success of our project. The team were excellent at interpreting the design brief and we are thrilled with the end result. OW-N delivered a scheme that has an abundance of style and substance whilst always respecting our requirement for strong cost management. Their collaborative and solutions focussed approach was critical in the final stages of the project when they worked alongside the rest of the professional team to ensure that all the elements of the fit-out came together on time and to the highest standard.”
