Built in 1485, the Old Palace at Hatfield House is one of England’s most historic buildings. Working with the estate property team, GDA designed a new lighting scheme using modern technology to enhance its Grand One listed features.

The result is sympathetic to the building without being intrusive, using architectural energy-saving luminaires comprising hand-blown crystal glass pendants and up lights to feature the gargoyles, eaves and window ledges.

The venue stages conferences, events and gatherings, weddings, celebrations and filming. On completion, we directed the photoshoot.

Commissioned to photograph newly refurbished apartments in a period residential property for sales and marketing purposes, we managed the shoot and art directed photographer Darrin Jenkins in supplying a portfolio of beautifully taken interior and exterior images.

The relocation of ITV Meridian’s television news studios from Southampton to a new £6.5m digital centre at Whiteley presented several challenges.

Working in close collaboration with ITV teams, our design reconfigured the internal spaces to create a modern, light-filled reception, an open-plan newsroom and a range of flexible breakout areas. The scheme incorporates energy-efficient lighting, high-quality contract furniture, large-format graphics and a refined colour palette.

A café-style breakout space adjoining an outdoor terrace provides an ideal setting for colleagues to focus, socialise and collaborate away from the pace of the newsroom.
