Artigo by Chroma

Arches, playful portholes and curved partitions are used throughout this RIBA Award winning nursery. Sustainable materials were prioritised: timber-framed, pine-faced plywood walls, rubber flooring and other low VOC finishes were carefully selected. The choices were purposefully made to ensure that the young children spending time in the space were surrounded by the most environmentally friendly materials.

A contemporary workplace organised around gradients of attention—quiet, acoustically controlled focus zones; structured, high-performance meeting rooms; and informal, collaborative hubs—unified through a loose-lay rubber tile system.The flooring acts as both infrastructure and signal: loose-lay rubber tiles provide acoustic absorption, underfoot comfort and long-term durability, and help create transitions between concentrated work, formal exchange and spontaneous interaction; registered through calibrated changes in material rhythm, lighting intensity and integrated brand detailing. This allowed the working environment to remain spatially coherent while functionally adaptable.The floor strategy aimed to support reconfiguration, reduced lifecycle disruption and performance maintenance across high-traffic zones, all while reinforcing identity through controlled material variation rather than superficial surface treatment.

Ninja Theory is a BAFTA-winning game developer based in Cambridge, UK. Tala Fustok Studio worked to create “a truly radical workspace” comprising three floors that nurture and grow creativity. Working areas are colour defined; secluded seating nests work as breakout rooms with an ambition to move away from the standard working office feel. The project features 665 sqm of Uni rubber flooring in U110 shade.
