For Loom Games’ new office, our aim was to create a workplace that reflects the story of a game studio that grew rapidly into a unicorn, while supporting the creative culture and strong sense of community behind that growth—without turning its colourful world into an overt theme.
The office is shaped around different ways of working, moving naturally between focus and interaction. Open workspaces are supported by meeting rooms, focus areas, and service spaces to create a calm and spacious everyday working environment, while social spaces and gathering points of different scales are placed along the areas with the strongest views of the city. An amphitheatre, communal worktables, lounge areas, and smaller work niches accommodate everything from individual work and team meetings to informal encounters and larger events. Flexibility was an important part of this approach, allowing spaces to be reconfigured, opened up, or separated as needs change.
The material language provides a warm and calm backdrop to this activity. Exposed concrete surfaces and visible technical infrastructure are balanced with light-toned timber, textiles, and soft, rounded geometries. Against this restrained setting, Loom’s colourful and playful world begins to appear through objects and details designed specifically for the space. The pig characters from Pixel Flow are reimagined at different scales as sculptural pieces, acoustic lighting elements, and seating, while the connecting and untangling ropes of Loom’s first game, Twisted Tangle, become a playable installation that people can interact with directly. The Loom logo also finds its way into the office in different forms—from a sculptural piece at the entrance to suspended lighting elements and poufs in the flexible meeting areas. The team’s creative and geek culture is reflected more informally through books, figures, and objects that we selected together.
The result is a warm, calm, and inviting workplace that supports both focused work and social life, while allowing Loom’s creativity to become part of the space. With daylight, city views, and spaces that shift in character throughout the day, the office becomes less of a fixed backdrop and more of a flexible setting that grows and changes with the team.
