ForumSphere
As part of the refurbishment of the historic Twickenham Studios, Sphere8 worked alongside the design team at Barbarella Studio to deliver an award-winning ForumSphere resin flooring installation. Combining the appearance of polished concrete with a bespoke red resin feature, the finished floor creates a striking focal point while complementing the building's contemporary redesign.
Twickenham Studios is a well-known creative venue with a long history in the film and television industry. During its refurbishment, the brief was to create a welcoming entrance that reflected the studio's modern identity while respecting the character of the existing building.
The client wanted the appearance of polished concrete throughout the ground floor lobby but also envisioned a bold design feature that would connect the boardroom with the entrance. To achieve this, Sphere8 developed a bespoke red resin feature that appears to flow down the staircase into the reception area, creating the effect of a poured puddle within the seamless floor.
Using our ForumSphere flooring system, we produced an imitation polished concrete finish that contrasts with the vibrant red resin. The bespoke pigment was carefully matched to the studio's corporate branding, ensuring the finished installation aligned with the overall interior design.
The completed project demonstrates the flexibility of resin flooring, combining decorative design with a durable, seamless finish suitable for busy commercial environments. The installation was recognised with the FeRFA Small Commercial Project of the Year 2015 award, highlighting the innovative approach taken by the project team.
