Sky Studios
Showcasing Carbon Reduction
Sky Studios Elstree is a new, state-of-the-art film and TV studio based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. With 13 sound stages set
across 27.5 acres this world-class facility is now home to a range of productions from across the world.
The project brief was to reduce the volume of furniture purchased from new through the purchase of high quality pre-loved/second life furniture items. This in turn reduced the manufacture of new items, use of virgin resources and harmful impacts on nature
We were delighted to showcase the benefits of local partnerships and a fundamentally new way of furnishing supported by JPA in-house warranty and maintenance support for peace of mind.
Circularity and product longevity are key to carbon reduction in workspace fit-out, often also saving significant costs.
Client Feedback
“As part of our sustainability credentials and being keen to partner with local suppliers we have been delighted to partner with JPA workspaces for the supply of all our office furniture at Sky Studios Elstree production and administration buildings.
We worked with JPA workspaces to source end of line, second hand other
existing furniture to ensure that we did not consume additional carbon to
produce new furniture, ensured protection did not use single-use plastics,
and were delivered in a sustainable way.
The team have been very helpful, patient and collaborative in helping us secure the sustainable furniture we needed to help achieve our environmental goals.”
