Met Studio to relax Virgin

Virgin Atlantic Airways has appointed Met Studio to create interiors for its new-build headquarters in Crawley.

Virgin Atlantic currently houses its staff in three separate buildings. The new HQ, designed by architect PDP and being built by Richard Branson’s development company Vanson, will have two reception areas, a staff restaurant and six social areas.

Met Studio has been briefed to create a diverse and relaxed, non-corporate environment. The reception areas will feature specially commissioned artwork, with the larger of the two used as a temporary exhibition space.
