Great Western Studios, Paddington, London
Great Western Studios is a vibrant canal-side workspace in Paddington, originally designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, and flexible working within a characterful industrial setting. The later expansion of the building introduced two additional floors, carefully integrated into the existing architecture while the studios remained occupied and operational throughout the construction process. Designed by Bryden Wood, the project sought to retain the distinctive identity of the building while enhancing the sense of openness, natural light, and connectivity between spaces.
The new floors continue the building’s contemporary industrial aesthetic, combining exposed structural elements with warm and durable finishes suited to a busy creative environment. Large windows and open-plan layouts maximise daylight and provide views across the surrounding area and canal, reinforcing the collaborative atmosphere that Great Western Studios has become known for.
As part of the extension works, Microtopping® was selected as the floor finish for the new upper levels, helping to create a seamless and modern surface throughout the workspace. Its continuous appearance and refined concrete aesthetic complemented the architectural language of the project while also providing the durability required for high-traffic commercial use. Microtopping® was also applied across the four staircases connecting the new floors, visually linking the spaces together and enhancing the flow between levels. The result is a cohesive and contemporary interior that respects the industrial character of the original building while introducing a clean and sophisticated finish appropriate for modern creative studios.
