Flutter Entertainment Office, Leeds

Global gaming giant, Flutter Entertainment, best known for its portfolio of leading international brands, including Sky Betting & Gaming, Paddy Power, PokerStars and Betfair, hired workplace design and build specialists, TSK Group, to deliver their new 136,000 sq ft global office at 4 Wellington Place, Leeds.

Flutter wanted their new environment to be adaptable and allow people to do their best work, supporting employees’ evolving work activities, and empowering their people to change the space on demand to suit their purpose. The design process began by looking at the shape of the building. The sharp triangular nature of the building presented a challenge but lent itself to creating consistent spaces within each floor. As you journey through the eight floors of Flutter Entertainment’s office, there’s an inherent sense of brand celebration, encouraging staff to feel proud of their collective achievements and connected to the business.

On the working floors, a unique space of collaborative settings and scrum spaces allows for ideation, retreat and team working. The rear is less exposed to sunlight throughout the day so is home to meeting, training and focus spaces. The central space was reserved for social spaces, providing an impressive and unique sense of welcome on every floor.

Against the status quo, over 20% of the entire office is dedicated to non-working areas (for socializing, relaxing and recreation) to encourage a ‘one-team dynamic’ and connect people on a deeper level through social activities to build a stronger team culture. The top two floors house the social heart, complete with 200+ person amphitheater, social space with café, state-of-the-art gym, shower and locker facilities, a dedicated gaming floor as well as a two-tiered external terrace connecting the spaces together.
