Headingley Stadium

We designed a number of areas within the Howard Stand at Headingley Stadium, with the stand separating the stadium’s two adjacent grounds – Headingley Cricket Ground and Headingley Rugby Stadium. Our scope covered a range of circulation spaces, private boxes and suites. We achieved a cohesive look and feel, ensuring a seamless experience throughout the stand while giving each area its unique identity.

The design language across all spaces is distinctly linear, highlighted by elements such as panelling, timber slats, Crittall doors, and framed artwork. To introduce a sense of fluidity, we incorporated flowing, abstract patterns in the carpets and paintings.
