Interior design business unveils revamped hospitality suites at Emerald Headingley Stadium

The Leeds studio of interior design specialist SpaceInvader has secured a contract to design 23,000 sq ft worth of new hospitality suites at the Emerald Headingley Stadium.

This new project is part of the £40m redevelopment of the stadium, which is home to the Leeds Rhinos rugby league club, Yorkshire Carnegie rugby union club and Yorkshire County Cricket Club,

The contract will see SpaceInvader design the stadium’s new 500-capacity hospitality suite, including bars, boxes and a corporate reception.

The design will create suites with panoramic views across both the cricket and rugby grounds with the ability to reconfigure the space to cater for conferences and events.

Emerald Headingley Stadium has commissioned SpaceInvader to deliver the interiors in preparation for England and Wales hosting the ICC cricket world cup and the Ashes in 2019.

The new project comes as SpaceInvader celebrates its first year of trading in Leeds. Since launching its studio at The Green Sand Foundry in June 2017, the design specalist has recorded a 300% rise in revenue over the past 12 months.

Sarah Dodsworth, associate director and head of SpaceInvader Leeds, said: “It feels fitting that as we celebrate our first anniversary in Leeds, we’ve been appointed to redesign one of the city’s iconic venues.

“It’s been a fantastic year in which we’ve delivered award winning projects and expanded our client book. Now, 80% of our work from the Leeds studio is from clients based in Yorkshire and, through projects like Headingley, we feel very much at home here.

“We see a lot of growth potential in the region, as businesses increasingly see the link between productivity, talent retention and excellence through workplace design.”

SpaceInvader employs 65 people across its studios in Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and London and has a £4.5m turnover.
