TMZ by Rapt Studio

What TMZ asked Rapt Studio to do in designing the interiors of its new office space was to create a collaborative workspace that would give concrete form to the brand’s values and visuals and serve the company’s purpose of working with news. This is why the location, a 35000sqf abandoned warehouse, now contains such rough materials as metal and concrete.
Great importance was assigned to the newsroom, a highly practical 9000sqf area that serves as both a shared office space and a stage set. But it is the details that make it complete: the graffiti on the walls and the map of Los Angeles showing the “Thirty Mile Zone” after which the company is named. One characteristic feature of the scene is the bombs hanging from the ceiling, symbolising TMZ’s explosive way of making news.
