Ellen Kitson of Kitson Architecture led and delivered the design of the new Encompass EMEA London Media Centre in Chiswick, London. The facility is a 24×7 operational centre for management and delivery of leading TV and radio channels for the BBC, Sony and Disney, amongst other broadcasters.

Ellen is always a delight to work with and she can always be counted on to deliver an innovative and practical solution. This project was no exception!

Ellen was extremely responsive when I asked her to help and within a few days had established our requirements and created an innovative yet entirely practical solution. Ellen was fully engaged throughout the project, always on hand to deal with queries and new requests, despite being 200 miles away in Manchester.

The Encompass EMEA London Media Centre is recognised as a world class broadcast facility combining impressive design with a practical working space for 24×7 operational staff.

I have no hesitation in recommending Ellen to anyone requiring a top rate architect!
