Face Punch Studios, Birmingham

Retro Gaming Studio

Just wow the ultimate modern, retro gaming studio, what a striking project to work on with Oktra Birmingham. The project involved a complete fit-out of the eighth floor at the iconic 103 Colmore Row Building in Birmingham. A fantastic effort from the whole team to get this over the line. Well Done.

The Video game developer is best known for its multiplayer survival game ‘Rust’, which has sold almost 14 million copies to date, and its other titles include Garry’s Mod, Chippy, and Sandbox. In total, Face Punch has sold more than 38 million games worldwide.

Face Punch studios won two awards, the Office Interior Design Award at the 2023-2024 UK Property Awards and the Project of the Year: Workplace Interiors 5,000 to 15,000 sq ft award at the Mixology North23 Awards.

I am sure you will agree this Face Punch gaming studio is on completely another level, it has it all. Creative by Designer Emily Benussi
