What Jump Studios does

Jump Studios is a London-based architecture and interior design practice founded in 2001 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Populous since a Summer 2015 merger. The practice positions itself as a multidisciplinary collective of architects, graphic designers, digital designers, and interaction designers, delivering experience-led interior environments for hospitality and entertainment venues, premium corporate workplaces, retail and brand experiences, and sports facilities. Notable projects include the full interior design of Co-op Live (the UK's largest indoor arena, 23,500 capacity, £365m project), the Adidas Originals brand space and recording studio at Co-op Live, UBS Arena at Belmont Park (New York), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hospitality interiors, John Cain Arena Western Lounge (Melbourne), Google's Tel Aviv/Madrid/London offices, and Workplace designs for Worten (Lisbon), Red Bull, LG, Rapha, and others.

The practice operates as a B2B enterprise commission-based model, acquiring clients through direct sales engagements, competitive pitches, and invitations rather than through published pricing tiers. Revenue is generated as professional services fees on bespoke project scopes spanning enterprise corporate headquarters fit-outs, flagship retail, branded hospitality venues, and large-scale sports and entertainment venues. Project delivery typically crosses multiple disciplines (architecture, graphics, digital, and interaction design) and integrates sustainability credentials (LEED, WELL) where relevant. The firm is co-located within the Populous group at Parklife, 116 Putney Bridge Rd, London, and operates across the UK, continental Europe, North America, Oceania, and the Middle East. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range; financial figures (revenue, profitability, headcount) are not publicly disclosed.

The business model relies on Populous's project pipeline for flagship sports venue commissions, combined with direct enterprise relationships across technology (Google), consumer brands (Nike, adidas, Selfridges, Honda), hospitality (Ministry of Sound, Fortnum & Mason, Beavertown), and financial services (Fidelity). Pricing is bespoke and not publicly listed, with engagement structured around project scope and complexity. The practice maintains a portfolio-led marketing approach via its website, with no disclosed paid digital marketing or content distribution channels.
