Olympic Champion, Toby Roberts Trains At Yonder!
Last Sunday marked the thrilling conclusion of the Paris 2024 Olympics, and while we’re still buzzing from Team GB’s incredible achievements, we’re especially proud to celebrate Toby Roberts' GOLD victory in the men’s boulder and lead event!
Toby’s journey to Olympic glory included training at Yonder, the climbing centre and creative workspace we had the privilege of designing. Housed in a retrofitted Walthamstow warehouse, our design brief was to create an amphitheatre-like atmosphere, ensuring the climbing surface was visible from multiple viewpoints. After extensive VR testing, the result was a striking central climbing ‘canyon,’ allowing users of Yonder’s café, workshops, and hot desks to enjoy a front-row view of the action.
