GOLDEN HAMMER AWARDS 2025
Downtown Dynamism Award:
Tilt Creative + Production
Tilt Creative + Production’s new headquarters transforms a historic timber-and-brick building in Shockoe into a vibrant, story-driven workspace that reflects the team’s minority- and women-owned leadership and creative ethos. Original materials were revealed by opening historic windows and exposing brick and beams, connecting the space to its 19th-century roots while modernizing its flow and functionality.
Dynamic patterns, bold color, and curated artwork from local and minority creators pair with custom furniture, acoustic details, and lush plant life to create an inspiring environment that balances energy with comfort. Natural light and carefully placed zones, from open workstations and lounges to editing suites and phone booths, support both collaboration and focused work.
The result is a cohesive, community-focused studio where history and creativity converge, giving Tilt a home that celebrates their culture and amplifies the stories they tell.
