Office design and refurbishment

Most offices are still furnished for a pattern of attendance that stopped happening several years ago — a desk per person, five days a week, and meeting rooms sized for meetings where everyone was in the building.

Design is where that gets corrected. Not decoration, but deciding what the space is actually for, how much of each kind of setting it needs, and what of the existing furniture is worth keeping before anything new is specified.

We work as part of your professional team, alongside an architect or interior designer where there is one, producing layout plans, furniture and finish look books, 3D renders and walkthroughs so that decisions get made on something real rather than a description.

Where a building is being refurbished rather than fitted out from scratch, the order of the work changes and so does the cost. There is more on office refurbishment, and on space planning if the question is how much space you actually need.

Visualising your workspace design

It’s not always easy to put into words everything you are looking for in a new workspace design. So our designers can help you explore the type of environment that you would like, bringing your initial ideas to life by developing visuals and concepts to demonstrate what’s possible. Once you and all decision makers are happy, we’ll create detailed design drawings to ensure that your project is completed to your specifications.

Step 1: Thought Starters.

We’ll provide some visuals to help you explore the different types of workspace environment that can support the way you want to work

Step 2: Concept Design.

Together we’ll explore your desired look and feel, including a mood board and branding elements. We’ll develop floor plans and suggested layouts

Step 3: 3D Visuals.

Renders and Fly-through. Seeing your workspace design in 3D can really help you visualise the final results, and to engage stakeholders and decision makers for sign off.

Step 4: Design Proposal.

This contains detailed specifications, finishes and materials to help you make the right choice for your workspace

Step 5: Technical Drawings.

These help our project management and installation experts to deliver your project as planned

Identifying what you need from your space

In every workspace design project, the briefing stage is fundamental. Our team is aligned to your project at briefing stage, to understand your organisation, work and culture, the tools and technologies that need to be integrated into the spaces and furnishings, and how branding needs to be reflected throughout.

Our designers will work with your architect or interior designer, as part of your professional team to help identify specific products and furniture makers. We help you to visualise your space by producing detailed layout plans, furniture and finish look books, 3D renders and walkthroughs.

By capturing the FF&E and workspace design to this level of detail, we support you to choose the best options and gain approvals from across your project stakeholder team. Visual feedback is useful to help inform and direct change during the design phase. It means that agreed furniture layouts, colour schemes and work zones can be signed off early in the process before costly decisions have been made.
