Interior Refresh and Furniture Supply for School Staff Rooms

The project addressed transforming eight school staff rooms for an academies trust in Yorkshire. The challenge involved outdated and uninspiring spaces with uncomfortable furniture that failed to provide necessary relaxation between lessons.

The approach included: blueprint design with a comprehensive concept addressing aesthetic and functional needs, creating a unified design rolled across all eight rooms; furniture supply of high-quality, ergonomic pieces including soft seating, modular sofas, tables, chairs, planters, and storage solutions; colour psychology using soft greens, cool blues, and warm reds selected for their soothing effects, complemented by natural elements and modern kitchen features; and zonal planning with strategic zones for relaxation, collaborative work, focused desk sessions, and dining/social interactions.

Staff praised the completed spaces, noting improved aesthetics and functionality that significantly enhanced their functionality and positively impacted well-being and productivity.

Office Redesign for West Yorkshire Based Education Trust

The team needed an overhaul of their West Yorkshire head office – a space that had grown tired and inefficient. The constraints included working within a listed building featuring striking red brick walls and steel beams. The objective centred on creating a design that honoured these existing architectural elements while delivering a more functional workplace environment.

Strategic space planning reorganised the layout into distinct zones: open-plan office, printer area with storage, and a kitchenette with adjoining breakout room. Private offices, a spacious boardroom, and smaller meeting room accommodated various collaboration needs.

Colour was strategically applied to walls, complementing original features. Photorealistic 3D visuals, detailed plans, and comprehensive technical drawings facilitated smooth construction.

The completed space delivers a dynamic, welcoming office where staff feel invested in their workspace. The naturally flowing layout designates zones for focused work, collaboration, and rest. Meticulous planning combined task seating, soft furnishings, desking, acoustics, lighting, and wall coverings into a cohesive aesthetic.
