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.

Furniture was carefully curated and supplied, featuring boardroom chairs with yellow accents mirroring the brand and a statement navy table.
The outcome is a calm, contemporary space that reflects Jotun’s professionalism while providing a more functional layout for meetings and daily operations.

The outcome delivered a cohesive brand and workspace that genuinely represents who Discover Financial are today.
Design-Led Office Refit for Dolphin ICT

Demo Room for Jotun Paints, Flixborough

The project needed to showcase Jotun’s complete product range while facilitating team training, partner visits, and informal meetings within a branded environment.
The approach involved considered space planning to maximise impact and function. Tired flooring was replaced with durable carpet tiles, and modern furniture created a comfortable discussion and training space. Demo units and tinting equipment were integrated into the design rather than added afterward, with coordinated dimensions and access points.
Finishing touches included a new acoustic slat feature wall, custom cabinetry, and complete redecoration aligned with Jotun’s brand while maintaining practicality.
The outcome is a sleek, modern demo suite that allows Jotun to communicate its product story with confidence and clarity. The integrated sample display system makes complex coating technologies more engaging and tactile, helping visitors understand solutions through hands-on interaction.

Integrated cabinetry and product display surfaces create a cohesive environment. The completed space delivers a confident, brand-led space that’s both functional and engaging, functioning as a versatile hosting environment that embodies Signet’s high-performance values.
