Question 1

How do I know whether I need office design or fit-out services?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy to get mixed up between office design and fit-out if you’re new to the topic. Design refers to the workshops, conceptual planning in 2D and 3D and interior design solutions which come together to create a model of your new space. An office fit-out is the physical transformation of a space from its existing state, to project completion. Combining these stages is an effective way to save time, money and resources, and often the end result will be better.

Question 2

What is the best type of layout for an office space?

Accepted Answer

You got us; trick question. There is no one answer to this: different businesses will have different preferences. In the past, furnishing a large office was about getting as many desks in the space as possible. Now the emphasis is on creating collaborative areas that are spacious and welcoming. Using furniture and flooring to create zones is known as a ‘broken-plan’ layout, and is a great way to create a variety of spaces suited to different working styles and types of neurodiversity. Dedicated quiet spaces, multi-faith rooms, wellbeing rooms, phone booths, breakout spaces, and collaborative working areas should come together in a unique mix appropriate for the needs of your people.

Question 3

How do you help visualise office spaces during the design process?

Our skilled team of designers work with you to understand your brief and transform it into something wonderful. We use technology such as Revit and Matterport to help you and your team visualise your new workspace, including jaw-dropping 3D visuals, 360 degree tours, and Virtual Reality (VR). Regular finishes meetings are held where you can touch and compare fabric samples and guide us with feedback every step of the way.

Question 4

Will you work with interior designers and third party vendors?
