A 12,000 sqft project encompassing provision of eight office hub locations for each of the University’s School Office teams. End user engagement and consultation was an important part of the design process to ensure that the requirements for a variety of teams that would use the hubs were considered and accommodated. A professional and comfortable aesthetic was chosen for this Professional Services team environment.

Transforming 13,000 SQ FT existing office space for University West of England’s Professional Services team. Collaborating closely with end users to redesign and maximise the efficiency of their workspace, using a sustainable design approach. This included reuse of existing fit out and furniture where appropriate, specification of sustainable materials, and meeting future needs of the team to ensure longevity of the design. Our design services took the project from concept to completion.

Offering Farm Shop and Cafe services to both the local community and visitors to The Middlewick’s holiday cottages, the purpose built 3,900 sqft industrial building has become a community hub in Glastonbury. The design concept incorporates influences from the local produce of Somerset, Mediaeval legends, and spiritual festivals to create an environment in tune with its surroundings. In depth consultation was carried out with the client team to ensure the commercial potential of the building’s footprint was optimised.

We Are Reach secured 3,000 sqft of new office space to house their growing team. A typical period property offering in central Bath, we worked with the challenging building footprint to maximise the functionality of the space, created a design aesthetic to represent the essence of their brand and future proofed it for the inevitable next phase of growth. We took the time to provide additional guidance and support on the whole process, enabling the client team to make better informed decisions for their first office design.

Following a strip out back to shell & core, we worked with property developer Capsule Properties to create a workspace for 299 Lighting in their 8,000 sqft industrial building. The design concept included inspiration taken from the historical details sourced at the Bristol Archives regarding the building’s past uses, applied principles to reduce the amount of materials required, and used natural and sustainable solutions throughout. Priority was given to local suppliers, artists and social enterprises to deliver the associated works.

A popular pitstop on the bank of Bath’s canal, the Locksbrook Inn’s redesign for the bar focused on maximising its efficiencies to better support the bar team and providing a new drop down space for customers visiting with laptops. The design was detailed out on site with the client team to walk through the adjacencies of all the sections of the bar and when finalised, a bespoke stainless steel bar was fabricated on the final design.

With incredible countryside views, the Garden Bar at the Hare and Hounds has been designed as an extension of the pub’s main bar and kitchen, with an aesthetic to keep it in tune with its surroundings. The colour palette took inspiration from Bath’s historic treescapes to create a design that’s sympathetic with the countryside it sits in. The materials were chosen for their durability for its external location and also recycled in origin.

A combination of a timeless design aesthetic, taking inspiration from the original architectural features of the Marlborough Buildings, and a colour palette sympathetic to the Georgian era created an updated and inviting new interior for The Marlborough Tavern. Detailing the design to maximise the efficiency of the bar area, combining beautiful display and clever hidden storage to create a considered and durable design solution.

Located adjacent to the University’s main Library, the 3,800 sqft Careers and Enterprise mixed use lounge provides a place for advisor meetings with students, a workshop area for group sessions and a drop down study area. Utilising existing furniture, and adding new items where necessary, the bright and vibrant aesthetic creates an inviting and professional space to nurture student career opportunities.
