Levitt Bernstein Architects

The reception fit out design by Architects Tim Groom Associates and Youth Studio embodies a profound respect and understanding of the differing relationships between the materials / palette. Aluminium, steel, masonry, brickwork, reclaimed and new Oak, marble, soft wool boucle & woven fabrics. The design prioritised authenticity over embellishment and the Truth of Materials ethos from the Bauhaus movement

Overview

The brief was to install a kitchen / breakout, server room and to create open plan space for 20 staff to include informal seating / reception and collaboration space.

Scope of Works

Demolition, plywood overlay, large format LVT tiles, mechanical, electrical, data and LED lineal lighting.

Select Interiors Creators + Makers then carried out a further phase of electrical & lighting works for the Landlords Castlefield Estates, continual lineal LED lighting and pendants on separate switching & circuits

Interior Design

We reused and remodelled and moved the bespoke joinery we had manufactured and fitted out their previous offices. The bespoke shelving and storage were built on site from Birch faced plywood, the large, fitted storage was ‘hacked’ Ikea wardrobes and we added gables and pelmet to give a fully fitted look. We installed raw galvanised metal clad sockets and containment with sating Black sockets installed within fitted shelving units to distribute power to desks as the unit did not have computer access flooring.
