The design inspiration was led by the building fabric and history being a former stables and light industrial unit. More natural light was introduced by adding some Velux type roof glazing, with sliding shutters and black industrial tracks. The venue was originally designed by Architect Roger Stephenson and our design was respectful of the original architectural vernacular and building fabric by refurbishing the King beam arrangement and the Pitch Pine flooring

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.

The brief was to create a combination hybrid and agile activity-based workspace for their core team. The focus was to accommodate as many flexible working areas as possible within the footprint. We worked collaboratively with the Orcha senior team to develop their basic layout drawing to a working scheme using CAD, 3D, and Revit modelling.

A small creative office for 6 with a circular table and scribble walls. A quiet calls space with 3 phone booths. An informal open plan meeting/planning space with soft seating. High table collaborative areas, desks for 32 staff. A bespoke bleacher seating presentation and staff development area for 48 people and a café/breakout area and an informal reception.

Interior Design

The design used a pastel palette, which incorporated a core 9 soft tone colours on the walls and in the fabrics used on the bespoke seating. The floor finishes reflected the ‘resimercial’ theme using large format acoustic warm concrete and oversized Wharfside Ash in the breakout/café. Carpet tiles from Tarkett in 3 colours blended into each other across the floorplate. Junction strips were formed into radii to soften the geometry. Finishing touches included natural waxed oak cladding, bespoke signage and plenty of planting. and formal meeting space with Crittall glazing and slim-line sliding screens.

Design Concept and Inspiration: was the building’s distinctive architecture, featuring a triangular jutting steel cladding detail with an external balcony. The internal space was angled like a squeezed trapezium and the roof to 1st floor was pitched into the gable. The unique footprint and angled soffits added to the building’s architectural appeal in conjunction with the extensive display of products made the internal design & fit out an exciting jigsaw puzzle and poser for our team of Creators + Makers. The finishes were carefully selected, use of an earthy palette and natural timber, fabrics, wool boucle, and rugs to give an organic backdrop to the main show, the Products

Customer Journey Phases

1. Awareness: The customer is drawn in by the showroom’s design and visual appeal. 2. Exploration: They begin to explore different zones based on product displays and interaction points. 3. Engagement: The customer interacts with products, tests features, open the doors / windows. 4. Decision Making: As they move through, they start comparing products or asking questions to sales staff.

At the exit is a lounge style soft seating, ambient lighting, and customer consultation area with sales literature and soon to be a film reel on wall mounted screens. The film will illustrate the whole process from enquiry to site visit, then the manufacturing process through to the install team with satisfied clients and a happy handshake!
