A full fit out project to bring a local firms reception and waiting area into the 21st Century.

The Client Brief:

To renew the reception and waiting areas, improving functionality and to engage with visiting clientele.

Main Design Focus:

To form a space that would compliment the existing company image and to build on the established nature of the business.  To enhance the users experience and to provide a more relaxed, engaging space for work and to promote the values of the business.  Quality, established, solid, efficient and above all professional are all focus words throughout the project that have both driven the design and the material choices within.

The Design:

The new glazed entrance door leads to a directionally laid solid timber floor.  The same floor folds up to form the reception desk, now central to the room.  Either side are natural carpet areas with soft seating creating the meeting/waiting areas.  New insertions in the form of low level paneled screens shield the private workspace and define the work zone.  Feature central light echoes the existing dental cornice, now painted to give definition and to visually lift the historic space.
