Berkeley Homes Office Refurbishment

Brief

During 2019 / 2020, they were facing the challenge of high costs associated with their Southern Headquarters and asked us to review and value-engineer some solutions.

The Design Project

As always, we quickly formed an open relationship with the client, which allowed us to discuss the relevance and impact of each specific space and its ultimate aims. Working closely with a creative architect from Berkeley’s design team we were able to deliver an inventive solution for the space – a design that surpassed all the requirements within the initial brief, maximising space and minimising the associated costs. The design solution was rendered in 3D for presentation and was delivered at £200,000 below the original budget.

Recycling For The Community

The refurbishment project involved recycling all the old furniture into the local community. The NHS took the majority of this for a covid support unit, and we also supplied other local small businesses and churches

Office Fit-Out

Installing the new office and building layout design, we redecorated throughout, built new office and meeting areas and carpeted throughout. This included air-conditioning installation, as well as some electrical work for the new layout.

Furniture Solutions

To maximise space, collaborative working solutions and new workstations were installed that allow for socially distanced working with flexibility for future-proofing work practices. We also installed pods for meeting areas and bespoke furniture solutions from SR Furniture, including timber work in the break-out areas and within their custom-built sample room. Furniture brands included Herman Miller, Maine, Boss and Verco.
