Creating Spaces

We space-plan buildings, and create interiors.

Like a place or a building, an interior is a reflection of its owners and occupants; a demonstration of their ambitions and character. A successful interior will contribute strongly to the effectiveness of the business that uses it, or the well-being of the people that work, rest or play in it.

Following a thorough understanding of the client business plan, we test layouts and materials for quality and appropriateness. We collaborate with the design team to test cost, coordination and buildability. We interrogate the results and test their value.

However, emotional responses are as important as spatial and technical requirements in creating that value – colours, sound, privacy and openness, darkness and light, tactility, softness, all contribute to the important ‘feel’ of the space.

Modern partitioning systems and ceilings have provided cost effective means of dividing spaces to pre-determined dimensions and technical requirements, but do little to ‘shape’ those spaces. We spend time making sure walls and ceilings are not just uncluttered and efficient, but that that room ‘edges’ enclose a space to make it special, not just define its perimeter. We don’t like ‘left-over’ spaces.
