Office Fit Out Nottingham | Commercial Interior Design & Fit Out
From empty floorplate to working workplace
Taking on new commercial premises can be exciting.
It can also present an intimidating collection of decisions.
Where should departments sit? How many meeting rooms are required? What services need altering? Which furniture should be retained? What should the project cost?
A structured office fit out process turns those questions into a plan.
Understand the building before designing it
Before developing the interior, understand the property.
Existing mechanical and electrical services, ceiling heights, natural light, access, fire strategy and landlord requirements can all influence what’s possible.
A good survey at the beginning can prevent expensive discoveries later.
Don’t design around desks alone
An office isn’t simply a container for workstations.
Today’s workplaces can include quiet rooms, collaborative spaces, video-call facilities, informal meeting areas, kitchens and social spaces alongside conventional desks.
The right balance depends upon how your organisation operates.
Establish the budget early
Budget should influence design rather than arrive as a nasty surprise once design is complete.
Early cost planning allows alternative materials and approaches to be evaluated while there is still time to make sensible decisions.
Consider furniture during the design
Furniture influences circulation, power, capacity, acoustics and the overall character of a workplace.
It should therefore form part of the design process rather than becoming the shopping trip at the end.
Create somewhere appropriate to your organisation
The best commercial interiors aren’t interchangeable.
They reflect the business occupying them.
That doesn’t require corporate colours splashed across every wall. Often the more sophisticated approach is expressed through materials, details, furniture and the overall experience of the space.
