RENOVATIONS
ORCA
Our role on the fit-out of this existing office space encompassed all elements of the company’s move to its new location, including the sourcing of the office space and assistance with the lease agreements, the internal layout to suit the client’s brief and the specification, and co-ordination of services, furniture, materials and light refurbishment. All of this as well as working within a very tight timeframe. A particular challenge was the integration of audio, visual and IT requirements within the layout and key elements of bespoke furniture, such as media walls and light tables. The design has transformed the existing open-plan space into two dedicated meeting spaces, cellular offices, open-plan workstations and a reprographics area.
Fareham waterfront refurbishment and replanning project
Our practice was appointed to undertake a major refurbishment of the interior and exterior of this Fareham waterfront property. On the first floor living area internal walls have been removed to create an open-plan living space. On the ground floor, internal walls have been removed to create an enlarged master bedroom and ensuite. Key features include: the high-level window in the living space, bi-folding doors, frameless glazed balustrade, composite decking on the balcony spaces, updated stairs balustrade and replacement render. The careful insertion of bi-folding doors and a high-level window have maximised the fantastic views of Fareham Creek, and created a dramatic sense of space and
strong indoor / outdoor connections. The frameless glazed balustrade and oak composite decking have completely transformed the first-floor balcony area with picturesque waterfront views. The internal changes provide much better utilisation of the space for open-plan living. The proposed changes have maximised the potential of the existing house adding light, amenity value and waterfront views.
