The brief

  • Billi requested an office layout that prioritised teamwork and efficient communication, which would be achieved through the use of bench desks.
  • To foster collaboration, the design needed to incorporate multiple breakout areas, each tailored for informal meetings, relaxation, and creative brainstorming.
  • Formal meeting spaces were also essential, requiring a dedicated boardroom-style meeting room equipped with a large table and a presentation screen, as well as a separate meeting room capable of seating twelve to fourteen people.
  • The office needed comprehensive kitchen and canteen facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen breakout area with canteen tables and chairs, and a separate canteen area with dining tables and ample storage.
  • Practical storage solutions were a requirement, including integrated office storage, personal storage pedestals, and room dividers with storage shelves.
  • Finally, the overall aesthetic of the design was to be modern and vibrant, reflecting and reinforcing Billi UK’s brand identity.

The challenges

  • Optimising space utilisation within the 7,500 sqft area to accommodate diverse functional requirements.
  • Select high-quality furniture and fixtures that meet the client’s aesthetic and ergonomic needs while staying within budget.
  • Ensuring seamless integration of technology, particularly in the meeting rooms.
  • Creating a balance between open-plan collaborative spaces and private meeting areas.
  • Coordinating the refurbishment to minimise the downtime of the client.
