Project Background and Objectives
Kingspan, a global name in sustainable building solutions, required a comprehensive refurbishment of their composite cladding panel corporate headquarters, which featured a 20-year-old existing fit-out. The space was outdated, with mechanical and electrical systems nearing the end of their service life. The objective was to complete a full Cat A and Cat B fit-out that modernised the office environment, supported collaboration, and included updated facilities while promoting sustainable practices.
Solutions and Approach
To deliver on the client’s needs, we implemented the following solutions:
- Full Cat A and Cat B Fit-Out: Completed extensive structural and interior upgrades, revitalising the workspace.
- Collaborative Spaces: Designed breakout areas and informal coffee bars to encourage teamwork and flexible working.
- Enhanced Meeting Rooms: Constructed Zoom/Teams rooms and equipped meeting spaces with ceiling baffles for optimal acoustics.
- Sustainable Upgrades: Installed sustainable LED lighting and an advanced HVAC system with integrated fresh air solutions.
- Updated Toilet Areas: Refurbished toilet facilities with modern fittings to align with the overall aesthetic and functionality of the upgraded office.
- Comprehensive Planning and Visuals: Provided detailed 2D drawings, client consultations, and 3D visuals for clear project alignment.
- Acoustic Solutions: Integrated wall acoustics in the collaboration lounge to maintain a productive environment.
Challenges and Solutions
The primary challenge was upgrading a decades-old fit-out with complex mechanical and electrical components while ensuring minimal disruption. This was managed through:
- A phased project plan to maintain operational continuity.
- Regular client consultations for proactive decision-making.
- The use of sustainable and innovative materials that met Kingspan’s stringent standards.
