Project Overview

TransPennine Rail partnered with us to deliver a Cat B fit-out that transformed their workspace into a multifunctional environment catering to train crews, administration management, and support staff. The aim was to create a space that promoted creativity, collaboration, and well-being while providing practical and adaptable facilities for training, meetings, and quiet work.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the key challenges was designing a space that balanced the diverse needs of different teams within the organisation. This required careful planning and consultation to ensure that the environment supported both collaborative activities and individual focus.

Our approach included:

Creative and Agile Spaces: Incorporating collaborative booths, quiet zones, and flexible meeting/training rooms to encourage teamwork and productivity.
Mechanical and Electrical Upgrades: Upgrading and adapting the infrastructure to support the demands of a modern workspace.

Functional Design: Using innovative design elements to create a space that was both visually appealing and highly functional.
Furniture and Fit-Out: Installing furniture and finishes that complemented the design intent while providing comfort and durability.

Project Highlights
