The Solution

On entry visitors are greeted by an impressive tailor made reception desk manufactured in gloss white laminate with a hint of colour within the company brand palette. The brand colours continue in the upholstery of the soft seating and feature flooring. The full height oak doors from reception lead into the open plan office area, which is broken up with contemporary steel storage and high back sofa’s. White was selected for the workstations to give a clean current look and feel combined with a bold coloured fabric screen.

The modular boardroom table is an impressive size at over 7.5 metres in length, seating 24 people, finished in walnut MFC. The main feature of the design includes a modern breakout kitchen area with a mixture of booth, low soft seating, dining and high dining options for staff as well as quirky design features such as rubber moulded pendants which adds to the personality of the space.

On securing the project by competitive tender, Ben Johnson Interiors worked closely with the project team to firm up the final specification. The project was delivered on time and within budget, and both Knight Frank and Taylor Wimpey would consider Ben Johnson for future projects.
