Ground & First Refurbishment of Amenity Office Block

Ground & First Refurbishment of Amenity Office Block
This project was a full internal refurbishment of a two-storey office amenity block housing a café area on the ground floor and office accommodation on the first floor. The fully functioning café with cooking facilities was reduced in size to allow more office / meeting room accommodation to be installed on the ground floor. A spiral staircase was included to allow a quick connection between people working on the ground and first floor. The existing internal courtyard on the first floor was removed and a new glazed roof light was installed over it to flood the first floor with natural light.
