DB Services

Client Brief

DB Services required our help to make its London industrial warehouse and office more practical for its team. This would involve extending the upper level mezzanine to create further office space, re-configuring the existing ground floor office area to accommodate an employee re-shuffle, and creating a new breakout area in place of an admin area. Furthermore, DB needed us to refurbish its washroom to give it a fresher, cleaner look.

Our Warehouse Refurbishment Solution

To create a new breakout area on the ground floor, our designers used their space planning expertise to re-configure the existing office layout. This entailed adapting the admin area to make way for the new breakout elements, including a partition with an opening for kitchen access, wipeable flooring, an air-con unit, and a new TV screen.

Next to the breakout area, we removed a storeroom to create a single open plan office for the operations team. This required us to fill in an opening in an existing partition, which previously formed a storeroom entrance, lay new carpet tiles, and install a glass partition to form an operations zone. Like the breakout area, the ops office needed a new air con unit.

Following the ground floor works, we installed various elements to create the new first floor office. These include a large perimeter wall with windows overlooking the warehouse below, stud partitions to form a storeroom (relocated from the ground floor), a glass partition for the new director’s office, branding elements, and a suspended ceiling with LED lighting. We also installed a steel staircase with distinguishable nosing for safe, easy access from the ground level.

Finally, we updated the washroom with a practical and elegant new design. Key features include metro tiles, robust vinyl flooring, and a hung hand basin with a mixer tap.

The Result

Despite structural challenges the project presented, we were able to achieve DB Services’ brief on time and within budget. Thanks to the exceptional expertise of our interior design and project team, the Croydon-based company now has an office suitable for its team and operations.

The upper-level extension provides much more space, making for a vast improvement on the previously cramped environment. This was made possible by the ground floor space re-configuration and refurbishment, which also facilitated the integration of a new breakout area for DB Service’s hardworking employees.
