Oui-sncf

Client Brief

To transform a 20 year old third-floor office into a bright, open plan space with new furniture.

Project Summary

Oui-sncf required cat a and cat b fit out works to create a functional and hospitable office space for its employees. For the CAT A works, we stripped out the building and ensured that it was a functional working environment before the tenants moved in. We priced this to a cost consultant, who represented our client Voyages.

We then priced to CAT B to the same cost consultant and combined the two costs. For the CAT B works, it was important to our client that the commercial office design was bright and spacious. With this in mind, our designers introduced glass partitions to the rooms running adjacent to the desks, ensuring that the office gained good exposure to the sunlight.

The office space design included a communications room, two meeting rooms, a breakout area and printing suite – all of which had glass partitions with manifestation for safety. We also introduced a predominantly white colour scheme, which supplemented the brightness generated by the windows and newly added glass.

While the colour scheme was predominantly white, the commercial office design also included green, pink and blue pillars, which mirrored their multi-coloured logo. To further instil the company identity, the company logo was fixed to the wall along with a travel-themed placard.

For furniture, the commercial office design included shared desks to fulfil the open plan remit, and these were accompanied by comfortable chairs and individual storage solutions. In the waiting area of the office, soft seating and a coffee table were introduced to create an instantly hospitable atmosphere.

Through demonstrating exceptional office space planning expertise, our Kent interior designers have created bright, spacious open plan office that reflects Oui-sncf’s company identity. We are delighted to have contributed to this cutting edge workspace, which will no doubt set Oui-sncf up for great success in the future.
