Key Features

Prior to the works, the laptop station consisted of mismatched furniture, a scruffy whiteboard, and a tired, drab carpet.
To make the space more inviting and practical, we replaced the carpet with artificial grass and a vinyl ‘running track’, fitted noise-cancelling acoustic panels and implemented a new HD presentation screen.

In the centre of the room, our school interior designers demonstrated exceptional creativity by transforming a dead space into a visually-arresting breakout area.
The design included chill-out booths with acoustic properties, a laminate bench table with heavy-duty metal legs and accompanying stools, a striking thunderbolt LED linear light, hanging acoustic panels and a breakfast bar-style IT area.

To create the IT suite, we installed a partition to form a divide between it and the breakout area.
Within the newly created space, we laid more imitation grass, furnished the space with desks and chairs and added a school logo graphic.
For a striking finishing touch, we installed a ceiling raft with a blue sky manifestation (see image slider above).

We also wanted to utilise the dead space that we had in the bistro area. Our favourite aspect is the booths! The students have basically been in complete shock and awe. They love the colours and just think it’s awesome.
As there’s a lot of regeneration taking place in Tottenham we’re hoping it will be used by community organisations for meetings and other activities. We’d also like to see it used as a work hub for teachers and staff during their downtime.
Rap Interiors have exceeded our expectations! I can honestly say I’ve got nothing bad to say. I’ve loved working with Rap; they really just ‘got us’ so I’ve got nothing negative to say whatsoever. Most definitely we would recommend Rap. We’re actually looking to do more work with Rap.
For us it’s as much about the people we work with on projects like this. Things are fine when everything’s going well, but if you get into problems and need to change things communication is key. In this regard, we found Rap really easy to work with; everybody was lovely and friendly, very down to earth, and you could just say what you thought and they listened. I’ve got nothing but great things to say.
