For more than 25 years, our client, the Bilstein Group has been delivering high quality vehicle components to the aftermarket.

We were tasked with creating a new office space that reflected their brand and incorporated key features from a previously completed fit-out in Markham Vale, UK. The new office was to be modern, clean, and welcoming to all staff. We took on the challenge and created a design that met their needs and exceeded their expectations.

Design

To reflect the brand, we used greys, blues, and reds throughout the design. The colour scheme was tastefully integrated, with different shades of these colors used throughout the space to create a cohesive design. We also replaced all the washroom and shower facilities with modern ‘superloo’ toilets and shower facilities.

At the heart of the office, we created a new Tea point & Breakout area for the staff and visitors. This area opens up onto a new terrace, which provides a space for staff to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The large breakout and tea point space features bespoke meeting booths, and the laminate doors with timber lipping and glazing with corporate manifestation, create a stylish and modern look.

Key Features

We also incorporated height-adjustable desks and booth seating to make the office space as functional as possible. The meeting and office facilities were designed to be flexible and adaptable, with a layout that can be easily reconfigured to meet the needs of the business.

In addition to the office space, we also created new laboratories and storage facilities to the rear. These facilities were designed to be functional and efficient, while still maintaining the modern and clean aesthetic of the rest of the office.

One of the standout features of this office space is the new double-height Atrium Reception that connects the existing two buildings. The reception area features sculpted polished plaster walls and illuminated signage, creating a modern and welcoming entrance to the office. The feature cloud skylight at the top of the atrium ceiling adds a touch of drama and creates a sense of openness and spaciousness.

Result

Our office design project successfully reflects the global corporate brand and incorporates key features from a previously completed plant in Markham Vale, UK. The modern, clean, and welcoming space features height-adjustable desks, meeting and office facilities, new laboratories and storage facilities, and a large breakout and tea point space with bespoke meeting booths and access to a new external terrace. The color scheme, featuring greys, blues, and reds, is tastefully integrated, creating a cohesive design. The new double-height Atrium Reception with sculpted polished plaster walls and illuminated signage provides a modern and welcoming entrance to the office. Overall, the design meets the needs of the business while exceeding their expectations.
