This project was about giving a neglected building a completely new purpose. The aim was to transform a derelict coach house into a modern, vibrant office that would provide a practical working environment while reflecting the client’s brand and identity.
This derelict coach house building needed a complete renovation from the top to bottom.
We worked directly with the client to create a design which extended the space within the coach house: A basement with flood proofing, a new upper floor, complete renovation and bespoke staircases and joinery throughout.
Sustainability was an important part of the brief. The finished workplace needed to be comfortable and efficient, while keeping its environmental impact as low as possible.
The transformation involved extensive works to the existing building, including internal wall demolition, complete replumbing and rewiring, and the installation of a new VRF heating and cooling system alongside air source heat pumps.
The project also incorporated a vertical single-storey extension, a new driveway and dedicated cycle storage for employees. Outside, we created welcoming spaces for staff to relax and unwind, complementing the building’s new purpose as a modern working environment.
Attention to detail was central to the design. A bespoke staircase was welded on site, concealing its fixings to achieve a seamless, refined finish. Timber-framed Nordan glazing was introduced to maximise natural light throughout the working spaces, while the external finishes coordinated with the Spanish slate cladding to create a cohesive architectural aesthetic.
Sustainability was considered throughout, from energy-efficient lighting and advanced climate control systems to the selection of more environmentally conscious building materials. Every element was designed to contribute to a more efficient, comfortable and welcoming workplace.
The finished project turned a tired and neglected building into a bright, modern workplace. The design throughout offers employees a welcome space to collaborate and inspire creativity.
The design and finishes helped create a sustainable office that reflected their brand through colour and modern finishes. By combining thoughtful design, quality construction and sustainable solutions, the disused building was given a new lease of life.
