The brief
"We want to catch peoples eye, but for the right reasons" This brief is always a challenge, creating a loud look without looking distasteful is an art form. Taking what we know about signage we went about using the latest LED technology to creating frameless, high impact signage that's loud & elegant. Internally we used eye catching curves that don't conform with the everyday box shaped Highstreet units. These clever tricks delivered an office design that you can't miss.
The approach
The office interior company team set out to assess the neighbouring retail spaces & worked against them in order to not blend in. Using contrasting colours, curves & audio visual solutions we developed a design that catches eyes from all angles.
Little bit extra
Returning client, Robinson Michael & Jackson, came to MPL Interiors upon acquiring a new
High Street premises in Maidstone. As part of a successful franchise network, the aesthetic needed to uphold the property brand’s corporate identity, while being set apart from other offices in the group. A sleek, industrial
design was requested, pairing familiar elements with subtle colours and geographical markers. MPL was also asked to draw up plans to convert the upper floor for subletting purposes and to provide all new office furniture.
Conclusuion.
Our site survey found the MPL team in a former charity shop. Lots of old internal cladding and partition walls made determining the true structure of the premises challenging, therefore a complete strip out was necessary. The client was fond of some industrial-style rails that were from the site’s previous incarnation, and these were to influence some of the finishing touches.Detailed technical drawings were drawn up to facilitate a complete overhaul of the power, data, lighting, heating and cooling of the new office, followed by 2D space plans and mood boards. Our client was especially keen to collaborate on our 3D designs, with the digital aspect allowing key stakeholders to shape various iterations of the final look.
