The Project
MERJE needed a multi-functional space that blended co-working with social. We flipped the space on its axis and designed & built a functional, playful workspace that oozes creativity & fun. The purpose built pods offer quiet zones that can be used as formal or informal meeting spaces. We created floating hot desk spaces with ambient integrated LED lighting that boost's productivity, & not to mention the super fun digital dart board system.
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.
