Surrey
One of the country’s most prestigious and exclusive golf clubs approached us to discuss the redesign of their General Manager and Membership offices. The membership office was cramped with various types, sizes, and finishes of filing cabinets, and the client desired a more stylish and uniform office layout. The General Manager’s office had outdated built-in joinery desking with mismatched filing cabinets that needed an upgrade.
To address these challenges, we conducted a detailed storage survey to ensure that all filing requirements were met. Based on the survey findings, we developed space plans and 3D sketches proposing bespoke workwalls and storage solutions. Our proposal focused on optimizing the office space by linking workstations with overhead storage and task lighting to create a seamless flow. To assist the client in visualizing the concept, we also produced high-quality CGI’s and timber samples.
Working closely with our fit-out partner, we presented a comprehensive proposal that included clearing the space, updating the electrics, changing the ceiling lighting, and fresh painting and decorating. The selected furniture finish was American Black Walnut with white lacquered end panels panels, which added a touch of elegance to the office space.
We are proud to say that the project was completed on time with minimal snagging, and the client was delighted with the results. The redesigned General Manager and Membership offices now boast a modern and cohesive look, providing a functional and visually appealing workspace for the golf club’s staff.

In 2010, we designed and manufactured for Sinopec, the world’s largest oil refining, gas and petrochemical conglomerate a 12000 x 2400mm thirty six seater barrel shaped table in cherry veneer for the boardroom of their London office, Unipec.
In 2022, along with three other slightly smaller tables we supplied, we refurbished and restored these tables and then stained them to work with design of their new London headquarters in Moorgate.
We were also asked to propose and provide a top quality executive desk in American black walnut and grey Fenix with matching credenzas for the Managing Director along with a suite of the exceptional Wilkhahn Asienta low seating in premium leather.
In the open plan areas, positioned at the end of each bank of desks, we designed and supplied eight door personal locker units in light grey with removable black planters above.

A real challenge set for us recently by our friends at Sketch Studios was to design a twenty four seater curved two tiered seating unit to fill one half of their theatre/activity room, the Dome, originally a ball room.
Getting the radius of the 12m diameter birch ply unit absolutely perfect was essential or the whole look would be ruined, this was not made any easier by a number of fan coil units fitted to the wall.
The padded seats needed to be hinged so they could lift up to provide access to and for storage within.
Installation being on the 5th floor ensured the challenges continued right through to the eventual successful installation.

Pall Mall London
Nik Denman of Denman Projects called me very, very early one morning to ask if we were still designing bespoke workwalls.
Then we had to meet the Director from Dodge & Cox the very next day and take her to a couple of sites to show the quality of our work.
This, a day or two later, was followed by an on-screen interactive meeting at their offices where together with the client and Nik, we designed a workwall especially for Dodge and Cox London. It needed some similarity to the style in their US headquarters but London wanted a bit of a difference, a uniqueness to their workwalls.
On finishing the meeting both client and PM told us how impressed with and how much they enjoyed the meeting. All we needed to do now was produce to their expectations.
Pleased to say, that is exactly what happened.
