Project: Allwyn Offices

Client: Maris Interiors
Location: London
Programme: 8 weeks

Brief

Building on previous collabroations, Hurst Joinery Projects were appointed by Maris Interiors LLP to provide bespoke joinery for the transformation of Levels 3 and 4 of The Burlian into modern workspaces.

The client’s objective was to create sustainable, flexible workspaces that could adapt to future changes and growth without requiring a complete redesign. Hurst’s role was to manufacture the bespoke joinery elements that aligned with these objectives while seamlessly integrating into the overall interior design.

Result

Hurst successfully delivered the joinery elements for the offices on Levels 3 and 4, creating functional and collaborative spaces that met the project’s flexible and sustainable design requirements. The high-quality of manufacturing and installation reflected the client’s high design standards.

Close collaboration between the project team and the client throughout, ensured the programme ran smoothly, and was completed within the specified timeframe and budget. Following completion of the refurbishment, Maris Interiors was awarded the Ska Gold Certificate for Sustainability. in recognition of the project’s commitment to sustainable practices.

Challenges

The client’s design included two large, bespoke half-moon-shaped teapoints. Their distinctive shape and size posed logistical challenges, both in transporting them to the site and in their installation, requiring meticulous planning and coordination.

The curved framework and solid surface tops of these specialist pieces presented technical complexities, particularly in achieving seamless joints and precise alignment of all components.

Solution

Hurst’s scope encompassed the design, manufacturing and installation of various bespoke joinery elements to the reception, board room, offices, meeting rooms and open areas across both levels.

These elements included a custom-built reception desk, painted kitchen units and bespoke half-moon teapoints with integrated planters and solid surface worktops, and ORAC feature walls to accommodate backlit company logos. Upholstered banquette seating, and bookcases with integrated tv screens and acoustic panels were built for install into the open areas, along with coat cupboards and low level storage units. Covering panels for the folding doors ensured these blended into the interior design, when not in use.
