Design Proposal: Creating an Efficient Office Environment Within Limited Space

The client came to us with a problem. He had already consulted many designers and received their proposals and drawings. They all had not come up with something he liked or close to what he had envisioned. Another thing was that the area was not that large; a 20' X 70' ground floor intermediate shoplot to work with.

The owner wanted to fit 7 employees with the ability to service 20 clients or agents coming and going at one time. People had to be able to move comfortably; there had to be enough workstations for individual work and consultations between agents and clients. Most of all, the space had to look spacious, clean, corporate and modern to depict its current business trends and success. It was a brand name and the client was one of its most successful agents for this prestigious insurance brand.

We came up with a design proposal which fulfilled the client's requirements as well as managed to put into the space all the requirements and areas which the client desired. It would require custom built interior fit-out and furniture. The right colors and materials would provide the corporate finish that was desired, adding the necessary dimensions to the limited space.

Now it's up to the contractors appointed by the client to realise the vision put on paper. At FZLD, as part of our design services, we do on-site measurements and markings to ensure contractors follow the space requirements. As part of our Project Management services, we will advise on materials and technical aspects for the construction and built of structures, wall treatments and custom furniture to help make the design a reality for the client.
