The brief

Refurbishment of a vacant office to create training rooms, larger open-plan office space and additional cellular offices.

How we met the challenge

Intelliflo are a growing software business and needed room for more staff, more spaces for meetings and software development, + in-house training facilities. The office design brief was to create a welcoming open office interior with high quality finishes and office furniture needed for a 14 hour operating environment, whilst retaining elements of the previous office fit-out to constrain the overall budget.

The glazed office partitioning minimizes the barriers to light and supports the target of an open office environment, but distraction is limited by using a manifestation to obscure the eye-contact levels.

To keep costs under control, the existing CAT 5 network was retained and updated, and existing air conditioning integrated into the revised office design layout.

The relocation was a protracted exercise, with considerable delays from Landlord and legals, but after all the stop-start preamble the project ran to time, with iorgroup undertaking the removals to complete a full start to finish project.
