Bletchley Park

Honoring historic offices

We had the special oportunity to be invited into Bletchley's well storied offices, to discuss a light office refurbishment. Our highly knowledgable and passionate client gave us a private tour of the site inlcuding private offices, nvaluable in our understanding of the rooms past and their relationship with the people who served in them. We looked at archive photos to understand the significace and how staff used the spaces in the past, which set the tone for how we approached a simple installation.

Our client required sturdy UK made entry level furniture on a budget, installed quickly without fuss using trade entrances out of sight of public tours. We very quickly established the building had exceptional attention to detail in it's original planning and build. Our site survey showed identical adjoining brick built office rooms to be prescisley the same internal dimensions steels to steels and steels to walls when laser measured. When we say precisely, we mean a +/- tolerance of 0mm. This remains the only time our site surveryor has experienced such accuracy in a building of this type and age.

We quickly establish low cost simple furniture solution using CAD planning to fit the spaces perfectly.
We specified durable, uniform furniture that mirrored internal features. Desktops we matched to corridor hallway stairwell tops. All furniture being UK made within 2 hours of Bletchley. We used a bright seating colour to refelct the clients wishes and lift the room, while respecting the rooms original layouts with desks centered around original steel pillars, allowing good verbal and non-verbal communication across desks. The end result was an enjoyable installation into a special space, and a happy client.
