NORTH YORKSHIRE STORAGE & OFFICE MEZZANINE

Our client, a data solutions provider based in North Yorkshire, established in 2010 had recently seen rapid growth in their business. As they were based over multiple sites (mainly office space) they required a location to store some of their physical hardware and components as storing them within an office environment wasn’t suitable. After locating a small industrial unit within the proximity of the main office space, they had a requirement to fit out the space to suit their needs. The industrial units were sold just as a shell with a small WC in the corner. The company needed a kitchen area, stores area, an office for up to four people and an open area for assembly. As the company was modern they required an industrial aesthetic to match their brand.

The MD wanted to maximise the space available therefore consideration was given to a mezzanine floor. As the warehouse was small, the MD knew by installing a mezzanine floor that the unit would be future proofed. Initially the space could be used for storage but could also provide additional office space in the future if required. They also needed space for a breakout area. The space could be utilised to hold events so provision for a decent sized breakout space was one of the requirements. Lastly an office area was required and because the unit doesn’t have external windows, glass partitioning was on the list of requirements, so the office didn’t feel enclosed.

One of the main drivers for the project was the aesthetic of how the fit out would look. The client wanted an industrial feel to the space. Part of the project requirements was to enhance the concrete floor off the warehouse. It was a standard concrete floor that was prone to dust, so the client needed to seal the floor to eliminate as much dust as possible.

Once the brief was obtained it was down to Nexus to design a space that met the physical requirements of the space, but also hit the spot with regards to the look and feel.
