Taylor Wimpey

Taylor Wimpey East Midlands were ready for a complete overhaul of their offices when we first met with them. Their offices had previously been refurbished 15 years prior and it was starting to show! The brief was to open up their offices as much as possible and loose the bookcase lined, dark corridors that had been created over the years. Taylor Wimpey were also after some more informal meeting areas whilst still retaining the corporate image throughout.

To meet with Taylor Wimpey’s requirements, we introduced some strategically placed curved walls, these not only added to the environment visually but also softened the look of the office and helped guide people throughout the building. Individual offices were erected for the Directors, we used full height glass partitions for these with coordinating glass doors, these helped the light flood into the office and surrounding areas.

Colours

We kept the colour scheme reasonably neutral throughout using two neutral paint colours on the walls, and a brick wallpaper in grey and off-white to create some interest on selected feature walls. Carpet tiles were used for the bulk of the open office areas with a black base and light brown/grey stripe going through. Taylor Wimpey were keen to keep a strong corporate theme so purple carpet tiles were specified for the director’s offices and boardroom.

Reception

The reception was a key area for our attention, the place that all visitors to Taylor Wimpey East Midlands would visit or walk through. Our first recommendation was to switch the reception desk to the opposite wall to where it was positioned currently, this enabled the receptionist to have a clear view of the carpark and she could therefore see clearly any visitors or deliveries approaching. The reception desk itself was a bespoke reception desk, made to fit the space we had available, we also had bands of colour added to the front in Taylor Wimpey’s corporate colours.
