Following a telephone call by a member of the Business Development team at Oaktree Interiors, it transpired that Descartes was looking into an office relocation project. An initial face-to-face meeting was held to obtain their project brief, followed by a site survey by the Oaktree team.
Comprising of 2,700 sq ft, the design brief we were given stipulated that the new office must balance the fine line between promotional branding for clients, as well as being an open, inclusive office for all styles of working.
What Oaktree’s Design Proposal Included:
We fitted out several cellular offices, along with two meeting rooms, and a modern high-end boardroom.
To ensure we were fitting out the office parallel to the client’s brief, we created an open plan desking area for permanent members of staff and included hot desks for field and home-based staff to use whenever they come to the office. A fresh, modern, and relaxing breakout area was created for the staff to use when taking a break from work.
The project was successfully completed on time, within budget and to the satisfaction of the management and staff at Descartes.
“Thanks to all at Oaktree for making our office relocation project to new premises a smooth exercise. The new office provides a great modern working environment for our staff based there and customers and partners that visit. I am happy to recommend Oaktree for office Design & Build projects”
