Office Fit Out, Business Management Consultancy

Introduction

Squarcle, who are a leading player in the business consulting sector, came to Avent Interiors as they sought a comprehensive office fit out. The fit out would create a modern, functional workspace that mirrors their dynamic work culture. This project included high-quality flooring, partitioning solutions, and office glass partitions to enhance aesthetics and sound control, with a focus on flexibility and employee comfort.

Client Background and Challenges

Squarcle operates in a highly competitive sector where effective and collaborative work environments are essential for sustaining productivity, fostering team unity, and attracting high-calibre talent. Their original office configuration was inflexible and insufficiently soundproof. This had the knock-on effect of restricting privacy and the necessary adaptability for their changing workforce. Squarcle chose Avent Interiors as their fit out partner due to their established reputation for delivering high-quality, customised office fit outs and their expertise in harmonising design with functionality.

Project Goals and Requirements

The main objectives were to create a functional and visually appealing workspace that met Squarcle’s requirements for flexibility and acoustic control. Squarcle prioritised premium, durable materials and a versatile layout to support both collaborative and private spaces. Specific requirements included high-quality flooring, soundproof movable walls and full-height glass partitions in the front office area. Meeting industry standards for acoustics and durability was essential to the project’s success.

Solution and Implementation

The Avent Interiors team approached Squarcle’s fit out with careful attention to balancing both the aesthetic and functional needs of the space. Flooring preparation involved buffing and smoothing, followed by applying an acryloc primer and a 3mm smoothing compound latex for a seamless finish. IVC 55 Verdon 24280 flooring was selected to be installed in a straight lay pattern for its durability and visual appeal. The Interface Works Flow carpet in charcoal was installed in partitioned areas to add a sleek, professional touch. All flooring was meticulously trimmed with PVC and aluminium trims for a polished look.

When it came to partitioning, Avent Interiors installed two Type 100 Movable Walls; this provided flexibility to the area by allowing the space to be utilised in 2 different ways. The movable walls, comprising of aluminium-framed panels with back-painted, glazed telescopic elements, create adaptable spaces that maximise privacy and control sound transmission. The installation included a top-supported track for a floor-free setup, allowing Squarcle to reconfigure the space as needed.

In the front office, Avent Interiors installed 5 linear meters of full-height glass partitions using 12.8mm acoustic laminated glass to maintain visual openness while enhancing sound isolation. Two slimline frames with 12mm toughened glass doors and hydraulic hinges were incorporated, adding an elegant touch to the front office and meeting area. Pull handles in a satin stainless-steel finish complete the look, ensuring both durability and style.

Results and Client Feedback

The completed project delivered a highly adaptable workspace with excellent sound control, enhancing both productivity and privacy. Squarcle expressed satisfaction with the improved functionality and aesthetic quality, noting the seamless installation and quality of materials used. This fit out transformed their office into a modern, versatile environment that aligns with their brand and workplace culture.

"When we acquired a new office space in the centre of Bristol, we invited Avent Interiors to quote the fit out works, these works included flooring and partitioning. Otto was assigned as project manager and not only did he fully understand what we were trying to achieve with the space he also provided a very competitive quote. We needed the partitioning to break up an open plan area into separate meeting rooms however still be able to move this partition back to restore the original open plan space. Avent Interiors provided the solution of a folding partition which matched our needs perfectly. The flooring suggested and eventually fitted we found to be modern, functional but also durable. The installation process was quick with no snags and we found the site operatives to be professional and helpful. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the service provided be Avent Interiors and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone needing fit out, refurb, dilapidations or furniture."
