Introduction
Monahans, a leading firm in chartered accounting and business advice, came to Avent Interiors to invite them to quote for a project involving partitioning in their Swindon office. This specific project was based at their office in Trowbridge, Somerset. The client, much like Avent Interiors, operates in the South West and has multiple offices in key locations such as Swindon, Bath, Bristol, Trowbridge, Taunton, Cirencester, Malmesbury, Chippenham, Frome, Fairford and Glastonbury. The main goal of the project was to reorganise the space plan to create a more optimal environment, creating private offices for partners in the business.
Client Background
Established in the 1890s, Monohans offers a range of specialised services that include but are not limited to Corporate Finance, Tax Consultancy, Audit, Business Recovery and Insolvency, Digital Cloud Accounting, Payroll, HR Services and Probate. One specific challenge that Monohans faced with their existing fit out was the lack distinct private office areas with adequate soundproofing.
Project Goals
The primary goal of this project was to transform an outdated office layout into a modern workspace. Key requirements included the removal of existing partitions and kitchen spaces to create four new offices. The client emphasised the importance of achieving an organised, visually appealing design with consistent use of aluminium finishes and frosted glass elements. Additional specifications involved adherence to industry standards for office partitioning and safety regulations, along with sustainability considerations through the reuse of materials where possible.
Solution and Implementation
The team at Avent Interiors implemented a phased approach that covered planning, design, and construction. They began by conducting enabling works, including the removal of demountable partitions and kitchen fittings and reconfiguring the HVAC systems. In the main office area, Avent Interiors installed 25 meters of partitioning with double glazing and integrated blinds, constructing private office spaces while maintaining natural light.
The project required collaboration within the Avent Interiors team to strike a fine balance between the layout and aesthetic goals. Throughout the project, Avent Interiors prioritised using high-quality, durable materials, including 100mm aluminium skirting and laminated glass for acoustic benefits. Installation of 12.8mm acoustic glass doors with drop seals further enhanced soundproofing. Final touches included the application of frosting bands and precise caulking, ensuring a polished, cohesive look.
Results and Client Feedback
The project successfully achieved a modern, efficient workspace that met all client requirements. The open-plan layout, combined with private offices, has led to improved spatial flow and employee productivity. The client expressed satisfaction with the results, noting the professionalism of the Avent Interiors team and the high-quality finishes achieved.
