Transforming an empty office space into a new home for Recast
Recast approached Amos Beech to assist them with their move from serviced offices in Edinburgh’s New Town to their own offices as their growth trajectory continued.
Recast enables sports fans to access the content they want, subscription-free. The unique offering is monetising modern day viewership and creating more funds to be invested back into the grassroots of sport.
As a rapidly growing tech company, bricks and mortar was a new discipline for the team and they needed a company that could deal with all aspects of their requirements including design, construction/fit-out and furniture.

The Amos Beech design team were delighted to apply their skills to transforming an empty office space into a new home for Recast. Using the core brand colours of yellow and grey, you can feel the energy and commitment to excellence that is also seen in the images that have been selected.
Multiple meeting spaces, both inside and out, using a wonderful rooftop terrace with views across to Edinburgh’s Old Town and its 1,000 year old Castle provide plenty of additional inspiration.
Double glazed partitioning was specified to help with sound attenuation along with aluminium framed solid timber doors for an enduring and quality finish to the space.
For those moments when you need peace and quiet or simply the ability to take or make phone calls in private, single person booths were installed to ensure that the rights spaces were available for the team without making inefficient use of meeting rooms.
Quality UK and European furniture was supplied and installed by the Amos Beech Furniture Consultants – all expertly specified and manufactured to compliment the stunning space that we created.
A carefully managed construction phase was duly completed and despite the many supply chain challenges that came with 2021, all of the furniture was delivered and Recast were able to officially open their offices on time and in budget.
The finished result is a wonderful fusion of different types of workspace and meeting/breakout areas that reflects the brand and the work that Recast do.

Showroom office space for Envipco in Newbridge
Ahead of the launch of the Scottish Government’s new deposit return scheme, Envipco needed an office from which they could showcase their products to retailers in Scotland. Conveniently located close to Edinburgh airport and Scotland Food & Drink offices in Newbridge, they secured a bright and airy space that required a complete office refurbishment with an Interior Design scheme that reflected their environmentally friendly business model.

Working with the Amos Beech Interior Designers over video calls (the Envipco head office is in America) they were able to share their vision for the space and we were able to interpret it in the built environment.
Flexibility was key in getting the design right given that this is their first UK office and they were keen to ensure that all of the potential use case scenarios could be accommodated.
Using finishes and surface textures along with graphics to tell the Envipco story the finished interior is an inspirational space for colleagues and customers alike. Careful selection of furniture items that are either 100% recyclable or already made from recycled plastic materials adds to the design ethos for a sustainable and futureproof space.
As is usually the case, deadlines were tight and a co-ordinated effort was required to ensure the opening date was met. This only highlights the benefits of the Amos Beech approach to office design & build. By bringing the full service under one roof and having all trades co-ordinated and answerable to our Project Manager, we are able to deliver on-time, on-budget projects. Our clients have the peace of mind that their work is being completed to the correct standards and they are able to continue their day-to-day business without having to spend time chasing trades and worrying that deadlines will be missed.
A new office for MNM Developments in Leith Edinburgh
MNM Developments approached us in the middle of last year, to assist with interior design, furniture and fit-out plans for their new offices in Edinburgh. The brief was to design an office interior which reflects the quality of the luxurious property developments that they are renowned for and to have a relaxed, comfortable feel.

With this in mind, we designed a bright and modern homely working environment, carefully selecting products and finishes to reflect the client’s vision. The reception desk is finished in Light Grey Concrete echoing the use of building materials used in construction, along with the unique “Rebar” console table in the boardroom, which provides the contrast between the beauty of wood and raw industrial metal.
A glass screen partition featuring their corporate logo provides a backdrop and separation to the office but still maintains an open plan feel. Grey Seagrass vinyl floor has been Herringbone laid mirroring the pattern of the MNM brand.
Soft seating has been upholstered in pure new wool fabric made from premium New Zealand lambswool in tones of greys and soft blues. That together with the beautifully rich and deep shade of walnut on the desks and custom-made storage provides warmth and a luxurious feel.
Feature Linear lighting in walnut and concrete compliments the finish of the interior.
To top it all off, our client said of us “Amos Beech brought our vision to life and made the most stressful process not as stressful as we had originally thought”.
More kind words from their Instagram account:
So a little preview of what our new HQ looked like before we got stuck into the interior design with @amosbeech. This building has been in the Teague family for 2 decades and hasn’t really had any work done to it during that time. So the refurb was well needed before we could move in ——— #mnmdevelopments #edinburghbusiness #officerefurb #newproject
And our official AFTER images. We can’t believe the finished product that we now have. It exceeded our expectations and we are glad we took the plunge and appointed @amosbeech with the contract! ——— #highlyrecommended #mnmdevelopments #interiordesign #officefitout #officerefurb
As most of you will know by now we recently moved into our new HQ on Salamander Street (images to follow shortly). . Our interior fit out was done by the wonderful @amosbeech who we can’t recommend enough. They brought our vision to life and made the most stressful process not as stressful as we had originally thought!
