Office refurbishment Traverse Theatre Edinburgh

Traverse Theatre was founded in 1963 with the idea to extend the spirit of the Edinburgh Festival throughout the year.

Traverse Theatre were looking to have their offices refurbished. Their offices are situated in the basement of the iconic building on Cambridge Street that is part of the Saltire Court development on Castle Terrace:

Office refurbishment Traverse Theatre Edinburgh

The open planned office held 20 staff, as well as two internal offices and a make shift meeting room, the client wanted to add another office as well as a meeting room to give staff a proper space in which to hold meetings.   

The client had recently purchased new furniture and were looking to carry out the works as quickly as possible taking advantage of their quiet cultural period in the year. Amos Beech transformed their office space in Edinburgh, using glass partitioning to create a new frontage for the offices and meeting room and solid partitioning to divide. A new bespoke coat storage was constructed allowing staff a place to store their outdoor items. The office was decorated throughout incorporating feature walls of colour. New LED lighting was installed to brighten up the basement space as well as new carpet tiles to define the open plan and office space. The air conditioning system was also renewed and altered to suit the new office layout.

Sit stand desking and seating for AMP Clean Energy

AMP Clean Energy (HW Energy) are a progressive and dynamic company who design and install bio-mass heating systems for their clients all over the UK.  Of particular note though, is their office location – sitting under the north west slopes of Britains highest mountain – Ben Nevis and conveniently close to Aonach Mor where you can take a Gondola ride up the mountain. 

AMP Clean Energy, purpose built their offices 10 years ago and the intervening years have seen their workforce grow which meant that the office space had been altered bit by bit over the years too.  The result’s left a lot to be desired and did not use the available space very efficiently and with more staff joining, they knew that a refurbishment was required.

Amos Beech were asked to visit and were more than happy to, given that the initial visit was during what proved to be an amazing summer and a lovely day out of the office was enjoyed by Vincent and Sam

Over a few weeks and some inevitable bumps and hurdles over budgets and layouts, AMP chose to order sit/stand desking for all their staff along with the Viasit Drumback task chair. The new layout has transformed the space and now feels a lot more airy and less cluttered than it did previously. 

Upgrades to flooring throughout the space have been carried out and the Amos Beech team will be on site again soon to complete the refurbishment of their break-out space.  So look out for the update and we may well include some pictures of Ben Nevis in the springtime!

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.

A new office for MNM Developments in Leith Edinburgh

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! Amos Beech have this AMAZING connection with #treesforlifeuk where they plant a certain amount of trees for the square footage of each completed project. On our behalf they planted 24 trees in total! . We feel so privileged to be part of such an amazing cause 🌲 .
