Leading-edge law firm gets the Spaceway treatment

Spaceway Group provide Wilsons with additional office space as well as a colourful cafe bar, breakout area with plasma screens and client meeting rooms.

The Commercial and Employment Departments of fast expanding law firm, Wilsons, are now enjoying the benefits of a stylish, airy, new environment following a fit-out of their new offices in Chipper Lane, Salisbury.

Undertaken by Spaceway Group, a leading UK provider of integrated interior space solutions, the new offices provide Wilsons with additional office space as well as a colourful cafe bar, breakout area with plasma screens and client meeting rooms.

With ambitious expansion plans in place, Wilsons, one of the largest private client firms outside London, needed to create more office space to accommodate partners, fee earners, juniors and administrative staff.

Wilsons had already worked with Spaceway on much smaller projects at their offices, and called Spaceway in at an early stage to start work on the designs of this large and complex project.

Rob Thomas, Operations Director at Wilsons, explained "Spaceway has worked very closely with us from an early stage and we developed plans and ideas together as a team".

"This left us valuable time to organise our logistics for the move into our new offices, safe in the knowledge that the fit out was in good hands".

Spaceway developed their design proposals using the latest 3D and CAD walkthroughs and comprehensive colour and mood boards.

This enabled Wilsons to fully understand Spaceway's concepts and visualise the finished project.

Once the entire scheme had been rubber-stamped by Wilsons, Spaceway set about the task of planning and co-ordinating their site activities in conjunction with Wilsons' other specialist contractors.

"Our staff are thrilled with their new environment," continued Rob Thomas, "It has provided us with much needed additional space, improved staff morale and enhanced communications".

The first floor offices were fitted out with a combination of 'Kameo' double glazed office partitions, and the latest space saving, glass sliding doors.

Floors were covered in 'Milliken' cushion-backed floor carpet tiles with a distinctive contrasting circular panel in the meeting rooms and maple wood laminate floors in the client reception area.

When creating the design for the cafe bar and breakout area, Spaceway selected a range of practical yet colourful chairs, stools, glass tables and comfy sofas.

Curved ceilings were introduced to enhance the stylish feel to the space.

"This project was an exciting challenge from start to finish" explained Dominic O'Brien, Director of Spaceway.

"Our interior designer created three vibrant colour schemes for the client to choose from".

"Wilsons liked them so much they ended up using two of them".

"Although we met with some challenging situations along the way, Wilsons have ended up with a stunning fit out".
