Spaceway new office layout for Martin
Grant Homes
Spaceway has undertaken a complete turnkey operation for Martin Grant Homes including design, all building and electrical work and the supply of office furniture.
Looking for an interior space solutions company that had the inspiration and technical ability to provide it with a prestigious and functional headquarters, Martin Grant Homes contacted a number of companies to gauge the calibre of design and products supplied before deciding on the Spaceway Group "Spaceway's submission was by far the most impressive", says John Malovany, Group Finance Director of Martin Grant Homes

"Not only did Spaceway have the vision we wanted but Spaceway's management team also had a wealth of experience and expertise which gave us great confidence".
To create the additional space on the ground floor of the two-storey building, it was decided that the existing cellular offices would need to be demolished and the area turned into an open plan environment.
This necessitated Spaceway demolishing the existing ground floor offices, retaining just the meeting room.

Now, with the groundwork finished, Spaceway set about creating the optimum office solution to accommodate directors, senior managers and administrative staff from the drawing office, land department and customer care, surveying, buying and sales.
A new suspended ceiling was installed and seven cellular offices created for directors utilising Komfort Polar glass partitioning which was specially commissioned with Martin Grant Homes' manifestations on the glass.
The offices were equipped with storage walls to provide maximum storage and the areas carpeted using Milliken Vortex quality carpet, which has a 10-year guarantee.
So that the electrics and cabling for the 27 workstations was out of sight, Spaceway cut channels into the floor and columns and then decorated throughout.
A VRF air conditioning system was installed which enabled Martin Grant Homes to utilise the Government's Capital Enhancement Scheme.
To complete the work, Spaceway supplied the 27 workstations with pedestal desks with wire management trays in maple together with operator chairs and screens.
The directors' offices were equipped with bow-fronted workstations in maple with silver work-fronts and executive chairs.
Finally, Spaceway supplied the meeting rooms with tables and cantilever chairs and the reception area with visitor chairs.
"Spaceway pulled out all the stops and fast tracked the project so that all works were completed quickly", concluded John Malovany.
"We are very happy with the finished project and found Spaceway a pleasure to work with".
"We are so delighted with Spaceway's work that we have asked them to quote for refurbishment work to be undertaken at our St".
"Albans offices".
