In November 2016 the fast track project of fitting out Joyce Hall for Smartbox to amalgamate their 3No. separate offices into one new campus building to meet their growing business needs and demands. Located off Talbot Street the fit-out has rejuvenated a once derelict building and breathed life into a previously neglected street environment.  Smartbox is a global leader in the production and design of gift boxes and vouchers for every occasion.

The project involved the full fit-out of a five story building, which sits over a shared basement that is accessed via a car lift. The entire building was fitted out for Smartbox, comprising of open plan offices with workstations, meeting rooms, breakout space, micro-kitchens, bathrooms, support services on the upper floors and hospitality and social facilities on the ground floor, comprising of Changing/shower facilities, games rooms, mother and baby rooms, well being rooms, full restaurant facilities and relaxation areas.  T&I carried out the works for Smartbox under a Design and Build Contract with their own assembled design team of experts.

Allied were appointed to supply and install the washroom systems and the chosen product included Polo Cubicles and Hung Panel IPS.  HPL panels and doors were faced with a different colour Formica laminate to each floor making for a very vibrant and exciting washroom experience on every level. Compact Laminate panels were used for the Urinals.  Lead time and delivering on promises were of key importance in such a tight program and Allied in partnership with Thrislington and Formica made sure all promises were met and everyone was very happy with the outcome.  The vanity units and tiles were also colour matched to the Cubicles to make for a “wow” factor when you enter each washroom.

Well done to all involved in a great interior fit out and for winning Best Medium Sized Fit Out 2016 at the Fit Out Awards last year.
