Urban delivers a comprehensive office fit-out solution for Berry Lettings, including bespoke desks, banquet seating and kitchen.
Berry Lettings approached Urban with an ambitious vision to transform their new office space into a modern, functional workspace reflecting their professional brand while maximising efficiency and creating an impressive environment for staff and clients. As a leading kitchen manufacturer and specialist in custom interiors, Urban delivered a comprehensive fit-out solution that exceeded expectations, demonstrating why they are truly made for the trade and committed to elevating interiors with bespoke solutions.
The client's brief emphasised creating a workspace that would serve multiple functions while maintaining a cohesive professional aesthetic. With integrated technology solutions and efficient storage systems, Berry Lettings required flexible spaces to accommodate individual work activities and client (tenant and landlord) meetings. The challenge was creating a space that felt contemporary and welcoming while incorporating all practical elements necessary for efficient daily operations in the competitive property lettings market.
Urban's experienced design team, drawing from extensive experience in creating everything from landlord furniture to sophisticated commercial installations, developed a comprehensive solution addressing every aspect of the office environment. Their approach reflected a deep understanding that successful commercial spaces must balance aesthetic impact with operational efficiency, ensuring the finished space would support current operations and future business growth.
The project showcased Urban's expertise in creating bespoke furniture solutions using state-of-the-art CNC machinery combined with traditional craftsmanship. The centrepiece featured custom desks with distinctive curved 18mm birch ply legs, demonstrating the precision and craftsmanship that only advanced CNC machinery can achieve. These elegant curves required sophisticated programming and multiple manufacturing passes to achieve the smooth, consistent profile that became a signature element of the space.
The manufacturing process highlighted Urban's bench joiner expertise. Each curved leg required careful hand-finishing to achieve perfect surface quality that met Urban's exacting standards. This combination of CNC precision and skilled hand-finishing ensures that every piece meets the dimensional accuracy and aesthetic quality standards for professional commercial applications.
Working closely with their skilled bench joiner team, Urban manufactured a sophisticated kitchen area in elegant Taupe Grey. The thoughtful kitchen design seamlessly integrated essential office amenities while maintaining aesthetic coherence throughout the design scheme. The innovative integrated printer drawer was a bespoke solution that addressed the client's specific operational needs while maintaining the space's aesthetic integrity.
This specialised drawer system, crafted with the same attention to detail as Urban's premium kitchen units for sale, featured high-quality soft-close mechanisms and internal organisation systems specifically designed for office equipment, including printers, paper supplies, and accessories. The internal organisation incorporated adjustable dividers and cable management solutions, ensuring the drawer remains functional under heavy daily use.
Carefully selected appliances were integrated seamlessly into custom cabinetry, proving that commercial spaces benefit from thoughtful kitchen design concepts adapted for office use. The solid surface worktops provided durability essential for high-traffic commercial use while offering easy maintenance crucial for busy office environments. The contemporary tinted glass splashback added sophistication, complementing the overall design while providing practical protection and easy cleaning.
The banquette seating demonstrated Urban's versatility in furniture manufacturing, moving beyond traditional kitchen units to provide comprehensive interior solutions. The seating incorporates high-density foam cushioning covered in commercial-grade upholstery selected for durability and stain resistance. Frame construction utilised proven joinery techniques and quality standards that Urban applies to student accommodation furniture and HMO furniture projects, ensuring exceptional longevity under heavy commercial use.
Urban's thorough consultation ensured every element aligned with the client's vision and operational needs through comprehensive planning and regular communication. Multiple site visits during planning allowed Urban's team to understand workflow patterns and client interaction areas, informing design decisions and optimising functionality and visual impact.
The design phase utilised robust software, creating detailed 3D visualisations, allowing the client to understand precisely how the finished space would look before manufacturing commenced. The manufacturing process leveraged Urban's CNC machinery capabilities, ensuring consistent quality and exact specifications, with quality control checkpoints guaranteeing every piece met exacting standards.
Project management was crucial to success, with Urban coordinating all elements, ensuring timely delivery and seamless installation while minimising disruption to Berry Lettings' ongoing operations. The installation team worked efficiently, completing the fit-out within agreed-upon timeframes, with final adjustments ensuring perfect results exceeding client expectations.
This comprehensive project highlighted how expertly designed custom interiors transform commercial spaces, creating functional and visually striking environments while supporting improved business performance. The integrated approach meant every element worked harmoniously, creating a cohesive professional environment that impresses clients and supports staff productivity.
Post-installation support included comprehensive care instructions and maintenance schedules, helping Berry Lettings maintain their new office's appearance and functionality. This aftercare reflects Urban's commitment to long-term client satisfaction and understanding that quality custom interiors represent significant investments requiring ongoing support.
