How were you commissioned?

Our project was secured via a competitive tender and design pitch.

Couchbase

What was the brief from the client and how much were they involved?

The client Couchbase wanted a state of the art office interior for their business & team to thrive in. The building is Sevendale House, Northern Quarter, Manchester and is an old listed building with lots of quirky character and features so the brief needed to be compassionate to this, whilst being fresh and new for 2015. The client was heavily involved in developing the scheme and product selections with us, ensuring the 'look' and budgets where maintained throughout We were tasked with providing a workspace that will stimulate innovation, creativity and energy and create opportunity for free-thinking modern businesses to prosper.

Couchbase

How did the brief affect the materials and design choices?

We had to work closely with the landlord to ensure the design and look along with finishes where in keeping with the Grade II Listed building.

What problems or challenges did you face?

None as such, the project was a perfect example of good design and planning and was a breeze to deliver. The client and landlord were brilliant and more than helpful in keeping things moving to ensure the project was seemless in delivery.

Couchbase Sofa

What do you feel were the most unusual design elements of the project?

We installedl a false wall using 'Brickslip' which is real brick slices, installed in a true brick installation. This was very much in keeping with the local red brick found in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester.

Brick Clad

How do you think this project is pushing design forward? What makes it special?

Behind the glazing that faces the main buildings large and impressive atrium we created large laminate faced foam letters spelling the clients name & logo 'COUCHBASE' these were suspended from stainless steel wires. They look stunning and you simply cant miss this key feature when you are walking through the building. The overall size of this is approximately 6 metres long and almost 1 metre high.

Testimonial - Couchbase

"I am so happy with the work you have done, the office looks amazing!

From start to finish your attention to detail has been second to none, the building we chose is a listed building so has caused a few challenges but you got us through those hurdles.

The team you have built around you is the best team of trades I have ever worked with, all of them were professional yet so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The standard of workmanship is first class, I am a 'top snagger ' so if there were any snags I would have found them! Throughout the build I used you as a sounding board and sent you a million emails which you never once moaned about! The work that was carried out was seamless, trades coming in when they were supposed to, the build progressing, as you promised it would. It even finished early which has never happened to me before.

I will be recommending you to anyone who asks and as a rapidly growing company be sure that you will be engaged to do all our future offices across Europe."
