CLIENT PROFILE
The Cecil Nurse [branch and showroom] is situated in Edenvale, Johannesburg, and shares its vast premises with the company’s [state-of-the-art] warehousing facility, as well as the Cecil Nurse head office.

LOCATION
Johannesburg, Gauteng.

OCCUPANCY
The staff complement at the Johannesburg branch comprises six administrative staff, three designers and sixteen sales consultants, who all share an open plan space. The five managers have their own offices, which are beautifully integrated with the open plan area.

SOLUTION
The brief was to create a work environment that is not only aesthetically pleasing and comfortable but also functional and productive.

The open plan area also needed to form part of the Cecil Nurse Johannesburg showroom set-up and perfectly demonstrates how furniture is utilised to achieve a healthy and holistic work environment.

Consulmet

CLIENT PROFILE
Consulmet is a specialist engineering group focused on the design and construction of minerals processing plants on a fixed basis.

LOCATION
Modderfontein – Gauteng

PROCESS
Cecil Nurse was requested to space-plan, design and furnish Consulmets’ new corporate Head office building. The existing building they were in was to small to accommodate the company growth, the furniture was also out dated. Consulmet wanted a fresh, calm feeling for their new building. Most staff members were used to having there own space/ office and were now moving to an open plan environment , Cecil Nurse had to take this into decision and design the open plan to accommodate the maximum amount of people without the feeling of overcrowding. Each Director decided they wanted to choose their own furniture as each of them have their own opinion and management styles.

SOLUTION
Benchwork is a always a good solution to an open plan area, as the product is so multi functional. Due to most of the staff having their own office we decided to give them larger desks than usual in an open plan, while keeping the space of the room in mind, so we chose 1600×1600 core desk tops and desk height pedestals. The glass dividers give the illusion of not being boxed in, while the core top gives them ample desk space. The pigeon hole units were used to section of each department, keeping in line with the them of open plan but at the same time creating closed off area’s.

Consulmet is two floors, and they wanted a distinct separation between the two, Ground floor is admin, accounts and meetings, and first floor is sales, marketing and Directors. Due to Consulmet designing their building around a construction/ steel environment we chose dark oak and light oak for the floor separation, this created an earthy feel in order for the metal and rock wall features to stand out.

RESULT
The installation ran smoothly and was completed on time for Consulmet to enjoy their first Christmas bash in the new building.

A lot of hard work and planning went in to the installation as Cecil Nurse had to work around a few other contractors.

Consulmet is very happy with the end result and is still placing add on orders with Cecil Nurse 3 years later
