Our latest successfully completed project combining all of our company's skills and talents from IT and Telecoms to infrastructure, design and furniture. With a little help from our friends and colleagues at Network Innovation (who we couldn't have done without!)
2. Project brief:
◦ FGS was asked to take what was an existing
standard office unit and turn it into a contemporary
and inviting chiropractic clinic suite, which could
provide a realistic working environment for staff to
work and train in while also attracting external
interest from patients providing a valuable growing
revenue stream for the clinic.
◦ The basis of the brief was around the theme of
Google’s own offices incorporating humour, medical
and Broadgate’s new brand colours.
3. Project brief Cont:
◦ The installation included taking the room
back to a bare shell, providing an
infrastructure of services and the supply and
installation of…

4. We Listen…
to you
◦ Design Principles:
◦ By following some very simple key design principles, we ensure that
every aspect of your project design is aligned with your business
(People, IT and Business Processes) to measurably improve business
performance.
◦ Our design principles are:
◦ Balance Privacy
◦ Make Work Visible
◦ Offer Inspiring Spaces
◦ Manage Connections
◦ Future Proof Facilities
◦ Integrate Technologies
◦ The benefits of good office design are extensive, if we consider the
office an asset then we should also be able to measure return on
investment.
◦ By collecting all the correct information from the outset, we can
measure the success of your project.
Great Design, isn’t about
throwing money at a
project – it’s about how you
spend it.
We believe we’re experts in
our fields and we know how
to extract every last drop of
inspiration out of your tight
budget and that works with
how you and your business
function daily.
When we’re designing a
layout we approach it in a
unique way.
We listen to you.
5. Collaborative
Space:
The world of work is changing.
It’s anywhere and anytime.
It’s highly collaborative.
Workers are mobile, diverse and
networked. Collaborative working is one
of the key business issues.
New technologies have transformed
working life and a growing number of
organisations recognise that successful
collaboration enhances performance.
Four common ways of collaborating
have been identified: working in pairs,
working in small groups, formal
meetings and informal interactions.
Working in small teams is more
efficient. People prefer to collaborate in
smaller groups because it is more
efficient and encourages each member
to contribute.
6. Collaborative
Space:
As part of the Broadgate brief
we were asked to provide a
space which could be used for
multiple uses, but still provide
privacy when required during
its main role.
Seating was chosen that can
be easily slid around the
space to create different
combinations.
A moveable partition
created the privacy
required and a calm
area for patients to sit
and read before
appointments.
7. Working
Space:
Within the Broadgate brief the
two main areas of importance
were the reception area and the
treatment rooms.
Reception Space:
The new reception area
needed to provide the
Broadgate receptionists
with the space to work
and interact with their
patents, in keeping with
the company’s brand
colours.
8. Treatment
Rooms:
Treatment rooms were
redesigned so that the
patients were sat at the
side of the chiropractors
as appose to sitting in
front of a desk.
Brand colours were
accented through the
carpets, and chairs
creating three unique
rooms.
9. Changing
Space:
Every clinic needs to have
an area that can be used
for patients to change
and leave their valuables
whilst having as
treatment.
This doesn’t mean that
the space has to be dull
and purely functional!
We have created four
changing rooms that can
be used by two people
giving you essentially 8
changing rooms for use
at any one time.
10. Using Every
Space:
Every surface is an
opportunity to
communicate!
Simple stickers can
transform your glazing or
even storage wall into a
brand message surface
and basically…just make
your office a much nicer
place to be, and a
workplace to feel proud
of.
This not only gets valuable
messages across to the
patients and staff but
gives the project a
valuable burst of colour!
