The Brief
The Navigation House refurbishment aimed to modernise and optimise key areas within the building, including the staff kitchen, meeting rooms, and working spaces. The focus was on improving functionality and aesthetics while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Key Objectives:
Staff kitchen: Update the look and feel, remove amphitheatre seating, repaint walls in soft grey, and add a coffee point to reduce congestion.
Meeting rooms: Remove wallpaper murals and repaint walls grey for a professional appearance.
Staff working area: Eliminate branding, repaint walls and pillars grey, and streamline the overall design.
The project delivered a refreshed, cohesive workspace with a neutral aesthetic. Space optimisation in the kitchen reduced congestion, while modern updates like the coffee point and splashback improved staff convenience.
