Commercial Interior Design
ruCreative is home to an award winning commercial interior design studio and a team of experts in all things interior. We push boundaries and always strive to provide our clients with exceptional spaces.
With our combined technical knowledge and commercial understanding, we’ll work closely with you to maximise your fit-out budget and create an environment that not only works for your end users, it’ll wow them.
Covering workspace interiors, retail and hospitality design, we offer a tailored solution to best serve your requirements, whatever they may be.
Space Planning
Making the most of your office space is essential to your business. It plays a key role in determining your people’s ways of working, and so is an integral part of any project we take on. A well planned office space will increase productivity, staff morale and ultimately the success of your business.
We can assist with building searches, feasible studies and an in depth workplace analysis to help you make an informed decision for your business.
Our team will then draw up plans that define the zones of the space and the activities that will take place, ensuring each area is designed with the end users in mind.
We can then develop these plans into all the necessary drawings required for the design and fit-out process.
Furniture Procurement
Furniture is usually the final element of the fit-out process, and yet it is an essential part of any project.
We’ll look at how you and your teams work during our investigation stage, and ensure the layout, design and choice of products completely reflects your company’s ethos and physical work flow. Whether you’re looking for a more traditional set up, or are moving towards new ways of working, we’ll help you curate the perfect environment for you and your teams.
As an independent design consultancy we’re not restricted to one supplier, allowing us to put forward the perfect furniture specification for every project we’re involved with.
Our continuous research of the furniture market gives us the knowledge and expertise to specify the right products for you, within budget, style, form and function.
We encourage our clients to source responsibility, and promise to always review our suppliers environmental policy, supporting those with excellent green credentials. Any commercial products we recommend will have the relevant guarantees or warranties, so you can rest assured that your furniture will stand the test of time.
Bespoke Furniture Design
Should you be looking for a completely custom set up, our team is on hand to bring your ideas to life with fully bespoke furniture and finishes.
We’re constantly researching the latest trends and themes in the interior design world, and are always up for the challenge of creating something new. We have worked on enough bespoke projects in our time to know what works well, and what doesn’t, and we’ll always be honest with you if we think there is a more efficient or effective way of doing things.
While it can be easy to get swept up with a specific look, functionality is a key factor in the design process and so underpins everything we do. After all, it’s no good having a space that looks great but doesn’t work for you and your team! Together with our network of skilled craftsmen and fitters, we can create something that is uniquely yours.
Site Measures & Workspace Analysis
Over the years, we’ve completed hundreds of site measures across the workspace, retail and hospitality sectors. We come prepared with a laser guide in hand, allowing us to carry out a detailed measure of the building or space. We then transfer it over to our CAD software, producing an accurate scale drawing from which we can start the exciting design bit of the process. To the bare bones, we add all the details that will make your space into one that’s engaging, inspiring and and true to you.
Technical
Once you’ve approved the concept, our technical team will transform the ideas into a reality. We provide complete working drawing packages with full specifications to allow the fit-out contractor to accurately deliver your concept.
The drawing package typically includes room data sheets, general arrangement plans (GA Layouts), reflected ceiling plans (RCP), partitioning, flooring, light level calculations, decorations, signage, door schedules, furniture, bespoke joinery, power and data, and elevation drawings. No detail is too small, it’s what makes the space uniquely you!
Branding & Graphics
We understand the power of a strong brand, which is where our knowledge and experience often sets us apart.
Your interior is an extension of your brand, and what it stands for – it’s what people see, feel and familiarise with as soon as they walk through your doors.
Our team is on hand to help you develop your brand within its new commercial interior, using design as a way to articulate your values, drive success and grow as a business.
3D Visualisations
We use 3D visualisation as a part of the design process to ensure the space looks and works as best as it can. Using the latest software and technologies, we’re able to bring the design to life in the form of walkthroughs, 360 panoramic room settings and virtual reality goggles.
This is the best way to communicate a concept, whether it is to staff, investors or a board of directors, fully immersing them in what the space will look and feel like. It also provides an opportunity to provide valuable feedback, ensuring the project delivers exactly what you’re looking for.
We can tweak lighting, finishes and colours throughout the design phase to create the perfect end result, saving you time and money when it comes to the build stage, at which point alterations can be costly and may set back the completion date.
Consultancy
Once we have agreed on the design, we can introduce you to some of how recommend fit-out partners, whom we have delivered countless projects with over the years. We can help with tendering your project, analysis the fit-out quotations with you, and value engineer if necessary. When you appoint us, we feel it’s our duty to ensure you’re getting best value and service.
Throughout the construction phase we can liaise with the relevant contractors / attend site process meetings, and offer our full support until the competition of the project. At the point of practical competition we can help with any snagging issues and advise on those key finishing touches to dress the space.
