LAB DESIGN

Whether you're outfitting an established laboratory aiming for optimisation or setting up a new research space, we are committed to refining your scientific facility. Our proficiency extends from enhancing existing labs to conceptualising new setups, providing adept guidance on design and layout.

WHAT WE OFFER

CONSULTATION

A free initial consultation to discuss your lab design requirements and early ideas. Following this discussion, a proposal of services will be drawn up for your consideration. 

DESIGN

Our design team will work on space planning your lab and develop a concept and client driven scheme. We produce sketch ideas, CAD drawing packs and 3D renders of the space.

BUILD/FIT-OUT

We can guarantee a quality finish for your scheme by offering a fit-out service as part of any lab design project. This also allows seamless installation of all furniture and design items.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We offer an onsite project management service to ensure the programme is running on time, on budget and to meet your exacting standards. Delivery of all goods is closely monitored throughout.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES & APPROACH

When it comes to Lab interior design, we prioritise safety, functionality and efficiency. We focus on meeting strict safety regulations while optimising workflow and ergonomics for researchers. The design integrates flexible layouts, zoning for different research types, specialised equipment provisions, durable and chemical-resistant materials, proper lighting, temperature controls, advanced technology integration, collaborative spaces, and sustainability measures. These principles ensure an adaptable, safe and efficient laboratory space that support scientific research and experimentation.

FUTURE PROOFING YOUR SPACE

We also understand that future proofing is key for our clients. Our aim is to incorporate the latest technology, whilst making informed decisions regarding scheme specification, to limit future expense.

This comes in the form of audio and visual installations, lighting configurations, electrical outputs and furniture specification.

Will took time to understand our brief and returned with a stunning yet practical design for our new offices.

 

They project managed the whole installation, communicated clearly with us throughout, and we have a fabulous new space, designed to encourage collaboration and innovation among our technical teams.”
