Design Your Own 19 More House School, Surrey

Study Areas 20 Sherfield School, Reading Bootham School, York Dragon School, Oxford King James, Knaresborough Study Areas We like to be as flexible as possible to provide you with the furniture that suits your building. This is why we have a bespoke design service, so we can help you maximise space and provide practical solutions. Many schools ask for study areas, so we thought we d give you a few ideas of what we ve done before: Sherfield School- Here we were asked to create an I.T Suite where the base unit could be stored at each desk and also have space to take notes. Dragon School prep room - Each student needed an area without distraction as well as a place to plug in laptops. Bootham School - Bootham wanted a library study area, so we created units where four people can sit and study individually or in a discussion/study group. We also added sockets for electrical items to be plugged in. King James - At this school they needed study room and I.T suite, so we created a fixed desk top space, divided underneath by cupboards which can store computer bases or work files. We also have experience of designing science labs and full libraries.

Offices 21 Offices We don t just specialise in areas for study, our bespoke service can help with any room or area you need furniture for. Here we ve got a case study of an office project we have completed at More House school. They needed a wide range of storage space, including built-in cupboards, a set of cupboards which could also act as a divider between a waiting area and the office and a set of file drawers. They also needed a range of desks for office staff, which included varying ranges of sizes and storage. A new unit was also designed to include a large desk and meeting space. As well as office space we can also design reception areas, staff rooms, waiting rooms or large scale storage areas.

Individual Items 22 Individual Items If you re not looking for a whole room fit-out we can design individual items for you or adjust one of our standard products to fit more suitably to your needs. We can design anything from fitted music room cupboards, to stylish pieces for boarding common rooms or even special wardrobes which make the most of awkward spaces. If you can t find a piece of standard furniture to suit your needs, just give us a call to discuss what you would like and we ll come up with a design.

Finishes & Details 23 Coloured Edging Coloured edging can be added to all of our furniture and can brighten classrooms or identify different houses. Locks All of our storage items can be fitted with or without locks. You can choose from open, a locking bar or barrel lock with key. Finishes We like to make sure your furniture fits your surroundings and so we can offer a range of finishes to suit your building. Handles As standard we fit chrome handles to most of our furniture but if you would like something special we can be flexible. Drawers Our drawers are produced to a high quality and feature strong, easy slide brackets or bottom castors. Castors You can choose to fit castors to the furniture you order. They can be fitted to most of our floor standing furniture.
