Industrial Fit out
The clients, a wholesale produce distributor, needed help to maximise the 600sqm industrial unit they were due to occupy on the outskirts of Brighton.
Our proposal was for two mezzanines in the main space with offices beneath. This had to be co-ordinated around the 300sqm fridge that is central to the client’s operation.
The existing roof and wall structure restricted the head height of some areas so careful exploration of the space had to be carried out to maximise the storage areas and meet the clients’ needs.
The layout was developed around the operational priorities of the wholesale produce business. The central 300sqm refrigerated area was treated as the fixed element, with two mezzanines, offices and storage planned around it to make effective use of the remaining volume.
Existing roof and wall structures created varying head heights, so the fit-out required careful spatial coordination rather than a standard industrial layout. The resulting proposal increases useful floor area while keeping circulation and the client’s core operation clear.
