Ferrostaal

3rd March, 2011 by Melanie Archer | 0 comments

Last July we wrote about a fit-out we were designing in collaboration with Barbados-based firm, idesign limited. We're happy to report that this job – the regional headquarters of German industrial services company, Ferrostaal – is now complete.

According to acla:works director, Peter Chandler, who was one of the design principals on the job [idesign's Giselle Crayston was the other]: "It was challenging because of the timeframe in which it had to be done and the level of detail and precision required by our German clients. Our original time-saving approach was to use more prefabricated components in the design. Because of restrictions in time, we looked for local prefab alternatives to meet our expectations but we didn't always find them. This challenge led to our development of a set of standard details we could use in future interiors projects of this caliber."
