Workspace Loop and Workspace Linear at HPA

Arbex Contract Flooring Specialists were engaged to transform several key areas within a commercial building, focusing on creating modern, inspiring, and functional spaces. The project encompassed the conversion of cellular offices into a dynamic staff restroom/breakout area, and the installation of high-performance flooring in a connecting corridor and a prestigious auditorium/lecture theatre. A key focus was the integration of BREEAM A+ rated products to align with sustainable building practices.

Project Details and Solutions

Staff Restroom/Breakout Area

• Challenge: To convert three cellular offices into a cohesive, open-plan restroom and staff breakout area that promotes relaxation and collaboration.
• Solution: Arbex installed Workspace Linear flooring in a broadloom manner. This design choice was instrumental in creating a visual effect that widened the perception of the room, enhancing the open-plan feel.
• Aesthetics: The flooring provided a neutral yet modern base, allowing for the introduction of contemporary furniture. The furniture scheme incorporated bright infusions of lime and cerise colours, creating a dramatic and inspiring environment for staff to unwind and recharge.

Connecting Corridor

• Challenge: To seamlessly link the newly refurbished restroom area with the existing building complex while maintaining a high standard of aesthetics and sustainability.
• Solution: Arbex installed Workspace Linear flooring. This product is BREEAM A+ rated, ensuring a strong commitment to environmental performance. The brown linear carpet tile design provides a sophisticated and cohesive transition from the vibrant breakout area.

Auditorium and Lecture Theatre

• Challenge: To furnish a prestigious auditorium and lecture theatre with flooring that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly durable, while also incorporating modern design elements and meeting sustainability criteria.
• Solution: Arbex used Workspace Loop flooring in the “Bluemoon” colorway. This product is also BREEAM A+ rated, underscoring the project’s dedication to sustainable building materials.
• Key Features: To enhance the modern feel and ensure safety, the installation included illuminated curved nosings. These not only provided a contemporary design element but also improved visibility and guidance within the space.

Arbex Contract Flooring Specialists successfully delivered a comprehensive flooring solution that transformed key areas within the commercial building complex. The project effectively blended modern design with sustainable practices, resulting in:

• A vibrant and inspiring staff restroom/breakout area that enhances employee well-being.
• Seamless and aesthetically pleasing transitions between different zones of the building.
