Chameleon Business Interiors undertook an inspiring transformation project for BusinessWatch, located in Batley, involving the refurbishment of their outdated and uninspiring workspace.
The primary objective was to create an environment where BusinessWatch employees felt inspired, motivated, and proud. The challenge lay in converting a space with specific constraints, including a remote monitoring station known as ‘the bunker’ without windows, into an inviting, comfortable workspace.
Designing Around Challenges
BusinessWatch, a leading provider of security services and solutions, including a remote monitoring station known as ‘the bunker,’ partnered with Chameleon Business Interiors for the refurbishment. The focus was on creating an engaging and inspiring workspace that boosts productivity and encourages collaboration. The unique challenge was to reimagine ‘the bunker’ as a welcoming and comfortable space while adhering to its distinct requirements, showcasing the versatility and innovation of the design approach. The design was meticulously tailored to foster collaboration and ensure the well-being of employees, providing a variety of facilities such as breakout spaces, informal and formal meeting areas, and flexible workspaces.
Making the most of the natural world
Bringing the outside in was a key feature of our project.
A living wall, ceiling foliage and two trees have been installed in a bid to improve wellness, while a further focus was on allowing more natural light to pour in. To do this, we removed all individual offices from the perimeter of the building, bringing them more central to allow the sun to shine through.
All flooring was carbon neutral. Furniture was sourced from sustainability-considered manufacturers to make sure no stone was unturned in the pursuit of a greener workspace.
Providing a platform for further growth
While our transformation focuses on the here and now, it also builds on McCain’s goals to continuously innovate.
Our fit-out featured its own state-of-the-art display kitchen and test kitchen incorporating a chef’s theatre to help drive new product development, along with a brand inspired auditorium to bring colleagues together in a less formal setting.
But it’s not all work. There is also space to unwind thanks to the rooftop terrace, contemporary central kitchen spaces and a bespoke games.
