Philip Page of IWS transforms “Craft Court”, a tired 1970’s building, into a vibrant community hub and modern office
Working with an engaged client and project team all of SBHG’s requirements were achieved to budget and programme including:
A welcoming and supportive area for residents An attractive training area with refreshments Flexible in-house meeting and training space Drop in work space for SBHG employees Storage space for tools and equipment to maintain SBHG’s 5,000 + properties
“I have recently had the genuine pleasure of working with Philip on the re-design and re-launch of our community hub office space in Hammersmith. Philip took our unloved and unused building and brought it back to sparkling new life - his intelligent and sensitive design has ensured a long term future for the building for years to come. Philip is passionate about delivering excellent results, has an amazing eye for detail and really listens and understands his clients requirements. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him”. David Blackburn Chartered FCIPD

Before
Full height glazing creates a sense of space reducing the impact of the low ceiling height
The shallow ceiling void necessitated surface
mounted luminaires.
Low profile fittings were selected specifically to maintain the contemporary aesthetic and
further minimise the impact of the low ceiling height
After
Before and after photographs demonstrate the transformation of the central corridor into an inviting
design feature
Careful detailing provides an attractive solution resolving the different ceiling heights of the Ground and Mezzanine Floors
Before After
An uninviting and cluttered office becomes a modern and attractive workspace by the use of colour,
light and finishes
Before After
Every element of the design was developed and evaluated against
SBHG’s brief for everyone to “Enjoy the experience – client / resident experience should be
positive”
Before After
The dark, claustrophobic Mezzanine floor becomes an
attractive, inviting and flexible work and meeting environment
Before After
The existing unattractive staircase was a highly visual element linking the Ground and
Mezzanine floors.
The staircase needed to become part of the overall aesthetic which is achieved with
feature lighting, colour and product
Before After
Before
Light, product and finishes combine to create a modern and welcoming
space achieving SBHG’s desire for all to: “Enjoy the experience – client /
resident experience should be positive”
