OFFICE REFURBISHMENT & EXTENSION AT WESTWOOD PROJECTS

A Workspace Designed for Performance

At Westwood Projects, we recognise the importance of a professional and functional environment, not only for our clients but also for our team. That’s why we have recently completed a comprehensive office refurbishment, extending into a previously redundant area used for storage at our headquarters, transforming the space into a dynamic hub for our project team. As part of the project, we partnered with signage experts Sticky Media to design and install impactful new office signage that reflects our brand and values.

This milestone marks an exciting new chapter for the business, one that’s about more than just aesthetics. It's about improving efficiency, unifying our team, and fostering an environment where great work can happen.

A Strategic Office Extension That Supports Growth

Like many growing companies, we reached a point where the existing setup no longer met our needs. Our project team is expanding beyond the limitations of the current space, which has made collaboration and communication more challenging as it has grown. Recognising the need for a more dynamic and efficient workspace, we decided to embark on a full office extension that would better align with our evolving business needs.

The new layout encourages interaction and teamwork, making it easier for us to share ideas and work on projects. The open space also allows for greater flexibility in how we use the office, accommodating both individual and group tasks.

The result is a bright, clean, and collaborative office environment where all the primary project operations now take place. This isn’t just a visual improvement; it’s a practical one. By creating a more functional and open environment, the office fit-out has made it easier for us to stay on top of tasks. The thoughtful design supports our workflow, ensuring that everyone has access to the necessary resources.

As part of this transformation, we added several key features to elevate the workspace:

  • New acoustic feature wall and ceiling: This adds warmth and visual interest, breaking up plain surfaces while maintaining a modern, professional look. They also help absorb sound, improving office acoustics.
  • Office partitioning and decoration: This subtly defines zones, such as meeting areas, without closing off the open-plan design, thereby balancing collaboration with quiet spaces for focused work.
  • New lighting solutions: A mix of ambient and task lighting ensures the workspace is well-lit and energy-efficient, reducing eye strain and enhancing comfort.
  • A new suspended ceiling: Provides a clean, contemporary finish, conceals wiring, and improves acoustics by dampening noise in the open-plan office.
  • Modern office furniture: Ergonomic and modular furniture supports healthy posture and allows flexible workspace arrangements to foster collaboration and adaptability.

These updates collectively deliver a workspace that is not only visually appealing but highly functional, helping our team do their best work in a setting designed around their needs.

Signage in the Office: Bringing Our Brand to Life

A major part of our office refurbishment was the installation of high-quality office signage. We worked with Sticky Media to develop a visual language for our space that would be both functional and on-brand.

From the moment you step through the door, our identity is clear and professional. Sticky Media supplied and installed high-quality wall signage throughout the office, adding a strong visual presence to the interior. They also fitted a smart external sign on the front of our office, making our premises easy to identify from the outside. Even inside the office, subtle signage elements help reinforce our brand and create a cohesive, well-finished workspace.

Good signage in an office environment does more than just direct people, it sets the tone. For us, it reinforces our values of quality, reliability, and attention to detail. It also helps to inspire the team and establish a clear, consistent impression for any client or partner who visits the space.

More Than Just an Office Refurbishment: A Reinvestment in Our Team

This project wasn’t simply about reconfiguring the building; it was about creating a workspace that mirrors the standards we deliver for our clients. Our new office fit-out includes modern finishes, streamlined furniture layouts, and a more efficient, welcoming environment, all brought together with cohesive branding via custom office refurbishment. In every corner of the office, the refurbished space reflects the quality and care we bring to our construction and fit-out projects.

Why Office Signage and Layout Matter

When you think about office signage, you might just picture a logo on a wall. But in reality, signage in an office plays a much broader role. It guides people, reinforces branding, and creates atmosphere. From subtle vinyl window graphics to large-format wall signs, every element contributes to a better experience for staff and visitors alike.

And when paired with a well-planned office extension, as we’ve done here, the overall impact is transformative.

Looking Ahead

As Westwood Projects continues to grow, our headquarters now provides a space that supports our evolving needs. We’re proud of the results of this office refurbishment and excited about the benefits it’s already delivering.

A huge thank you goes to Sticky Media for their support in bringing our vision to life through expert signage design and installation. Their attention to detail, creativity, and quality of finish have been essential in turning a functional workspace into a space that truly represents our business.
