Client focus: Make-A-Wish
When national charity Make-A-Wish moved its head office to Thames Tower in Reading town centre, Curve was challenged to come up with the design. The look and feel had to fit the charity’s role of granting magical wishes to children with life-threatening conditions.
The eye-catching design of the 5,000 sq ft office space includes a special area with a racetrack woven into the carpet and a star-shaped entrance. Children (and grown-ups) visiting the office enjoy the fun and relaxing environment. The Curve team was on site for around five weeks and the office represented a big change from the corporate feel of the charity’s previous office.
“Many thanks to all at Curve. It was a pleasure working with you all. A first class company providing a first class service with great value.”
Mark Curtin, director of strategy and business transformation, Make-A-Wish
Bovis Homes
Bovis Southern Region moved from serviced offices to a 10,000 sq ft office in Chineham Business Park, near Basingstoke. Curve already had detailed knowledge of the building and designed an office that transformed the working environment for Bovis.
Curve undertook a five week fit-out and installation project for the housebuilder. The central informal meeting area, initially considered a potential ‘risk’ by the client, has been a significant success with Bovis’ employees and clients.
“My thanks to Curve. Your capacity to accommodate a client with evolving requirements was exemplary. We are delighted with the end result.”
James Dunne, managing director southern counties, Bovis Homes
Lambert Smith Hampton
LSH relocated its office in Maidenhead after 25 years at its previous location in the town. As well as a change in office, the firm wanted to promote a change in the working culture by using the new 2,500 sq ft space as a collective hub connecting activity in the Thames Valley and London.
Curve’s design featured an imaginative meet- and-greet area, boardroom, co-working table and informal meeting space. A serviced area in the reception is complemented with a more conventional office space for permanent and hot- desking staff. The fit-out was completed in four weeks.
“Curve answered every question asked of them, faced with a particularly tight time-scale. Their designer understood our design criteria right from the beginning, we are delighted with the product.”
Nick Coote, regional director Thames Valley, Lambert Smith Hampton
