South Northamptonshire County Council

Flexiform tendered for the design, manufacture, fit-out and installation of furniture for this new purpose-built council office in Towcester. South Northamptonshire County Council were looking for innovative designs to assist different departments to make the best use of the limited floor space available and provide a pleasant working environment that included limited document storage and breakout areas for staff.

The building required three floors of furniture for various departments each with their individual needs with considerations for agile working, flexibility, and hot-desking facilitates. The products selected needed to be versatile and able to adapt to the Council’s future needs. A new customer-facing area was also to be developed, which would require a number of private workspaces for the public, as well as breakout spaces. Flexiform went through a series of meetings and workshops to understand the needs and concerns of departments across the Council’s workforce. The meetings addressed storage capacities and furniture, to ensure products supplied met the desired requirements.
