Northumbrian Water Group
We’re excited to share a recent project that transformed the atrium space for Northumbrian Water Group, at their Essex and Suffolk office in Chelmsford.
Previously, the area was divided into a small dining section and an informal seating zone, but it lacked a clear purpose and natural flow. The initial plan was to keep some of the original furniture, but we soon realized the space needed more flexibility to meet a variety of needs.
Now, it can easily transition from a large meeting area to smaller brainstorming zones or even a conference setup, allowing the space to adapt to the needs of its users.
Atrium
By taking advantage of the atrium’s height and natural light, we added eye-catching elements like poseur and dining-height canopy tables, cozy two-person rooved dens, and Dixie high-back lounge chairs near the windows. These choices bring a unique visual impact and also create intimate seating options, perfect for more private conversations.
Lounge Area
The centrally located lounge area features a bespoke curved metal frame screen that serves as a room divider. Enclosing the soft seating, the divider is fully backed with PET felt, creating a cozy, quiet atmosphere by effectively reducing noise from the nearby dining area.
Multipurpose Space
With mobile furniture and reconfigurable layouts, this area can seamlessly shift from a large meeting space to smaller brainstorming zones or even a conference setting. Each element is purposefully designed to support the evolving requirements of those who use it.
Dining & Break Area
The dining area has been thoughtfully divided into distinct zones, including lounge, dining, touchdown, and breakout spaces. Each area flows naturally into the next, ensuring easy movement and a sense of openness.
“Jenkinsons provided a complete project management on the scheme, which included designs, plans, sample areas and installation by their professional installers. The whole process from start to finish ran smoothly and on-time. The partnership through-out this project was first class and without hesitation, I would recommend Jenkinsons to any prospective customer.”
