Acoustic Panels & Doors at Alan Gilbert Learning Centre


We were engaged by our client to manufacture, supply and install a variety of bespoke joinery, including laminate faced doorsets and white acoustic panelling.

A client-driven design brief was for solid European Oak wall panelling throughout the development to replicate that used in a historic building also owned by the client.

Our brief was to set out wall panelling to the window reveals and faces to exacting dimensions and on occasion before the reveals had been properly formed. The coordination that was required to achieve such a demand led us to take full design responsibility for the same.

The wall panelling, once completed, looked spectacular and it was quickly extended to cover existing columns and walls throughout the building. A final pièce de résistance of the cladding was the incorporation of a quote wall within the main reception area. We set out and etched quotations from many sources into the wall, making it a stunning visual display.

Once established on-site our client engaged us to design, manufacture and install reception desks, IT points, recycling stations and numerous pieces of bespoke stand-alone furniture. Many of these items are  high gloss laminates and solid surface finishes.
