Our office kitchen fit-out breathes new life into this essential space, providing your employees with a space to connect and recharge.
Modern office kitchens are more than just places to reheat lunch or make coffee. It’s not an exaggeration to say they are the heart of the office, especially in a world where hybrid working has reduced the number of in-person hours.
They are hubs for social connection and places where employees can take time for themselves. By thoughtfully designing a new kitchen space, you can create a space that quietly fosters the culture businesses crave. We create kitchens that combine practical function with brand personality and fit seamlessly into the wider workspace.
Office kitchens are important for a number of reasons. While existing employees benefit from their facilities, modern kitchen spaces can also form part of attracting the best talent who expect these areas to be standard.
They also promote employee wellbeing by giving teams an area away from their desk or office. This space can also double up as somewhere where collaboration can be fostered among staff, casual conversations over lunch can turn into the next great idea for your business, all because teams have a low-pressure environment in which to express their thoughts.
There are also the practical elements to office kitchens in that they support productivity by keeping staff on-site and cutting down unnecessarily long lunch breaks.
An Office Insights kitchen fit-out balances the practical features that make a kitchen, a kitchen, with other thoughtful touches that promote your brand. Expect durable surfaces with easy-to-clean finishes, and appliances that can handle the daily rigour of office life.
The wider layout is, of course, something our designers consider too. No matter the current footprint of your office, we can create a space that slots in seamlessly with your meeting rooms and desk banks. Our ergonomic layouts will be bespoke to your space and created in such a way as to remove bottlenecks during those busy lunch periods.
Your new office kitchen fit-out should reflect your brand as well. To do this, we consider your brand identity when selecting colours, materials, and finishes so that the finished space looks like something that’s always been there rather than something generic and bland.
No two offices are the same these days. With so many new spaces being built, layouts and features vary greatly, which means the need for a tailored kitchen has never been higher.
Our designers and fitters at Office Insights have worked with a number of different businesses, both small and large.
For those brands with smaller offices, we’ve successfully delivered efficient kitchenettes which include all the appliances needed in a modern office while maximising on the smaller footprint so that staff can recharge at lunch.
Conversely, for larger offices, we’ve designed full canteens with seating areas, food prep facilities, and a mix of zoned spaces that ensure every staff member has access to space to enjoy the lunch break.
Our bespoke approach ensures your new office kitchen fit-out reflects your workforce size, culture, and most importantly, budget.
Our integrated kitchen fit-out service means you only deal with Office Insights as opposed to multiple contractors. We’ll handle the timelines and delivery with minimal disruption to your day-to-day office environment.
Discovery: We’ll consult with you and your team on usage habits and cultural goals, both of which help us craft a bespoke fit-out.
Design: Drawings and renderings help to visualise what the finished kitchen will look like and allow you to provide feedback before we get started.
Surfaces and materials: We’ll offer several easy-to-maintain surfaces that are both practical and align with your branding.
Appliance integration: As we fit out your new kitchen, we’ll incorporate lighting and furniture as well as mechanical and electrical works for a complete solution that’s ready to go on day one.
Ongoing quality assurance: As well as carrying out final checks, we’ll also be on hand to iron out any issues or make changes once the space is in use.
Office kitchens really are the cultural centre of a modern office, a place where relationships are built and teams get to know their colleagues beyond their job title and duties.
