Study Areas

Sherfield School, Reading Dragon School, Oxford

Bootham School, York King James, Knaresborough

We like to be as flexible as possible to provide you with the furniture that suits your building. This is why we have a bespoke design service,

so we can help you maximise space and provide practical solutions.

Many schools ask for study areas, so we thought we’d give you a few ideas of what

we’ve done before:

Sherfield School- Here we were asked to create an I.T Suite where the base unit could

be stored at each desk and also have space to take notes.

Dragon School prep room - Each student needed an area without distraction as well as

a place to plug in laptops.

Bootham School - Bootham wanted a library study area, so we created units where four

people can sit and study individually or in a discussion/study group. We also added

sockets for electrical items to be plugged in.

King James - At this school they needed study room and I.T suite, so we created a fixed

desk top space, divided underneath by cupboards which can store computer bases

or work files.

We also have experience of designing science labs and full libraries.

OfficesOffices

We don’t just specialise in areas for study, our bespoke service can help with any room or

area you need furniture for.

Here we’ve got a case study of an office project we have completed at More House

school. They needed a wide range of storage space, including built-in cupboards, a set of cupboards which could also act as a divider between a waiting area and the office and a

set of file drawers.

They also needed a range of desks for office staff, which included varying ranges of sizes

and storage. A new unit was also designed to include a large desk and meeting space.

As well as office space we can also design reception areas, staff rooms, waiting rooms

or large scale storage areas.

Individual Items

Individual ItemsIf you’re not looking for a whole room fit-out

we can design individual items for you or adjust one of our standard products to fit

more suitably to your needs.

We can design anything from fitted music room cupboards, to stylish pieces for

boarding common rooms or even special wardrobes which make the most of awkward spaces. If you can’t find a piece of standard

furniture to suit your needs, just give us a call to discuss what you would like and we’ll

come up with a design.
