Auction House in Maidenhead

PROJECT overview

Delivering a welcoming, technology-ready head office and auction house built for future growth.

An internationally renowned, market-leading auction house had outgrown its existing premises and was looking for a new office and auction house space where it could showcase exhibits, welcome customers and continue to expand. Glenside completed the full workplace design and fit-out of the auction house and offices, including structural alterations and the installation of a mezzanine floor.

THE CHALLENGE

A constrained, dated space that had to keep working around live operations

The client had outgrown its existing space and needed a new head office with room to expand, showcase exhibits and welcome customers.

Since the pandemic, more auctions were taking place over Livestream rather than solely in person.

The new space needed to facilitate the required technology while creating a strong viewing experience for bidders.

OUR SOLUTION

A carefully thought-out design strategy shaped around the client, its customers and its needs.

Glenside worked closely with the client and key members of staff to understand how the business operated and give the design clear direction from the outset. The completed fit-out included a mezzanine floor to provide additional storage and increase office space below, alongside a specific Livestream room with the necessary data and AV cabling. Partitioning systems created separate offices, meeting and conference facilities, while a new staff breakout and kitchen area provided space for relaxation and refreshment.

Key points:

Mezzanine floor installation providing additional storage and increased office space below.

Specific Livestream room with data and AV infrastructure to allow auctions to take place online. New offices, meeting and conference facilities, feature lighting and staff breakout / kitchen area.
