London has for some time been the chosen home for a large number of global and domestic Architectural and Design practices dedicated to both international and local projects. Inevitably excellence in research and innovation to support these practices has gravitated in and around London over the last 30 years. And this continues to be the case with 17,000 currently listed Architectural practices active in the UK, a large proportion in the capital. At this same time in the mid 80s, we the founders of Spiralis, were starting to breathe the air of that innovation that was going to forever change the landscape of architecture and interior commercial design.
Free standing or floor and wall fixed furniture will be available from standard ranges or developed as a custom design. The furniture integration with the design scheme will be developed for finish, size and function of each item, and the availability of precision engineering fabrication and finishing processes will ensure that an accurate solution is delivered.
This approach requires full coordination with floor and ceiling packages and can achieve the highest degree of transparency by recessing the partition tracks, both top and bottom. The ceiling and floor systems would be engineered to provide the maximum level of flexibility for both partition and furniture integration, following the building grid criteria in their modular approach. Walls can be full height in glass and solid finishes, or part height to create low working walls with uninterrupted lines.
Both the traditional craftsmanship of working with solid wood, or the newer industrial applications using natural and reconstituted veneers gives a high degree of flexibility of achieving unique and distinctive interiors. Elements of flooring, walls and furniture can be matched during a design process with the client's designers and architects which would achieve a consistent level of detailing across the scheme and flexibility for future changes.
Our relationship with selected partners has been built over a period of three decades in some instances, and in many cases the expertise in any particular field has derived from developments addressed at resolving project challenges. Our Partner selection covers most day to day needs for standard furniture and partitioning projects, but also addresses more specialized designs. Spanish manufacturer of tip-up seating for auditoria, theatres, conference centres and multi-purpose halls. Specialized in bespoke solutions including retractable and floor folding systems suitable for multi-use environments.
Irrespective of size, timing and budget of any particular project, the tried and tested method of developing proposals in phases ensures that Client expectations can be met. The very first step of gathering information, analysing it and drafting a number of possible solutions for discussion with the project team will ensure that a project can ultimately be delivered on time, on budget and with the desired technical and visual characteristics, meeting or exceeding expectations. An initial meeting with the Client / Architect to understand the design brief together with any restrictions the project may have be they time, location or cost factors.
With a strong provenance from the commercial interior fit out industry, we aim at delivering the full cycle of activities that are involved from the moment an empty building shell is available to the moment a Client takes occupation. This range of activities can be very varied, including developing or adapting products, appointing manufacturing partners or new suppliers, undertaking the contractual relationship with a Main Contractor or Client, and managing the delivery and installation process to final hand over.
