Custom Fabrication for a £1 Million Refurbishment in York
C&C Fabrications, December 2024
Handrail, Staircase, and Suspended Bar Cage for an Innovative Workspace
At C&C Fabrications, we pride ourselves on delivering custom fabrication solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. When a forward-thinking company based in York approached us for a bespoke fabrication project as part of their £1 million office refurbishment, we were excited to bring their vision to life.
The Challenge – Combining Functionality, Aesthetic Appeal, and Flexibility
The client sought a modern, flexible workspace that would suit the evolving needs of their staff post-2020, focusing on work environments that promote collaboration and creativity. To meet these goals, we were tasked with fabricating three key elements:
- A handrail around a treehouse structure
- A custom-designed staircase
- A suspended bar cage.
Additionally, we crafted perforated divider panels and breakfast bar benches to tie the space together, ensuring every detail supported the client’s flexible working approach.
The Solution – Precision Engineering for a Seamless Integration
To deliver on the client’s vision, C&C Fabrications worked closely with the design team to ensure every element was crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and innovation.
- Handrail around the Treehouse: The handrail was designed to offer safety and support while maintaining the natural aesthetic of the treehouse structure. The bespoke fabrication blended seamlessly with the surrounding design, providing both security and style.
- Custom Staircase: Designed as a functional yet eye-catching centrepiece, the staircase was crafted with precision, ensuring both durability and a clean, modern look that complemented the office environment. Additionally, we installed the staircase on-site.
- Suspended Bar Cage: This unique element was created to serve as both a functional workspace and a focal point. The suspended bar cage was engineered to support the client’s flexible work approach, allowing for creative use of the space.
Bryan Lee handled the accurate measurements, while Lee Reed designed the elements in our office. Together, they ensured each component met the exact specifications required by the client.
Bryan Lee, Design Engineer at C&C “Accuracy is key in every project we take on. For this particular job, we ensured the measurements were precise to guarantee the handrail, staircase, and suspended bar cage seamlessly fit into the client’s vision. The challenge was integrating functionality with the design, but it was a rewarding experience to see the final result.”
Leed Reed, Designer Engineer at C&C “When it comes to bespoke designs, every detail matters. Working on this project allowed me to create elements that were not only functional but visually striking. Our goal was to bring the client’s forward-thinking vision to life, and I’m proud of how the design complemented the workspace’s modern, flexible atmosphere.”
Project Manager at the company “Working with C&C Fabrications was a seamless experience from start to finish. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions helped us transform our office space into a modern, collaborative environment. They not only met our functional needs but also the overall aesthetic, supporting our evolving work culture post-2020. We couldn’t be happier with the results.”
The Result – A Flexible, Functional, and Visually Stunning Workspace
The installation of the handrail, staircase, and suspended bar cage transformed the space into a modern, adaptable office environment. The client’s forward-thinking vision was realised through our bespoke steel solutions, which added both practicality and visual impact to the workspace.
The client now enjoys a flexible, collaborative workspace that supports their new ways of working, all while showcasing the seamless integration of design and functionality. Our skilled team ensured that each element was not only crafted with precision but installed to the highest standards.
