Office Planning and Design Ideas.

Design your workplace with your goals in mind.

A successful and inspiring workspace originates from a thorough, high-quality design. Our office design experience and creativity are applied to open the doors to an efficient and productive environment. The ideas and recommendations we put forward are always mindful of the constraints of your buildings, your timescales and budgets, as well as being considerate of your organisation's needs, goals and vision.

We want you to be confident with your space before we begin, so we can create 3D visuals, CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings and mood boards to bring your new workplace to life and to allow you to visually experience how your redesigned office will look and feel.

Feel confident with your space.

Office design that works for you.

Space planning is the process of organising furniture and office functions to work effectively together while using space efficiently, enabling your office to work for you and your staff.


Our space planning services include a detailed analysis of how your workspace will be used, taking into account where people will be working and how they will move around the office. We finish off by establishing where the furniture, equipment and hardware should be placed to create the ultimate working environment.


The benefits of effective office space planning include:


  • Providing individuals with the spaces they need to work effectively
  • Opening lines of communication between departments
  • Accommodating for future growth
  • Saving floor space and thus reducing rental costs
  • A floor plan of a room with tables and chairs

  • Interior Design & Consultancy

    Ensuring your office design replicates the identity and core values of your business is of utmost importance. With new businesses rapidly emerging across the country, it is important to stay ahead of the competition by creating an office design that nurtures your employees and attracts new talent.


    This could be done by incorporating branding into your office space, encouraging collaboration by creating open space planning, or using office design to boost your employee’s productivity. Whatever your needs, we take you through the process from start to finish, offering bespoke solutions and hands-on support throughout the journey.

  • Storage & Furniture Design

    Making sure your space is fully utilised with our latest innovative storage designs can make your office less cluttered and provide more space. 


    We create:


    • Storage for unusual spaces - From installing floor-to-ceiling units to creating storage dividers and feature pieces, whatever size or shape your working space is, we veer away from a “one size fits all” approach to create bespoke solutions for you.
    • Graphic design on storage units - The use of colours, graphic designs or printed imagery can help to create a dynamic and brand-focused feature piece for your office. These feature pieces can also be designed with your work, promotional material or awards in mind.
    • Storage walls - Storage walls can come with a variety of design features which can be used as tea points, breakout areas or indeed as a talking piece for the room. 
    • Features that break up space - Breaking up space, by using clever design features that double up as storage, can transform an office and create the right working environment for your workforce. 

  • Mechanical & Electrical Design

    Successful mechanical and electric design evolves from a combination of structural design and in-depth assessment. Our experienced designers can create accurate 3D and CAD visual designs to ensure the package that we design is exactly right for you, before we carry out the work.


    While aesthetics are often the most exciting aspect when it comes to design, we recognise the importance of functionality and safety, particularly when it comes to mechanical and electric design. We take special care to ensure that all unseen infrastructure is carefully thought out to enable a stylish and highly functional work environment, also offering designs that can be put in place to minimise ongoing maintenance and energy costs. 


    We ensure that all mechanical and electrical designs are compliant with current regulations and building control and take into account potential future expansion planning, so as to futureproof your office.

  • CDM Principle Designer Role

    The role of a CDM principal designer is to take the lead in planning, managing, monitoring and coordinating the health and safety of any given project, in accordance with The Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM Regulations). 


    We offer this service to our clients and ensure that all work carried out is done so in line with the latest health and safety regulations. The service we offer ensures that we can eliminate foreseeable health and safety risks to anyone affected by onsite work throughout the project.

  • The Hybrid Office and Social Distancing

    The world of working has changed more than ever since the Coronavirus pandemic. On the one hand, employers have increased health and safety measures to contend with to keep staff safe, while on the other hand employees have become used to a more flexible approach to working, which many are reluctant to let go of any time soon. The need for office redesign is now stronger than ever, and at Glenside, we have the creativity and expertise to design a future-proof space that will meet the needs of a changing way of working.

  • 3D Visuals, CAD Drawings & Mood Boards

    We can create 3D visuals, CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings and mood boards to put into action the intricate details that will make your office stand out and allow you to visually experience how your redesigned office will look and feel. This type of visual design can help both you and our designers see their conceptual ideas brought to life, making both parties more aware of the available space, opportunities for improvement and potential limitations.

  • Selection of Finishes

    From a variety of flooring to a selection of wall and fabric coverings, we can provide a finish to match your style, and can talk you through your options with size, space and budget in mind. Taking into account your brand colours and tone of voice, we ensure your final finish is the perfect fit for your company.

  • Structural Checks & Calculations

    At Glenside, we can assist with the procedures required when it comes to gaining Building Regulations Approval, should you wish to alter the physical space of your office.


    Being well-versed in all areas of office fit-outs means that we are fully informed about the regulations across the UK and any differences between those applying to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Applications for Building Control Approval are made through either a Local Authority or Private BCB (Building Control Body) and we can advise on where your business needs to apply and what type of application is needed to ensure a smooth process.

  • Building Surveys

    A building survey is a thorough inspection that can take up to a day to complete, with the final report following in two weeks. If you are looking to restyle your workplace it is vital to employ the expert knowledge of a surveyor before completion, to ensure that you are receiving independent advice on the true condition of your potential property.


    With over 40 years of experience here at Glenside, we are happy to undertake this for you and to support and advise you throughout the process.


    A building survey can highlight:


    • Future maintenance issues to help you plan future expenditure.
    • Location and significant environmental issues.
    • Information about energy saving matters.
    • Potential health and safety issues.
    • A need for further investigations where necessary.

The office as we knew it has changed forever.
