Project Description
This project involved comprehensive roofing, carpentry, and landscaping work for a temporary office building located in the prestigious Marble Arch area of London. The objective was to transform the temporary structure into a functional, professional space that captured both utility and style, with a focus on durability and a modern, industrial aesthetic. Our team was tasked with delivering high-quality roofing solutions, precision carpentry work, and dynamic landscaping to enhance both the interior and exterior of the temporary building. The result is a modern, well-equipped workspace that fits seamlessly within its urban environment.
Scope of Work
Roofing:
• We carried out a full roofing refurbishment for the temporary building, utilizing materials that provided durability and weather protection while maintaining the building’s aesthetic. Given the temporary nature of the structure, we selected roofing materials designed for both cost-effectiveness and long-term reliability.
• The roof was designed to be fully waterproof, insulating, and capable of withstanding the elements, while also reflecting the modern, industrial character that the client desired for the workspace.
Carpentry Work:
• Our carpentry team installed high-quality flooring throughout the building, ensuring that each area was functional and visually appealing. The flooring was chosen for its durability and practicality, with a raw, industrial aesthetic that matched the temporary building’s overall design.
• We also constructed bespoke skirting boards and custom joinery elements, including shelving and partitions, which contributed to the building’s clean, professional look. Every piece was carefully crafted to maximize the space’s utility and aesthetics, creating a practical yet stylish environment.
Landscaping:
• The landscaping was designed to complement the industrial style of the building while improving the external environment and providing a welcoming approach to the temporary workspace. We laid paved walkways, added decorative stone features, and ensured that the outdoor areas were not only functional but visually appealing.
• Our team also introduced soft landscaping elements, such as carefully selected greenery and planters, to soften the space and create an inviting atmosphere. The landscaping design was focused on making the temporary office space feel integrated into its surroundings, enhancing the building’s appeal while offering a relaxed outdoor area.
Exterior & Outdoor Integration:
• The roofing, carpentry, and landscaping work all came together to create a seamless integration between the interior and the exterior. The roofing was designed to complement the building’s temporary nature, while the landscaping elements enhanced the surrounding area. Our goal was to ensure that even as a temporary structure, the building felt cohesive, practical, and aesthetically pleasing.
Key Features
Durable Roofing:
• We used high-quality, weather-resistant roofing materials to ensure that the temporary structure was fully protected from the elements. The roofing not only provided insulation and durability but also suited the industrial design aesthetic of the workspace.
Bespoke Carpentry:
• Custom flooring, skirting, and joinery elements were carefully crafted to meet the specific needs of the office spaces. The carpentry work enhanced the workspace functionality, ensuring a professional and efficient environment for staff and visitors alike.
Functional Landscaping:
• The landscaping design created a polished and welcoming exterior to the building, with thoughtful use of greenery and decorative features that tied the temporary structure into its surroundings. The outdoor space was transformed into a functional area for employees, contributing to a productive work environment.
Efficient Use of Space:
• All carpentry work, from flooring to custom partitions, was designed with an emphasis on maximizing space. The building was transformed into an efficient and organized workspace, where every element played a role in improving the functionality of the temporary office.
Challenges Overcome
Temporary Nature of the Building:
• Given the building’s temporary nature, the project required careful consideration of materials and design to balance durability with the need for easy disassembly or adaptability. We used high-quality materials that ensured long-term functionality without compromising the building’s ability to adapt to future needs.
Designing for Flexibility:
• Since the building is a temporary workspace, it needed to be versatile. We focused on creating spaces that could easily be reconfigured or repurposed as needed, without sacrificing aesthetic quality or professional appeal.
Space Limitations:
• Maximizing the available space in a temporary structure presented a unique challenge. Through our carpentry work and layout design, we optimized the building’s interior to ensure a functional, practical workspace while maintaining an industrial, sleek look.

The completed project has transformed the temporary office building into a functional, modern workspace that reflects the industrial aesthetic and professional environment sought by the client.
