Building benefits
October 1st 2011 Two gutterlinked buildings totalling
some 1650 sq m provides firm with
temporary retail space during renovation
An ambitious refurbishment of Longacres Nursery in
Bagshot is underway with some temporary operational
space provided by Spaciotempo for the duration of the
renovations.
To enable Longacres to provide a continuous service to
customers during the works, Spaciotempo has supplied two
gutterlinked buildings totalling some 1650 sq m in size which are
being used as a temporary retail area with integral café. The
larger of the two buildings is 85m in length and temporarily
provides the main retail space for the nursery. An internal wall
separates the café area from the main shop.
Customers gain access via five double fully glazed shop front
doors which provide the look, as well as the strength, of
permanent retail doors. They also flood the interior with light for
a pleasant shopping experience. The second building, 25m in
length, provides an indoor link to the nursery shop creating a
seamless path around the differing sections of the nursery.
Rick De Kerckhove, financial controller of Longacres,
comments: "We have been able to rent the buildings for exactly
the length of time they are required, which has not only enabled
us to keep the business going but minimises any unnecessary
expenditure.
"Renting a temporary building has proved itself to be a
versatile way of managing space
during building works." More articles from Spaciotempo UK Ltd: |
