Off The Fence Productions is an award-winning producer of factual television and theatrical documentaries. They aim to give a fresh perspective and high production values across a range of genres that include science, history, adventure and human stories.

Their existing building is a four-storey Victorian house in Bristol, converted into an office space with multiple edit suits. However, due to 10 years of its existing décor, the building required an upgrade, so they contacted McFeggan Brown to refurbish 3,000 sqft of their offices to a space that will attract more clients to the premises.

Works involved a complete strip out of all fixtures and fittings, including magnolia woodchip wallpaper to the entire interior! New installations of mechanical and electrical services, decorations, flooring, kitchen and toilets were carried out along with damp removal and plastering.

All works were successfully completed with a phased approach whilst the client continued their daily operations in the building.

"We engaged McFeggan Brown to undertake the refurbishment of our 3 story period office building at the start of 2022, and we were amazed at the speed the work was carried out, and at such high quality. All stages of the refurb were well within the timescales given, and the finished results were even better than expected. The team were helpful, going above and beyond to ensure the work was carried out exactly as we wanted, kept us in the loop with regards to any issues, and caused little to no disruption to the day to day running of the office. Would highly recommend!"

With its prominent city location, Mostly Media is a business that thrives in helping start-ups and established brands grow by maximising return on advertising investment.

They were keen to transform the 3,300 sqft ground and first floor area at 11 Kelso Place into a space that would enhance the buildings' historic stone appearance and create an attractive place to work for new staff who had only ever worked from home over the past 18 months. Not only that, but they also required the third floor refurbished in view of future subletting.

At the heart of the decision for the CAT B refurbishment was the team, rewarding the staff with a well-deserved place to work. A space they can come together, collaborate and produce creative ideas for the company.

Throughout the design and fit out process, the McFeggan Brown team engaged and worked in full collaboration with Mostly Media building confidence and trust.

After 12 weeks on site, the building interior was transformed from an empty shell into a fun, creative, and open-plan office - not only does it look inspiring but serves a valuable purpose. A space that tailors to a variety of working styles and where staff can escape from their desks to a cosy breakout area, relax and have a game of table football!

Key Design Features:

• Soft furnishings dotted throughout the space, merging office and comfort together.

• Exposed ceiling and services for an industrial feel making the most of the historic building

• Graphics that bring out the local historical era from previous centuries as well clients artwork displayed around the ‘area’

• Meeting rooms with full height glazing with the continued colour and decor scheme subtly throughout.

A rooftop area opens out with bar-style seating & tables partnered with panoramic views over the city centre. In the main open-plan workspace, movement and flexibility has been encouraged through the use of multiple places to work and collaborate away from the desk, including poseur tables, booths and even tilting stools.

Discussion Box is a Bristol based technology company who have recently secured an empty space in the heart of Bristol at 33 Colston Avenue and enlisted McFeggan Brown to create a smart ‘New York City’ style workspace.

The existing base build was simple but still had features that we put to use in the design. The light fittings were a perfect example of this, setting off the space with a linear feel. We worked with Discussion Box to engage with staff and understand what their people wanted out of their new space. Working with a 2,220 sq ft suite, McFeggan Brown completed the CAT B refurbishment of the ground floor and mezzanine suite. The completed workspace is fully agile, with the added benefit of open-plan offices and breakout spaces – meaning collaboration is available when it’s needed. This suite also features multi-purpose individual offices for private working, larger meetings, and one-to-ones.

The natural light flows freely throughout, helping to create a healthy environment.

COWI, a long standing client, specialises in applying world-class knowledge and experience globally based on engineering, economics, and environmental science. They contacted McFeggan Brown to refurbish and refresh their existing office building in York. It was clear that health and wellbeing was at the forefront of their vision, so a full design and a CAT B fit out was achieved to accommodate this.

The space adapts to a hybrid working practice, with collaboration areas within the open plan environment, complete with the best technology to enable easy connectivity to staff working from home. Along with working stations being bright and spacious, height adjustable desks were installed to increase flexibility and allow the staff to work as they choose. Greenery and a range of textures bring a fresh and organic feeling to the space.
