Albany Brokers

About the client. 

Albany Insurance Brokers is a new customer for Roshal, however we have worked with the team for many years. 

The brief. 

Roshal were asked to design and refurbish a two-storey office in Leicester, modernising the existing space, bringing it in line with a contemporary office working environment for the staff at Albany to enjoy and to impress their clients when inviting them for meetings.  

The team worked hard to designs the space collaboratively with the client, ensuring the final installation was delivered exceeding all expectations.  

Our solution. 

Roshal started by removing and disposing all the old furniture, partitioning and existing kitchen to give a blank canvas to begin the refurbishment.   

The design team wanted to give Albany a sleek modern look which involved a few tweaks to existing infrastructure such as, chasing out the existing concrete floor to install floor boxes for power & data and removing the electrical dado trucking from the walls where we could. These small enhancements make a huge aesthetic improvement. 

We then installed new glass partitioning to zone the newly formed kitchen and meeting rooms. The glass allows natural light into these areas but with the option of integral blinds fitted to allow privacy when necessary. Manifestation was chosen in the kitchen to create difference and interest in this space. 

A minimalistic white kitchen was hand fitted, including new appliances to provide an inviting breakout area for staff.  

All flooring was removed throughout and replaced with Gradus Luna carpet tiles in the office area, vinyl flooring in the kitchen and breakout area, and Gardus Boulavard 5000 barrier matting in the entrance lobby. All flooring was chosen to enhance the design with details in that helped zoning.  

Roshal undertook all decoration, which included statement walls in dusty aqua to match the Albany braded colours with complementing woodwork in white, partitioning and Crittall style entrance doors in black, giving a fresh clean but distinguished finish. 

To complete the fully turnkey refurbishment and finish the area off, we supplied and installed all new furniture throughout both storeys.  This included desking solutions, task and meeting area seating, desk screens, low level storage and large format meeting tables for the meeting rooms. We loved the sit-down, stand-up canopy break out meeting area! 

What an exciting space, with a ‘ready to move in feel’ straight from handover.  

Client Feedback

“Working with Roshal was easy and they took the stress out of the whole process. The designs proposed and advice given at the design stage was instrumental in getting the project fit for purpose and exactly how we needed the office space to be. I would not hesitate using them again for future projects and would recommend to friends and colleagues”
