Project Overview
Fusion Surfaces was appointed to carry out a multi-floor office interior refurbishment within Findel House, a commercial building undergoing wider improvements.
The project focused on upgrading several high-use interior elements across four floors, including lobby doors, washroom cubicle systems, IPS panels and a large reception desk. The existing finishes throughout the building featured a dated brown colour scheme that no longer reflected the more modern interior the client wanted to achieve.
Rather than replacing these elements, the refurbishment centred on transforming the existing surfaces using architectural vinyl wrapping, providing a faster and more efficient route to modernisation.
Goals and Site Constraints
The main goal of the project was to bring the communal interior spaces up to date and create a more cohesive, contemporary finish throughout the building.
The existing brown surfaces across the lobby doors, washrooms and reception area felt dated and no longer suited the wider improvements taking place within the building. However, replacing the existing joinery and fitted elements would have involved more cost, more waste and greater disruption.
Because the building needed to remain operational, the project had to be delivered in carefully managed phases. This allowed refurbishment works to progress floor by floor while keeping other areas accessible.
Scope of Refurbishment
This office refurbishment project included the transformation of several interior elements across four floors at Findel House.
The scope of works included:
- 32 lobby doors across the building, with 8 doors per floor
- washroom cubicle systems
- washroom doors
- IPS panels
- a large reception desk
The lobby doors were wrapped in a sleek grey finish to replace the previous brown surfaces. The washroom cubicles, doors and IPS panels were also wrapped in the same modern finish to create visual consistency throughout the building.
The reception desk formed a key focal point within the scheme. To match the client’s CGI design concept, the vertical surfaces of the desk were wrapped in grey, while the countertop was finished in a wood grain effect, adding warmth and contrast to the reception area.
Delivery Process
The project was delivered in phases to align with the operational needs of the building.
Each floor was completed separately, allowing other parts of the building to remain in use while refurbishment work progressed. A team of installers completed each phase within 2 days, carefully wrapping the lobby doors, washroom cubicle systems and IPS panels before moving on to the next level.
Results and Measurable Outcomes
The completed refurbishment created a noticeably more modern and professional environment throughout the building.
The dated brown finishes were replaced with clean grey surfaces that give the communal areas a more refined and contemporary appearance. The reception desk now acts as a central design feature, combining the grey wrapped verticals with a warm wood grain countertop to add depth and character to the space.
The project delivered several clear benefits:
- 4 floors upgraded through phased installation
- 32 lobby doors refurbished in place
- washroom cubicles, doors and IPS panels modernised without replacement
- reception desk transformed to match the interior design concept
- installation completed quickly with minimal disruption
- significant cost savings compared with replacing existing joinery
By retaining the existing structures, the project also reduced waste and supported a more sustainable refurbishment approach.
