Insights into your workspace
Space planning is essential in every office design project and involves analysing your space’s current use. Our insights and recommendations allow you to utilise your space more effectively, maximising your office’s potential.
Office Designs tailored to your ideal tenants
Our experience and understanding of design allow us to create bespoke interiors for specific market sectors easily. This approach enables you to design different floors with a particular style of tenant in mind, leading to faster occupation. In addition, we can provide tailored costs, specification levels and timing for each design option.
Improving your current assets
From minor touch-ups to a complete refurbishment, we can help you maximise your returns on your existing portfolio and advise on additional works for incoming tenants. This could include designing air conditioning layouts to be more effective for specific building grids and providing plumbing and water services for appropriate tea point locations.
Speculative Fit outs designed to add value
From shell and core to Cat B fit-outs, we deliver high-quality solutions that help you to maximise your space effectively whilst attracting your ideal tenants. Our experienced creative and technical teams work with you from concept to completion, ensuring a seamless delivery on time and within budget.

The cost per square foot will depend on the exact scope of works. For example, whether it is a cosmetic refresh of the floor or a full refurbishment including M&E renewal. A good guide would be between £60 and £150 per square foot.
The length of time to fit a space out to Cat A standard depends on the size of the premises and the scope of the works required, but for a cosmetic refurbishment a minimum of 4 weeks on site would be necessary.
Larger scale projects are quite bespoke in their nature, which is reflected in the overall timeline. Arke+ are happy to provide initial advice on any considered projects on a speculative basis.
Yes, you can carry out projects within an occupied building, but you need to ensure that the other tenants have access to their floors and facilities and adhere to all necessary Health & Safety Regulations.
If these elements are not included as part of the design scheme, then ‘end of journey’ items which could be planned include bike racks, showers, lockers, and gym facilities.
Toilet ratios are dictated by potential occupancy; for a modern office you should allow 1 person/8m2 60:60 male:female for further information http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/toilet.htm
This can vary depending on the specific circumstances, but generally the most efficient air conditioning system would be a heat recovery VRF/VRV system as it takes account of the varied requirements of occupants, recovers wasted heat and reuses it in other spaces.
