Working closely with APAC’s warehouse management and health and safety team we surveyed their premises and designed a mezzanine structure with quite large beam spans to ensure as much space at ground floor could be utilised efficiently without a forest of columns. We obtained all necessary building regulations approvals and commenced with constructing a two Storey structure measuring 90 metres long by 27 metres wide with levels set at 4 metres and 7.3 metres respectively, we also assisted with the CDM plan took the role as principal designers. Working to a phased programme the structure was constructed and handed over in phases to allow warehouse restocking.

The second tier was created to function as a showroom as such a full height partitioned wall 90 metres long built off level 2 to the roof of the building was constructed to make a fully enclosed fire sterile zone, central to this showroom was an enclosed stairwell which houses a grand feature staircase that our designers took inspiration from ocean liners of yesteryear to create a centrepiece that APAC visitors see when APAC invite clients for open days or client presentations.
