DEX Workspaces have delivered Melar Operations’ new offices through the efforts of Alicia Cwiek, its in-house customised solutions specialist, who has worked alongside Darren Zahra, in charge of standard furniture installation.

Edward Coppini and Elisa Fideli of Parallel Architects worked hand in hand with DEX to complete the design for the space. After three months of preliminary design and another three months for implementation on site the project was completed.

The details and technical specifications were identified and furniture designs were drawn up. The criteria were also defined: functionality, easy maintenance, durability and flexibility, whereby Ms Cwiek and Mr Zahra liaised with suppliers to deliver the furniture required, such as TV units, lockers and flooring. Specific materials were also selected, as well as colours to complete the client’s vision and fit with Melar Operation’s branding.

“The space was designed to break away from the rigid corporate look. A palette of solid colours and light wood textures makes users feel welcome and at ease,” said the team at Parallel Architects.

Although there were challenges, such as designing “furniture which fits exactly in the dedicated space, the challenges were overcome. DEX, together with Parallel Architects, sought to improve various aspects, such as acoustics, lighting and flexibility, tying in with the client’s needs and with careful planning and collaboration, this was achieved”.

DEX Workspaces, part of Vivendo Group, offer a complete range of solutions for offices furniture, including the supply, delivery and installation of workstations, raised flooring, acoustic systems, lighting and partitions.
