Style Interiors were delighted to win and be selected to carry out the complete refurbishment and alteration of the old Dorothy Perkins building on Queen Street to provide Le Gallais Group with new offices and a retail space to let.

The strip out phase of this job uncovered a number of large structural challenges but these were overcome with great team effort and completed within the original programme duration and the end result is fantastic.

Works involved include: fully enclosed external scaffold including roof, removal of existing pitched roof and floors with internal structural steel propping, formation of new second floor complete with new flat roof, damp-proofing to basement, plaster boarding, steelwork and floor joists, decoration, leadwork and external metalwork feature cladding. With the addition of new crittall look windows and insulated render, this building has been transformed back to its former glory, providing a fantastic HQ for Le Gallais Group, now celebrating 200 years in business.

Prosperity 24/7 needed a new office space with the lease of their existing office space under threat. This was set against the background of the Covid and Post-Covid world, and the impact that this has had on attitudes to office working and the type of environments that people want to work in. It also provided an opportunity for the business to deliver on its key values of ‘Evolve. Innovate. Inspire.’ – reimagining their workplace.

The old Tiffins site had borne the brunt of the pandemic and laid empty. This project was conceived by Chris Clark who employed a range of local partners who worked seamlessly together, with Style Interiors as principal contractor, with quality and environmental considerations at its core, to bring his vision of creating a new centre of innovation excellence to life.

These plans made far better use of available space, with the addition of a mezzanine and 3 meeting room pods.

Revitalising a previously empty and sad-looking space to inject vibrancy into this corner of Castle Quay, which appears to have had a positive knock-on effect on surrounding office space.

Style Interiors were delighted to be awarded this project as the design is unique for office space in Jersey.

The project involved the complete strip out of the existing restaurant fit out back to shell along with the Landlords finishes in the Winter Terrace to enable the design team and Client to create a cutting edge design.

With the high floor to ceiling heights it was always the Clients aim to install a first floor level which was done by designing a bespoke steel framed floor with suspended meeting room pods that were designed to give the effect of punching through the curtain walling to give views across St Aubins Bay. The steelwork structure was filled with metal decking and reinforced concrete. The floor was designed to have open area to give views from below and above and finished off with a feature staircase and balustrade.

With the additional floor installed this gave the platform for the remaining fit out works which included on the upper level a mix of open and stepped feature plasterboard ceilings, acoustic plasterboard partitions, double glazed partitions to office internal and external meeting room elevations with full height doors, installation of additional partitions to form restrooms, kitchenette, escape staircase and small meeting rooms and working spaces. The lower area was fitted out with a conference area facility with large bi-fold doors to link the space with the new bar/café are which can be rented out to a third party to operate.

Both levels received a full mechanical and electrical installation and finishes and flooring of the highest quality.
