Innov8's end-to-end design process draws on all disciplines, allowing for big, creative thinking and certainty in execution. The process is tailored to each client's unique needs, taking into account values and culture to achieve the desired outcome.

Phase 1 in our process is called our ‘Discovery’ phase This is where we explore what makes you tick, what your values are and what’s important to you within the project, as well as discovering taste and preferred look & feel

Phase 2 is our ‘Setting Out’ process, where we take everything we have learned through our ‘Discovery’ phase and interpret this information through mood boards and space planning, laying the foundation for your project.

Phase 3 is the ‘Refinement’ phase, where we hone in on the project immovables and solidify the foundations of your project This stage informs us of the visual direction, Loose Furniture Selections and the Orientation of Space.

Phase 4 is the ‘Build’ This is where is all comes together; the 3D model is prepared and rendered, the Loose Furniture selection is scheduled out and any supporting drawings are issued.

Workrise reached out to Innov8 to design and install their new Belfast based office Tech Center in 2021 The commercial interior design specification focused on delivering the project with costing in mind Innov8 did not compromise on quality and used their global purchasing power to secure product ranges that were competitive, functional, durable and fit for purpose.

Innov8 provided designs, furnishings and installation for 80 work stations and multiple function areas including breakout areas, bespoke built-in acoustic sound proof booths, and multiple private meeting rooms designed for 2, 4, 6, 10 and 20people The final biophilic design included neutral tones throughout the office space, soft natural wood finishes seen through the reception, walls and desk tops.

This biophilic office also included subtle green booths and plants to add colour and bring elements of nature into the office Biophilic office spaces are proven to increase staff productivity, creativity and morale The office is a very open and flexible space with a large breakout area and cafe, allowing staff to feel comfortable and encourage communication and cooperation

Innov8 had the pleasure of collaborating with Timothy Lee of PLY DESIGN to develop a new workspace for Tughans, a prominent Commercial Law Firm located in Belfast

The workspace is designed to be welcoming with its warm oak tones and planters that incorporate a Biophilic element.

Desking

From a simple plywood shelf to an elaborate, feature-packed design, desks are the backbone of any working environment Despite their significance, desks are often overlooked in terms of their overall impact on the appearance and atmosphere of a workspace Whether you opt for a vibrant colour scheme or a more utilitarian approach, a desk must first and foremost serve its purpose before its aesthetics.

Seating

When it comes to workspaces, the chair you spend the most time sitting on is perhaps the most crucial element

Back pain, repetitive strain injury, and fatigue can all be prevented with the use of a suitable task chair

Selecting the right chair, arm type, mechanism, fabric, and structure finish can help your seating either blend in or stand out, and ultimately enhance the overall aesthetic of your workplace
