Birmingham City University

“The space studio has been working for the University in the capacity of architects and interior designers since

 2003 and continues to work with us to the present day in and on-going relationship.

We often get them involved in the trickier projects that need an innovative, design led, yet realistic approach,

typically within a very demanding timeframe. The work they did for the Birmingham School of architecture with

its innovative hub space, demanding budget and timescale is proof of this.

The range of projects they have completed for us include major interior refurbishments of teaching

accommodation, fit out work, signage design and implementation, and an OFSTED compliant nursery. This range

of projects is testament to their ability, flexibility and attitude to working in partnership with the Estates

Department and or other consultants. They have also been instrumental in liaising with the Local Authority on

our behalf on many occasions.

Their services have always met, and often exceeded expectations, have been timely, and value for money.

Whilst we recognise their ability as talented designers we also value their realistic approach to projects in terms

of budgets, logistics, cost control, timescales, and teamwork. These qualities are most noticeable in the major

refurbishment projects they have completed for us where unforeseen issues could hinder a project in terms of

design and cost, but have proved to be challenged they have dealt with comfortably.

I recommend them to you.”
