The Hub, Fort Dunlop, Birmingham

Client: Voice Solutions in association with Orange
Status: Completed December 2006


A business to business retail outlet with supporting call centre for its customers on the ground floor of Urban Splash's impressive Fort Dunlop refurbishment.

The design responds to the imposing industrial aesthetic of the building whilst using a number of contemporary insertions to reflect the company ethos and its service sector. The unit includes a retail area at the front, a call centre, staff areas, a series of private offices, and a large boardroom on the open plan mezzanine floor overlooking the retail area.
