Office Fit-Out:

UXBRIDGE – Transforming Sauer Danfoss’ European Headquarters

Introduction

Introduction 100

In the competitive landscape of hydraulic and electronic systems manufacturing, Sauer Danfoss Power Solutions stands as a beacon of innovation and excellence. When the challenge arose to establish a new European Headquarters that would accommodate both a sizable office space and a compact workshop for research and development, the search for an ideal premises seemed daunting. This case study explores how Concept UK leveraged its expertise in office fit-out solutions to transform an unconventional space into a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing headquarters for Sauer Danfoss.

The Challenge: Bridging Functional Needs with Spatial Limitations

Sauer Danfoss’ unique requirement for their new headquarters presented a significant challenge: finding a space that could seamlessly integrate a large office area with a small workshop dedicated to research and development. Traditional office spaces fell short of this dual-functionality need, while standard industrial units lacked the necessary infrastructure for a modern office environment.

Our Innovative Office Fit-Out Solution

Our Solution 100

Concept UK stepped in to bridge this gap with a creative and cost-effective office fit-out strategy. Recognising the potential in an empty warehouse unit, our team proposed the installation of new external windows and a mezzanine floor to transform the space into Sauer Danfoss’ envisioned headquarters. This approach not only met the client’s spatial requirements but also offered a budget-friendly alternative to traditional office spaces.

Planning and Permissions
Taking on the role of planning supervisors, Concept UK navigated the complexities of gaining the necessary planning permissions and consents. This proactive management ensured that the project could proceed without delay, laying the groundwork for a transformative fit-out process. Installation of Windows and Mezzanine Floor
The introduction of new external windows infused the warehouse unit with natural light, instantly elevating the space’s ambiance and making it more conducive to an office setting. The mezzanine floor addition effectively doubled the usable space, providing a distinct area for the research and development workshop while maintaining the openness of the office environment. Heating, Air Supply, and Aesthetic Considerations
Beyond structural modifications, Concept UK addressed the infrastructure needs by installing new heating and air supply systems, ensuring a comfortable working environment year-round. Creative design solutions allowed for the concealment of mezzanine support columns within internal walls, resulting in an open, aesthetically pleasing workspace. This thoughtful approach to the office fit-out not only maximized functional use of the space but also enhanced the overall look and feel of the headquarters.

 

Exceeding Expectations Within Tight Timelines

One of the most commendable aspects of this project was Concept UK Limited’s ability to deliver the completed office fit-out within an extremely tight timeline. The swift and efficient execution exceeded Sauer Danfoss’ expectations, setting a new standard for what could be achieved in terms of quality and functionality in their new European Headquarters.
