“As a novice to the design and build process Harrison Stringfellow made us feel at ease and communicated in way that was completely transparent and in a language we all understood!

They often went beyond what was required to ensure we felt comfortable with key decisions, keeping us in the loop of all aspects of the design process through exemplary project management. The project was completed on time, within a very tight construction budget and we are delighted with the results.”

Example Project: The Flint, Utility

Furniture Design Store retrofit of industrial taxi garage

“We wanted to retain the industrial theatrics of the original taxi garage”

The Flint was the redevelopment of a two storey brick built warehouse into a furniture showroom, exhibition and office space in the heart of the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool for Utility Design. The proposal makes best use of the building’s existing industrial characteristics, with a double height space for the showroom and the erection of a mezzanine to the rear for the open plan office and meeting areas.

Large pieces of furniture needed to be displayed within the space and HSA worked alongside the client’s branding and furniture install team to design, coordinate.

The client was committed to reducing the whole life carbon of the building and so we took a four pronged approach to achieving this: Fabric First, Low Embodied Carbon, Reducing Operational Carbon, Local & Circular Economies. The interior finishes are driven by the concept of prioritising local, reclaimed and bio-based natural materials where possible.
