From the interior design of a shopping mall to the strategic planning of a corporate workplace, we are Areen. Our design and procurement services help you realise the full potential of your building project.

We have nearly 30 years’ experience transforming our

client’s aspirations into beautiful interiors, taking care of

every detail required.

As interior designers, we add commercial acumen

to creativity. As suppliers, we bring a design focus

to procurement. Our unique expertise enables us to

protect the integrity of a project, while meeting the

realities of deadlines and budgets. We have specialist

experience across a range of sectors worldwide, from

vast international airports, to beautiful tailor-made

private residences.

At our London Head Office you’ll find architects,

designers, FF&E specialists, Project Managers and

Quantity Surveyors working side by side; what unites us

is simple, the ambition of the brief. We currently have

250 employees ideally located in London to serve all

our International clients.

Design & Procurement by Areen.

Where anything is possible.

Covering every dimension.

We are both designers and design-led procurement specialists so, when we say anything is possible, it is a claim backed up by nearly 30 years building up a portfolio of breath taking projects.

There is no limit to what our team can achieve;

whatever the project’s challenges and location, you

can rely on our commercial and creative thinking. You

can also count on us to take ownership of your project.

We’ve been applying ‘value engineering’ and ‘quality

management’ since our outset. That is why our first

clients are still our clients today.

Project Management

From quick fit-out projects with tight $50,000 budgets to

vast multi-phased schemes with budgets of $10billion,

our Project Managers ensure that we deliver at all

stages. They are involved from the beginning, working

in close collaboration with our designers to establish

a project’s programmes and schedules; resulting in

quicker and more efficient processes from the very

beginning.

Just like the people in it, every office is unique.

The way people work, interact and deliver is as

much influenced by their surroundings as it is

by their management. At Areen, we are able to

provide all our clients with the tools they need to

achieve this balance. Working with you, we will

analyse your current working styles, cultures and

aspirations to ensure that the design is as flexible

and future-proof as possible. If something isn’t

working, we can advise on how to improve this.

If something isn’t being done, we can design

areas that foster a desired result. If something is

exactly right, we will leave it alone. Achieving the

perfect design, which embodies everything your

business stands for, is only achieved through a

thorough understanding of your business and

future needs.

Our fully comprehensive analysis maximises

the entire design and planning process;

from Strategic Planning, Property & Portfolio

Analysis, Repositioning & Relocation

Analysis right through to Change and Data

Management. Each step is carefully designed

to help inform the other, helping our clients

make better decisions about how they support

their people, position their business and

manage their assets.

We can analyse multiple workplace locations and report on usage and infrastructure capabilities. We review everything from planning modules and space standards to energy efficient ways of working, to establish a future property strategy that will increase your organisations productivity and profitability.

No matter the size or complexity of your workplace, the only way to really understand its effectiveness, is to understand the tasks and people that use it every day. We analyse stakeholders, key user groups and managers to highlight key issues we know will make a difference.

Our specialist workplace consultants will develop a detailed understanding of your organisation; its departments, the teams, their structures and existing typical space used in undertaking day to day tasks. We can then establish a series of existing space standards and highlight were efficiencies could be made.

Workplace Analysis by Areen.

Altogether unique.

Using the survey data collected, we can establish the optimum amount of space required for each organisational function and whether it needs an open or closed planning solution. Our goal is to create the right balance of open planning, closed offices and collaborative areas that promote new ways of working specific to your organisation.

We can advise on the right amount of space and balance of work areas that promotes open communication and increased productivity. We can use block planning, area zoning and space planning to design and create a new and efficient planning standard for your organisation.

After finalising your design, we can conduct a ‘Test Fit’ to ensure we have covered and addressed all concerns. We can test any number of items, gather feedback, conduct surveys with users and analyse how the space will be used on a daily basis to ensure maximum efficiency.

Making sure workforces can interact and communicate is vital to any successful business, and we believe teams that can do so without relying solely on technology are more effective. Ensuring your property portfolio supports this is sometimes difficult. We can work with you to analyse how your offices are used, teams interact and how your work-flow is managed, and make recommendations on how you could improve, stream-line and support your working practices across your entire portfolio.

We understand that moving a workforce to new premises or moving them back into familiar space is a daunting, complex and time consuming task. We can help ease this process by managing this time sensitive process, working around your core business requirements, moving people and goods as efficiently as possible, impacting on your valuable time as little as possible. We are also able to spend time training staff on how to better use the space, explaining and demonstrating design features that have been designed to better their experience. We believe this process is essential in minimising disruption and helps engender positive responses and relationships with the space.

At the heart of everything we do.

We are committed to delivering sustainable developments wherever possible. In fact, we are currently working on over 700,000m2 of LEED compliant interiors.

This starts with making sure we keep abreast of the

latest products, materials and techniques, and ensuring

that we minimise our own environmental impact at

our London Head office. We embrace sustainability

as part of the creative challenge and our teams are

adept at working on projects that comply with various

international standards including LEED, BREEAM and

SKA Ratings. Environmental concerns are considered

from the outset, and are regularly self-assessed

throughout the project. We also work closely with

external specialists to ensure our designs are compliant

within legislative and desired parameters.

Working on a project from the very beginning and

across all stages affords us several significant benefits

with regards to sustainable design. We can design

and programme in many factors that can help reduce

energy consumption, carbon emissions and to help

offset initial and on-going running costs, these include:

Selecting products and materials that are energy

efficient, produced responsibly or have low

‘material intensity’ to comparable alternatives

Evaluating products, materials or services on initial

investment costs against ‘Life Cycle’ costs,

ensuring greater ‘Cradle-to-Grave’ value

Installing proven and reliable energy efficient

products to help reduce running and investment

costs

Ensuring designs are people focused, improving

overall staff well-being and productivity

Ensuring all our works are carried out in an energy

efficient manner

Ensuring waste from our sites is disposed of

properly, and where possible, diverting as much of

it from landfill as possible

Partnering and selecting suppliers and contractors

with similar environmental considerations
