學校圓弧櫃台
Mount Eden School Reception Area
這所位於伊甸山（Mt Eden）知名學校的接待大廳，長期飽受座位擁擠、動線不佳與老舊家具之苦，BoxMakers 受邀進行全面翻新。此次升級包含全新前台、嶄新櫃體與訂製外立面，以實用性為核心，同時保留學校的歷史風貌。
Find out what we did to tackle each problem the original reception had:
Flow & Printer Accessibility
Originally, the reception had two forward-facing seats, and one facing the wall. Not only did this cause congestion, but it also affected uniformity. As such, accessing the printer, which was on the opposite end, was difficult.
Since it was constantly in use, traffic easily crowded up. BoxMakers alleviated this issue by rearranging the layout for all three seats to be facing the front, and relocated the printer to a dedicated space we made by the doorway. This freed up a tremendous amount of room and made the reception area feel much airier as a result.
Desk Height & Front Façade
The former front desk suffered from the woes of a low, non-standard height, which made for tight leg space, and a feeling of constriction. In order to expand the space and add more height, the reception fascia had to be altered. To this end, BoxMakers redesigned the lower half with a contemporary woodgrain look featuring both sleek angles and soft curves.
We paid a lot of respect to the original look when designing this, making sure it appeared faithful to the school’s heritage. With elegant lighting and plenty of legroom, the reception looks and feels better than ever.
Cabinet Positioning and Replacement
Facing aging and yellowed cabinets, the school sought a fresh, unobtrusive solution. The back face of the original space featured awkwardly-mounted units that crowded the head-level space and made movement cumbersome. BoxMakers cleared these away, while installing a healthy complement of brand new, custom cabinets all around the edges.
Melteca’s Snowdrift finish combined with Prime Panels’ Premium Ply woodgrain made for a light and modern look. Combine that with Mardeco’s Barcelona handle series, and you have a smart complement of reception cabinetry that is just as capable as it is good looking. With lockable cabinets, double-door shelving units, and numerous Häfele drawers, the staff would want for nothing when it comes to storage.
BoxMakers are pleased to have made the reception a more accommodating space are we are confident that it has made the room much more comforting to work in. Our team is always happy to find solutions that empower not just the students, but also the staff, and everyone around them.
