The Chimney House
Interior Architecture
March 2010
To cement our place in Sheffield’s ex industrial/new creative era we’ve a landmark building to show you. We’ve been working on this project for over 12 months, and it’s been quite a journey. Why have we done it? To provide a base for our design office, and to create a space for people with creative ideas or discussion to use as a place of inspiration. We’ve already held a number of business design meetings and we’ve many more booked in the calendar. As part of our design service we offer clients a free injection of creative thinking to any meeting you want to hold in The Chimney House. Oh, and yes the chimney is 93ft high – does it make sense now?

Interior Architecture
September 2009
Having already worked on two stores with G-Star, we were asked to produce their new store in Sheffield’s city centre. Our role was to work closely with G-Star’s in house architecture team to ensure that all design elements were carried out as intended. By pulling together our multi skilled team of contractors we were able to provide G-Star with a complete and well-crafted store including a 200 sqm polished concrete floor with 4 metre oak finished changing rooms.

The Eye Place
Interior Architecture
June 2007
Bringing a little bit of Knightsbridge to the Peak District National Park was our goal. Reflecting our clients sophisticated personality was key. We designed and made bespoke cabinetry with high end ‘Gucci’ style display cases and incorporated light solutions which gave dual purpose of illuminating the store as well as providing alternative signage. Using reflective surfaces which concealed crafty storage solutions but which gave the product enough simplicity for the frames to up-sell themselves was one of the techniques we used to maximise space. Design, product source and project management… all covered.

The Chimney House
Identity and Branding
March 2010
Out on a Sunday stroll with a camera around Sheffield in late February. There’s still a fascinating number of factories still within a short walking distance of the main retail centre of Sheffield City Centre. Forgotten works with rusting signs we’re our main focus this time around, as we tried to capture the last of a declining industry before the developers move in for good. These rich and early pioneering environments are perfectly matched with The Chimney House branding, capturing a future sense of times past. We’ll keep adding to this photo collection, in the mean time more are available to view now at www.flickr.com/photos/thechimneyhouse, and on The Chimney House project overview.

Nonnas
Identity and Branding
February 2010
Going back to their roots, we helped Nonnas identify a strategy for moving the brand forward, analysing their previous identity from their first incarnation, a hand written piece of script. Bringing it up to date and maintaining a strong sense of familiarity we’ve applied the logo to new applications such as this wax seal. Building content like this for any brand is critical, and using the accompanying statement ‘Importato Dall’ Italia’ reinforces Nonnas ties to Italian cooking, food and passion.

The Chimney House
Identity and Branding
February 2010
A modern icon of a historic building. Set on the banks of the Goit, The Chimney House with it’s 93ft chimney soaring into the skies needed no other depiction. As one of very few buildings on the Island, we were keen to include the ex industrial, now high class residential and heritage buildings surrounding The Chimney House – to help provide a context for the building. A bold and choicey range of colours play their role in defining a nostalgic yet modern feel to the brand.

Recognising Nonnas as a premier independent brand, we approached Nonnas about delivering their own products in their existing Cucina’s and delicatessens. The brief, to create vibrant, authentic and Italian inspired artwork for a range of fine Italian food products ranging from biscuits, pastas, sauces, pan forte, olive oils and rice. In addition to creating all the artwork, 93ft handled some of the production with the help of luxury bespoke paper merchants GF Smith. The result a highly popular and regarded range of foods that enable Nonnas to access new markets, attract more customers and diversify their offering on-line and in store.

February 2010
Our theory is that if everything you do looks attractive and appealing then it will generally create interest and importantly in this day and age, followers. Simple 2 sided flyers to promote The Chimney House pre-launch to the general public. We started to use some of the brand elements to help build a flavour of the brand, these include the logo, Meeting Room stamp and written content along with a rather tasty palette of Pantone colours. Cost effective to produce, but highly effective. Would you like a flyer? Yes please!

The Chimney House
Web Design
November 2009
It’s not everyday you have the pleasure to create a website for a building with such a vivid heritage – The Chimney House is no exception with it’s 93ft chimney and period features. We were keen to reflect the building’s iconic status, as well as to show off its new and future use as offices for 93ft and Lark.
The web design influences came from globe trotting inspirations blended with its Sheffield roots – to make something which is appealing to both national and global audiences. The website as it stands is without interior shots – so creative photography from the surrounding area has captured the spirit of The Chimney House without actually going inside.
From a web development perspective, The Chimney House utilises a tailored open-source Content Management System (CMS) with many bespoke features – from hand-coded templates to Twitter integration. The website was launched with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and social networking in mind, this facilitates quick discovery by major search engines (including Google) and allows people to easily spread the word through Facebook and Twitter.
The site is an organic work in progress, it’s flexible and super simple to use back of house. Pre-opening it’s doing it’s job and attracting interest and enquires that are turning into bookings.

93ft
Web Design
November 2009
The 93ft website needed to provide quick and easy access to the wide range of services that the company provides. Navigation was therefore a high priority in the design stage and it was decided that as many options needed to be provided to the user without overwhelming them.
In order to present the variety of production involved in particular projects, the client pages were developed to display all relevant articles linked to that client. For example if a particular client required interior design as well as identity and branding, an article explaining the work involved for each of these two distinct disciplines is displayed beneath the main client description.
