The project is a single level 4700 Sq Ft. interior refurbishment for Naturub Head Office. Naturub is a Sri Lankan apparel accessories manufacturer passionate about the products and the people they develop. It’s head office at the factory complex in Mahawila, Panadura; needed refurbishment. Naturub’s existing office was a space resultant from time to time extension and addition of departments and personnel to the floor in alignment with the company’s growth and they recognized the need to organize the office to a functional arrangement for its effective and efficient operation. The project was designed, developed and fabricated in the import restricted, hyper inflating economic conditions of Sri Lanka. The project execution needed pre-planning, thus the procurement was progress well ahead of site work to enable a minimum period of discomfort in office operations relocation. Keeping in mind the limited access to resources of Interior finishing material options due to the curtail of imports; we wanted to use the opportunity of the challenging economy to be resourcefully adaptive and to apply locally produced and fabricated alternatives where possible. Sourcing treated rubber planks for both furniture and partitioning appeared feasible and we designed and locally manufactured all work stations and fitted furniture for the project.
