Poplar Library Boardroom

Project Details

Location: London

Client: Container Futures Boardroom and Cafe Leaside Regeneration

Contract Value: £50,000

Project Description

Neu were invited to create a Cafe and Boardroom for the Leaside Business centre. Both are situated in the Container Futures building, a low cost temporary building that provides seed bed office space for new businesses. 

The boardroom provides flexible meeting space for Leaside and the business units. The design uses the steel shell of the containers to create a magnetic display wall on one side. Meanwhile on the window side the timber floor turns up the wall to provide a false wall concealing window black out blinds and data communication equipment. There are fold out shelves for digital projectors to project onto moveable magnetic screens. The central columns also provide detachable shelves for cinema type projections on the end wall. 

The Tables were specifically designed for the space to enable either large or small meetings to take place. The space is frequently used for exhibitions relating to the work of Leaside Regeneration.
