This is design

Design is fundamental to the ethos of our company, serving as the cornerstone of creativity and functionality in every project we undertake.

Site Analysis

Kre-ate provides support for both new and older Spacer installations. As demands for energy efficiency, productivity, and addressing operational shortcomings grow, maximising current resources becomes increasingly challenging. We offer site reviews to provide insights into innovative methods and guidance on essential equipment replacements or rearranging current equipment for better effectiveness. Our comprehensive surveys and assessments support improvements, regardless of budget.

Sustainable Design

Through well considered design and specification Kre-ate can help deliver energy savings and support our industry’s commitment to the environment.

The key focus on sustainability not only benefits the environment but also enhances the overall customer experience and aligns with the growing consumer demand for responsible practices.

Several key factors are considered when working alongside CIBSE TM50, TM65, BREEAM and other accreditations:

  • Material Selection: The choice of materials significantly impacts embodied carbon. Alternative materials, such as recycled metals or sustainably sourced wood, can reduce this impact.

  • Equipment Efficiency: Investing in energy-efficient equipment can lower operational carbon emissions, reduce water usage and waste production alongside bringing direct energy usage savings.

  • Design Considerations: Efficient layouts minimise waste during construction and improves workflow, reducing surplus materials or equipment. Considering natural light, ventilation, and the welfare of the operators increases productivity and wellbeing.

  • Sourcing and Transport: Sourcing locally reduces transportation emissions and supports regional economies.

  • End-of-Life Management: Planning for the end-of-life of kitchen materials and equipment is essential for reducing embodied carbon. Options for recycling, repurposing, or responsibly disposing of items can mitigate long-term environmental impacts.


Manufacturing & Technical Co-ordination

Successful projects depend on a cohesive relationship between custom fabrication, mechanical and electrical systems, joinery, and the overall interior design of a space. It is crucial to establish a smooth integration between functional components and visual attractiveness. By carefully evaluating the materials, intricacies, and processes involved in both manufacturing and adjacent interiors, we can improve functionality while preserving aesthetic unity.
