Commercial
Commercial developments present a unique set of pressures: launch dates, staff training and planned revenue streams are not flexible and deadlines are strict. Planning, preparation and communication are the key elements to making your business a reality. Whether working directly with clients or with innovative architects and designers, collaboration is vital to get you up and running.
Without doubt the biggest open space project Andrew Penny had undertaken, transforming this 13,000 sq ft warehouse was an upgrade for ‘The Yard’ and the birthplace of ‘Crank’. Despite an 11th hour design overhaul, the project was quickly in full flow and home for South London’s most innovative SPIN and HIIT studios. Zade and Gareth spared no expense with the lighting and audio environment to push Crank above any of its peers.

An award winning restaurant and one of the hottest spots in town, The redevelopment of Forza Win was one of our most challenging projects. With 72 hours’ notice the team was on site and 38 tons of concrete were on the way. In collaboration with Kennedy Woods Architecture and the restaurant owners Bash and Michael, the warehouse sprang to life and is testament to the hard work and dedication to all those involved, completed to the tightest of deadlines.
“Andrew Penny and his team quite literally saved our restaurant, without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

Yogarise
Yogarise in Streatham is the second studio space to carry the name after the successful opening of the first studio in the Bussey Building, Peckham. We transformed a blank canvas into two yoga studios, a fitness and HIIT studio, cafe and changing rooms. The full heat recovery and extraction systems, with 2,000 litres of stored water (feeding eight showers) were paramount in fulfilling the needs of the 300+ people walking through the door each day. The studio space was designed by owners Sean and Emma and is a high end addition to the continuing redevelopment and regeneration of Streatham High Road.
“I’ve been very pleased with the level/quality of their work, attention to detail, and ‘can do’ attitude. The team worked long hours including weekends to get it done on time & on budget. Even after opening they’ve been sending men daily to get the snagging finished which I’ve appreciated.
I’ll definitely be using them again.”
