Outdoor Dining In Scotland Boosted By Removal Of Red Tape

outdoor-dining-kong-garden-glasgow

Hospitality  businesses in Scotland will be given the green light to set up outdoor dining areas outside their premises without planning permission from the end of March. 

The proposed changes were backed in a consultation carried out by the Scottish Government and will apply from March 31 ahead of the busy Easter period.  

Speaking with the Scotsman, David Lonsdale, director of the Scottish Retail Consortium, welcomed the news saying: “These new flexibilities on outdoor seating are encouraging and should allow eateries to get on and do what they do best – serving customers. Hopefully, they will give people a little more reason to spend time and money on our high streets. This is especially important at a time when footfall remains below pre-pandemic levels and one in six stores still lies vacant.” 

For further details regarding the changes visit: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2023/35/article/7/made

meldrum-house-win-best-wedding-venue-at-top-tier-awards-image-1

We would like to extend our congratulations to the amazing team at Meldrum House on their recent success in winning the Best Wedding Venue award at the Top Tier Wedding Awards.

The gala dinner where the winners were announced was held at the Union Kirk in Aberdeen on Sunday 26th February, 2023. In a refreshing change from the traditional format of award shows where a panel of judges will normally pick the winners; the Top Tier Wedding Awards are voted for by brides and grooms who choose the top three suppliers they used on their big day. This type of voting system will surely make the win all the more satisfying and speaks volumes about the quality of the venue and the dedication of the staff.

Tucked away in the picturesque Aberdeenshire countryside, the 13th century manor house sits in 240 acres and is a stunning retreat.  Combining centuries of history with the latest in luxury, Meldrum House Country Hotel is a place to relax and enjoy.

We are proud to have been a part of making Meldrum House the premier wedding destination in Scotland. Back in 2021, our talented team created a maple tree from scratch using locally sourced materials to be used as a centrepiece inside the Titan Sky Bar.

Moss Ceilings: A New Way to Bring Nature Indoors

For over 30 years we have championed the benefits of using moss in interior environments and our award-winning designs can be found in several businesses across the UK.

As the popularity of this tactile material continues to grow, we wanted to take the trend one step further and are delighted to announce that we now offer moss ceiling installation.

How long will a moss ceiling last?

What sizes are available?

How much does a moss ceiling cost?

How long will it take to install?

What is a moss ceiling panel?

Moss ceiling panels are an innovative new product that can change the aesthetic of your interior. Moss ceiling panels are made of real moss that is preserved and set into a panel. The panels are then installed on the ceiling, creating a unique and refreshing look.

What are the benefits of moss ceiling panels?

Moss ceiling panels have several benefits, including:

 

Minimal maintenance requirements

The moss is treated to preserve it using a natural mineral process. This means it does not grow or need any looking after.

Fire retardant

Our moss ceilings are fire retardant, making them a safe and stylish addition to any space. (Certificate A2-S1,d0 – classed as a non-combustible material in Scotland)

Sound absorption qualities

Reindeer moss has been proven to reduce noise levels by up to 10dB with an absorption rating of 0.96. This moss is dense and tightly packed making it ideal for improving acoustics in any interior environment.

Made from sustainable materials

The moss used in our ceiling tiles is a sustainable resource that is harvested by hand from the forest floor and is 100% biodegradable.

What colours are available?

Moss ceiling panels come in four beautiful colourways:

 

Forest Green

Lime Green

Medium Green

Mixed Moss: Forest, Medium and Lime Green

How long will a moss ceiling last?

Provided it is not subject to physical damage or a drastic change in conditions, a moss ceiling should last indefinitely and many of our original moss installations continue to delight our clients to the present day.

In the unlikely event that your moss ceiling ever needs a little refurbishment, or if it does get damaged, we can provide a speedy one-off repair service.

What sizes are available?

Currently, only 58.5×58.5cm sizes are available.

Not suitable for your ceiling? We have a wide variety of alternative ways we can seamlessly incorporate moss in your space. 

The design possibilities with Nordik Moss are endless. You can frame it like a picture, transform a whole wall, or even incorporate it into furniture. We can create patterns, words, or logos, on flat, contoured or 3D surfaces, and you can choose from a beautiful spectrum of colours. Whatever your vision, our team can put it on the wall for all to see.

Our teams carefully craft your bespoke moss installations by hand, tuft by tuft, to bring your vision to life. With its flexibility and longevity, Nordik Moss can be used in just about any interior space. It is light weight and easy to install, with no complex wall structures required.

For more information, download our free Nordik Moss Brochure.

How much does a moss ceiling cost?

The cost of installing a moss ceiling in your building will depend on your location and size of your space. Please get in touch for a free quotation from a member of our friendly team.

How long will it take to install?

Most installations are carried out within 4 or 5 weeks from order and the installation itself should only take an hour or two.

From your very first contact with our design consultants, until installation of your moss ceiling and beyond, our friendly team will maintain a consistent line of contact with you so that you know what to expect throughout.  

We provide a complete service package including planning, creation, installation and maintenance. We pride ourselves in working tidily and with minimal disruption to business.

Biophilia, Wellness and the Future of Interior Design with Space for Edit

We recently caught up with the wonderful Sintija who you may know as ‘Space for Edit’. Sintija was working a 9-5 office job as an interior designer before taking a leap of faith to become her own boss. In 2018, she launched her own Youtube channel, SpaceforEdit, and her goal was to take people behind the scenes of what it’s really like to be an interior designer. Since then, she’s racked up almost a quarter of a million views and worked on some amazing projects along the way. 

We wanted to speak with Sintija as we have been enjoying her content for a while and wanted to hear her thoughts on biophilia, wellness and the future of interior design.

Hi Sintija! How are you today? 

I’m really good! I was actually quite impressed by that number, almost a quarter of a million – that’s good right?!  

 

For people who are not familiar with what you do, could you tell us a little about yourself? 

I’ve been an interior designer now for about 7 or 8 years in commercial interiors. I’ve worked as both as an employee and on a self-employed/freelance basis. After doing both on and off, I ultimately stuck with self-employment as I prefer the flexibility it allows.  

Although I’ve been self-employed for a while now, there are still new challenges and things I am learning. It’s been a wild ride so far. 

 

You said you’ve been an interior designer for 7 or 8 years, how much of a focus was there on wellness and biophilic design back when you were studying at university? 

I think it’s only really become widely spoken about more recently, I’d say in the last four or five years. We’ve started introducing a lot more greenery in our projects. Whether it’s real or faux, even just a visual representation of nature can be beneficial. 

I’ve also seen suppliers, both real and faux plant suppliers, really step up their game. Rather than simply being a place to purchase plants from, companies like yours really want to educate designers which is a massive help for us selling the project as a whole to clients.  

Photography by Barbara Idasiak: https://www.barbaraidasiak.co.uk/

You mentioned earlier that it’s mainly commercial customers you deal with, do you have a specific type of commercial customers? 

It’s a bit of everything. Especially now when corporate and hospitality design has become so similar. More and more, offices are looking to add entertainment features, flexible meeting spaces, places to relax and biophilic elements to entice their employees to return.  

 

What do you think is the biggest cause of stress or anxiety in an interior environment?  

The biggest stress I think is essentially sitting in a box. Not having windows, or the windows are in a position where you can’t look to the outer world. We are essentially wild animals; we come from nature and need it around us. Although we’ve changed our lifestyles over the years it doesn’t mean that we’ve lost that need for connection with nature.  

I feel passionate about this as I come from a tiny little village and spent my days and summers outside. Even now, when I go outside I feel recharged. I can breathe, I can think clearly and I’m less stressed. When that element is taken away it inevitably leads to anxiety and higher stress levels.  

When clients maybe don’t understand or realise the importance of nature, it’s our responsibility to educate them on it.  

 

What do you think is fuelling this rise in the awareness of biophilic design? Do you think it has been the pandemic or do you think it’s something that would have happened naturally anyway as we become more urbanised? 

Probably a mix. I think the way that big brands were moving helped to give it an initial push. Especially in office culture, you saw these big Google offices seven or eight years ago doing these great, beautiful things that eventually began to feed down to everyone else on a smaller scale. That’s how trends happen right?  

And like you said, the fact that we have had the opportunity to go back to our home comforts and have a cup of tea in the garden in the middle of the working day. People realised that actually, this helps me, this is what I need. Even if it’s just a walk in the park, we need that connection with nature. So when you go back to the office and there’s nothing there like that, there’s an issue.  

 

Is the growing body of research into biophilic design something you keep up to date with as an interior designer? 

I do like to keep up to date with trends and research generally with things like newsletters, but in terms of biophilic design, probably not in as much detail as you guys will. I’m one of those designers who trust my suppliers. I know you guys are the specialists so when I’m consulting with a client and more specific details are needed, I know I can always turn to my suppliers and ask for their expert advice and possibly even introduce them to the client and get their input as well. 

One of the frustrations I’m sure you’ll share is that it can be sometimes be difficult to quantify to clients the effect that adding natural elements like plants and flowers can have. You’ll often hear that plants improve your focus and concentration etc, but there aren’t really any monetary figures we can use to demonstrate exactly how that works. At the end of last year, we were part of a research project at a large office in London. We had participants working in four or five different environments, ranging from very sparse and bare to a full immersive biophilic experience. Over the course of the study we measured things like their heart rate and productivity, as well as journaling their emotions in a diary. What we’re hoping to do once the results have been compiled is to actually place a monetary value on planting. I think it’ll make it a lot easier for us, and also for yourself as a designer, to have those conversations and be able to clearly display the potential impact that biophilic design can have.  

You’re mirroring the challenges that designers face as well, because you can’t really put a measure on good design. There’s not enough research behind it which makes it difficult when it comes to selling our designs and proposals and encouraging clients to add in those features. From our experience as designers, we know that it’s going to improve the space but from a client’s perspective they see numbers on a budget sheet. They realise that they might not be able to afford that extra feature, biophilic element or more comfortable solution for seating, so it gets pulled from the project and we remain stuck where we are. So yeah, I think this kind of research that you are doing is great and will help a lot of designers to push biophilia even further.  

 

What are the main challenges that you’ve experienced when it comes to incorporating living elements like plants and flowers in your designs?  

I think from a client’s perspective, and what I see in their face when I mention living plants and biophilia, is a worry about the maintenance. That is often a tough question as most likely they’re not going to have a team on site that will take care of them. I always try to propose a maintenance subscription or contract where a team like yours will come in and take care of it all for them.

Do you have a favourite project that you’ve been a part of where biophilic design was a focus rather than an afterthought? 

Recently, as you know, sustainability has been a big focus in our industry, and wellbeing and biophilia go hand in hand with this. It’s such a broad term.  

We are currently working on projects where we’re leading with sustainability in mind and there’s new information coming out daily. This is why I say I go to my suppliers to ask for their latest and greatest ideas because we need to be on top of these things. With those projects where sustainability is the top priority that’s where we look to biophilia and how we can improve the space for everyone using it. It’s really great to see that clients and the public are opening up to these ideas.  

 

Is it something that you’ve tried to incorporate in your own home? And do you have any tips? 

I have plants in every single corner of the room. I’m not quite the crazy plant lady just yet as I don’t have time to look after them but I do have plants everywhere. Even if there’s not an option to have a real plant, I’ll use a faux plant or some kind of foliage. 

I love to keep my blinds open to let the daylight in. We actually bought our house based on the garden because we also have a dog that loves to run about so that was a priority. Again, it goes back to being from the countryside, I’ve always been drawn towards nature. 

Even something simple like having cut flowers can make such a big difference. They are easy to change up and not very difficult to look after. So yes, elements of biophilia within the house are definitely needed.  

 

What does the future hold for Sintija and Space for Edit? 

 I wish I knew. It’s been ups and downs for me. I go through phases where I love what I do and I’m so engaged that nothing else matters. Then I go through phases where I’m sick of this and want something else. I think what I’ve learned over the last few years is that I need a mix of both. So now going into freelancing and self-employment it’s really given me that time and flexibility again where I can work on my YouTube and socials and connect with people that way. So I’m hoping to keep that balance going and reach further afield.   

My friends often say they don’t understand how my channel is not even bigger because of the value that is there, so fingers crossed my moment is coming.

Inspiration All Around at the Fifteenth Scottish Interior Showcase

The Scottish Interiors Showcase returned to Grangemouth’s Macdonald Inchyra Hotel on the 21st and 22nd of February. It’s always one of the most highly anticipated events in our calendar and we’re a little sad it’s already over for another year.

The two-day event attracts around 1,200 visitors from the Design, Hospitality and Retail sectors, as well as over 150 brands showcasing the latest spring collections of fabrics, lighting, furniture, and accessories.

Making the short trip from our head office a few miles away; Adrian Byne, Scott Togher and Kyleigh Fielder attended this year’s showcase and brought along a wide selection of our award-winning plant displays to be positioned throughout the venue.

Our exhibition stand was located in the Design Pavilion alongside a host of amazing brands such as Beaumont Textiles and Little Greene Paint and Paper.

Here we used a digital display to showcase some of our favourite installations and were well stocked with plenty of goodies to make sure no one left empty handed. This included Benholm mugs and The Journal of Biophilic Design, the latter an excellent resource for those looking to learn more about the science and research behind the work we do.

Our stand also featured a Nordik Moss panel which proved irresistible to touch for most passers-by. Visitors were interested in how it was made and were surprised to learn about their noise reduction qualities, minimal maintenance requirements and endless design possibilities.

We’re so grateful to have been a part of the Scottish Interiors Showcase again in 2023. We’ve been thrilled by the feedback received from those who stopped to chat with us and feel full of inspiration having shared the space with such a talented collection of exhibitors.

We want to thank everyone who visited our stand over the two days, and of course, Scottish Interiors Showcase for putting on another magnificent event – we can’t wait to see you again in 2024!

At Benholm, we help to enhance the reputation of the interior designers and architects we work with by achieving the best possible result for their clients.

 

We’re always up to date with the latest trends in plant and floral design and have the accreditations you would expect of an exceptional supplier – ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO25001.

MLA Shortlisted for Commercial Development of the Year at Scottish Property Awards

We were delighted to learn that Michael Laird Architects have been shortlisted for the 2023 Scottish Property Awards in the Commercial Development of the Year category for their work on one of our recent Corporate projects at Kildean Business Park.

The £22.4 million bespoke office building was developed for M&G in Stirling. Providing 77,380 sq ft of office space across three floors, the building has been described as setting the standard for sustainable office development in Stirling and Scotland’s central belt.

Working alongside MLA, we added refreshing touches of greenery throughout the office ahead of its opening last year.

In recent years there has been a growing body of evidence that suggests that office plants can have a number of benefits for workers. These benefits include improved air quality, increased productivity, and reductions in stress levels. However, despite the clear evidence of the benefits of office plants, many workplaces still do not have them. This is often due to a lack of understanding of the benefits of plants or a belief that plants are a ‘luxury’ item.

Reflecting on the project, Stephen Brewer, project director of Michael Laird Architects, said, “This development has created a new landmark for Stirling. Sustainability has been a core focus during the design and development of this project, to meet occupier requirements for low emissions and a reduction in environmental footprint through careful material specification and high-quality construction of the external envelope to meet and exceed minimum standards for insulation and airtightness.

“Strong rustic brick and metallic bronze-coloured windows combine to create a contemporary Scottish aesthetic in this magnificent setting. Completing this project is a significant milestone and we are very proud of the sustainability credentials it has achieved.”

Also attending the ceremony will be our friends from ICA who have been shortlisted for Architectural Excellence, Regeneration Project of the year and ESG Refurbishment of the Year for their work on the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh. You can read more about our contribution to this fantastic project here.

It was our pleasure to be involved in these wonderful projects and we will have our fingers crossed for both MLA and ICA in their respective categories on the night.  

We love working with commercial interior designers and architects to help bring their creative vision to life with plants and flowers for any space. We’re always up to date with the latest trends in plant and floral designs, and are bursting with ideas to include living and artificial plants in your design schemes that will delight and inspire your clients.

3 Easy Ways to Freshen Up Your Office Balcony or Terrace

We recently had the opportunity to attend The British Council for Offices Winter Gathering where some of the UK’s most influential designers and architects met to discuss the future of the office. The consensus was clear: the role of the office has changed and there’s no going back.

The role of the office has changed

The traditional office model has remained largely the same for decades, but it is becoming increasingly apparent it is no longer sufficient for today’s workforce. These days, employees can be productive from anywhere and many choose to work remotely meaning businesses will have to adapt office to stay competitive in today’s economy.

This shift in thinking has led companies to reconsider what it means to create an office. Rather than just being a place where people go to work and leave at the end of the day, corporate spaces need to be a place where employees can be inspired and energized by their surroundings—a place where they can connect with friends and colleagues while taking advantage of natural light, fresh air, and greenery.

According to research from office rental platform Hubble, this has lead to a 238% increase in businesses looking for roof terraces in order to facilitate this need.

Hubble CEO Tushar Agarwal said: “In recent years, the everyday office has been completely reimagined as design becomes more important than ever and the facilities available increasingly impressive. Businesses are now very competitive when it comes to showing they can offer the best. The enormous leap in the searches for roof terraces is part of this – and who wouldn’t jump at the chance to work outside when it’s sunny?

Beyond the typically impressive views, a rooftop terrace can serve a variety of functions which are beneficial to both the employer and employee. 

Benefits of a rooftop terrace or balcony

Having the ability to escape from the confines of the office to enjoy some fresh air is a great way to soak up some Vitamin D whilst remaining productive. This essential nutrient is a powerful immune enhancer and protects us from colds and other infections which can cause periods of absence from work. Vitamin D is also a well-known mood booster and helps regulate your circadian rhythm. This is key to maintaining a healthy sleep cycle, and therefore, getting more done throughout the day.

Making the most of your terrace or balcony

If you’re lucky enough to have a terrace or balcony at your office, or are working on a project involving one, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when you start thinking about the possibilities for the space. Some companies opt for additional features such as a barbeque or even a hot tub, however, you can still have a balcony that’s simple, elegant, and functional with these three minimum requirements:

  • Quality furniture

Whether this means chairs, benches, or stools; having somewhere comfortable and accessible is key when using your balcony as a productive outdoor space. We offer a comprehensive range of outdoor furniture that is both stylishly designed and made to last.

  • Lush Greenery

Balconies have different levels of exposure. Some are exposed to the elements while others are more sheltered by walls or trees – so we always recommend consulting an expert before investing in greenery for your outdoor areas. We can help you choose lush greenery which will thrive in your space as well as an extensive range of planters to complement the wider design.

  • Cleanliness

A clean rooftop terrace can be an inviting place to relax, play, and host guests, whereas a dirty, rundown and unkempt terrace will have the opposite effect. We’re experts in keeping your outdoor areas and greenspaces looking naturally beautiful all year long, throughout each transition of the seasons.

In the above example of a recent installation completed in Edinburgh, you can see the difference these three easy steps can make in just a few short hours. What was once an unused space is now ready to be an invaluable asset for the companies and employees using this building.

“We have been using Benholm as our office plants provider and also for our grounds and garden maintenance and have always received first class service as well as good advice and support when we need it. Good professional company that can safely be recommended.”

From the perfect furniture to that finishing flourish of greenery, our team are here to help you design the ultimate terrace or balcony for your office. To learn more, check out our gallery or contact us to discuss the possibilities of your outdoor space today.
