Kennedy Wilson, landlord of the multi-storey building, appointed Morris & Spottiswood to deliver the high-end refurbishment of a full floor within Seafield House as well as CAT B fit-out works for incoming tenant Apache, a company renowned for its North Sea operations.

With other floors in the building fully occupied, the project requires careful coordination and delivery within a highly constrained programme. Commencing earlier this year, the works are due to complete in July.

The high-specification fit-out incorporates contemporary office finishes befitting a blue-chip occupier. Morris & Spottiswood will deliver the flooring and specialist joinery packages, while the group’s M&E Specialist business, Livingston Building Services, will undertake all mechanical and electrical works.

In addition to the contract works, the incoming tenant has awarded works valued at approximately £700,000 to Inspire Spaces for furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) provision. A Morris & Spottiswood Group business, the appointment of Inspire Spaces further demonstrates the group’s ability to provide end-to-end workplace solutions which will enable the tenant to take occupation several weeks earlier than would be possible had an alternative FF&E contractor been appointed.

Paul Beaton, development director at Morris & Spottiswood, said: “This is a fast-paced project within a prominent Aberdeen office building, being delivered to a demanding programme. Working in partnership with Kennedy Wilson, we are bringing together our specialist expertise from across the group to complete high-quality workspaces within a live, multi-occupied environment.”

Richard Woods, director at Halliday Fraser Munro Chartered Architects and Planning Consultants, commented: “We’re delighted to be working with Apache again as they establish their new office at H1. The project takes a refurbished building and reshapes it into a flexible, efficient workspace that better supports collaboration and day-to-day working. We look forward to partnering with Morris & Spottiswood to deliver the fit-out over the coming months.”
