The Barcode Warehouse is a leading specialist provider of barcode technology. Barcode acquired a new building a stone's throw away from their existing office space in Newark, with a dream to create an Innovation/Customer Experience Centre.

Ralph + Smith as the designer, in partnership with Rhino Interiors as the contractor, developed the space concept and detailed design of the 15,000 sq ft space.

The brief was to develop a welcoming space with the ‘wow-factor’, also to nurture collaborative working and inspire a sense of belonging - embracing employees, vendors and partners alike. Barcode showcases current and future technology solutions to give new and existing clients an insight into how they can support their operations.

The end result was an innovative, flexible and immersive space for staff and customers, accommodating an open coffee shop/meet and greet area; open plan collaborative working space for the sales and marketing teams; an executive directors suite with boardroom; training room facilities; flexible exhibition space; auditorium; flexible space for supply chain/mock-up experience and incubation type space for start-up businesses or SMEs.
