SOFT PLAY CAFÉ – DORCHESTER
Soft Play café – Dorchester
KOT Building Contractors recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment and fit-out project for A Soft Play Café, transforming an existing commercial space into a vibrant and engaging environment. This turnkey project involved stripping the space back to a bare shell and undertaking a complete build-out, including specialised installations and custom designs to create a safe, fun, and functional space for children and families.
Project Summary
The project encompassed key elements included the installation of new Fermacell and MF partition work, acoustic ceilings, and oak laminate internal fire doors. We also constructed a disabled access ramp for enhanced accessibility.
Our team designed and built a bespoke café counter featuring integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, display fridge, and coffee machine, ensuring functionality and aesthetics. The soft play area was specially designed with a soft play frame and slide, providing a safe and enjoyable space for children. Additionally, we installed custom oak effect bench seating with wipeable cushions and concealed storage, along with non-slip safety vinyl flooring throughout the venue.
The project also involved a complete decoration package, with the application of durable, wipeable paint finishes on walls and satin wood finishes on woodwork. Finally, we designed and installed custom shopfront graphics and signage to enhance the café’s street presence.
From an MEP perspective, we designed and installed a mechanical ventilation system to ensure adequate fresh air flow throughout the space;
A full power and lighting configuration to ensure the space is well lit, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing; A fully fitted out toilet area complete with a part M compliant disabled toilet and a hot and cold water system; And last but not least a fully comprehensive fire detection system complete with emergency lighting and call points.
