Full interior fit-out of the Chairman’s Lounge at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, bespoke joinery, contract furniture and complete installation.
Leicester Tigers needed a hospitality lounge that could hold its own against the best in professional rugby. A space that felt premium, worked operationally during match days, and could be installed within a tight programme window without disrupting the stadium’s ongoing activity.
They needed a partner who understood both the craft and the logistics. Someone who could take a brief and own it completely.
Working from the architect’s drawings, our technical team produced detailed manufacturing drawings that translated the design intent into buildable components. Every piece of joinery was manufactured in our Honley facility before being transported and installed on site.
The programme was tight. Match day commitments meant access windows were limited and the installation had to be sequenced carefully around the stadium’s operational calendar. We didn’t miss a single deadline.
We needed someone who could just own it. No back and forth, no chasing updates. Deanhouse sorted it.
Every project starts somewhere. Here’s what the Chairman’s Lounge looked like before we touched it, what the process looked like mid-installation, and how it finished.
When we first walked the space at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, it was a stripped shell. The brief was clear but the challenge was significant, a demanding programme, a tight access window, and a standard that had to match the Tigers’ identity.
The details that don’t show up in the wide-angle shots, the joinery tolerances, the material choices, the things that make the difference between a fit-out that looks good and one that lasts.
