Just working on a office refurb scheme and the trunking is posing a bit of a problem. Basically we do not have the option of a raised access floor in which to locate floor boxes for power etc. We do have a suspended ceiling void.
The M+E engineer suggests putting trunking about desk height around the walls, but this solution is ugly and ties the office furniture layout to the walls which is not great.
Will Bruder did an awesome office interior in which all the electrical supply was run in silver conduit arranges in one big swooping curve hung from the ceiling of the space. Individual desks were fed from drop cables. This was pre-internet, so it was different cables, but I don't see why this solution couldn't still work.
Granted, this was in an exposed joist ceiling, industrial chic space. not sure if that's at all what you're after, but I agree that trying to hide it on the walls is not attractive.

Hello,
Just working on a office refurb scheme and the trunking is posing a bit of a problem. Basically we do not have the option of a raised access floor in which to locate floor boxes for power etc. We do have a suspended ceiling void.

Any other options?
Thanks
Derek
