Project Summary

When an existing tenant vacated one of his industrial buildings, Managing Director Chris Betts saw the opportunity he’d been waiting for. Having explored self storage several years earlier, he recognised the empty unit as the ideal location to diversify his property portfolio and bring his vision for a premium, community-focused facility to life. The building’s restricted internal height presented a significant challenge from the outset, with several suppliers hesitant about whether a commercially viable layout could be achieved without compromising quality.

Kuboid worked closely with Chris to engineer a bespoke solution that unlocked the full potential of the building while remaining fully compliant with building regulations. By carefully balancing floor levels, partition heights and circulation space, the design team created a three-level storage system that maximised capacity without compromising the customer experience. Increased partition heights and a well-planned lighting scheme ensured the facility retained an open, modern feel despite the height constraints, with decisions made quickly throughout thanks to a close working relationship between the design team and the client.

The result is a modern, premium self storage facility that stands out from the local market, maximising storage capacity within a challenging footprint while delivering the high-quality finish Chris envisioned from the start. Beyond the facility itself, MoorSpace Storage Company has embedded itself within the local community through partnerships with Huddersfield Town Foundation and local grassroots sports clubs and charities, reinforcing its commitment to delivering more than just storage space. With a premium facility, strong local reputation and customer-first approach now in place, MoorSpace is well positioned for long-term success.

“I’m really proud that we went with Kuboid. What stood out to me for going with Kuboid was their attention to detail and their build quality. From the moment we initially designed and thought about this site, it was all about quality,””
