Concept: Maximize Efficiency and Economy

IIDA Small Design Firm Winner – Read More

When you are a small company, every penny counts. That’s why when we were ready to renew our lease in this ever rising market, we quickly realized the need to make the footprint of the current suite work. The original suite was designed back in 2014 when we only had 4 employees. Now, 5 years later, we have 12 employees and no conference room for an ever growing client list. It was time to innovate and renovate to maximize every square inch of the office. The results. . . many clients thought we had expanded our suite and were surprised to see all that could be fit into just 1,752 rsf.

The renovation included creating a conference room, (3) informal collaboration spaces, a shared office, a finish library expansion, increasing storage, a renovation to the break area including a custom island, a phone booth, and addressing acoustics in an open office plan while focusing on sustainability and reusing as much as possible.
