About the project
The project aimed to provide a home for a printing company focused on delivering quality to discerning customers. Reflecting the company's culture of transparency, the design brings together different branches of the company's operations – the printing center, customer service area, and back office – with only indicative zoning.
The space is intentionally open and transparent, with only a few areas separated by glass partitions. This approach offers several advantages: it creates a visible 'show kitchen' where customers can observe manufacturing processes, allows the back office to hear the buzz of the customer service team, and enables clients to witness their orders being fulfilled.
The premises were stripped down to their raw core, revealing hardwood floors, historic brick walls, and loft ceilings.
Our approach
Business spaces are inherently focused on functionality. While this may sound simple, functionality has as many definitions as there are businesses, as what may be effective for a sales office might not align well with the needs of a technology company.
The cornerstone of tackling such projects lies in thoroughly understanding the operational intricacies and requirements of the envisioned space. We strive to gather insights into the project-specific pain points and challenges, and then assemble a team that has the expertise to resolve them through smart design and engineering solutions.
Given how investment in office space can impact cash flow and overall business growth strategy, we also aim to balance the upfront costs with the potential long-term benefits by paying particular attention to scheduling and budgeting, as well as future operating expenses such as utilities and maintenance. In doing so, we ensure that the final result not only meets immediate needs but also contributes to the long-term success of the business.
