The Challenge

Detroit-based GreenLancer, a startup engineering consultancy for the solar energy industry, was growing quickly and needed to move into a larger space. The layout did not reflect their company culture, with a hodgepodge of different furniture types and exposed dangling wires. Due to the growth of the business, the single conference room was over-utilized and insufficient for how they function.

 

NEEDS

  • Highlight and reflect the company’s “green” culture
  • Enhance the natural daylight within the space
  • Open environment to encourage collaboration between departments
  • Address wire management and organization within the furniture layout
  • Include a variety of areas for conferencing and group collaboration

DESIGN SOLUTIONS

  • Reflect nature through the selection of colors and materials that mirror elements found outdoors
  • Incorporate industry symbols through graphics and markerboard paint to tie into their culture and line of work
  • Install glass walls to allow natural light to filter deep within the space, but still provide privacy for employees
  • Develop a benching typical to keep the space visually open
  • Control wires with central troughs that provide ease of access to power and data connections
  • Include a variety of conference and collaboration rooms from casual soft seating arrangements to more focused settings
