We talked to our designer, Alexandra Puscheck, about a recent project in Buffalo Grove, where we completed a total overhaul of the workstations and office seating of an engineering consulting firm. She gave us insight into the branding inspired choices and aesthetic touches that helped open up this engineering consulting firm’s dark and closed off office.
What were the goals of the project?
The goal of the project was to expand the open office area and add more workstations while giving the space an update.
How did this new office improve upon what they had previously?
The new design added brand identity to the space. Their previous workstations were brown and muted. We incorporated their two main branding colors – blue and orange into the design. Now, immediately walking upon the space, their design is custom to their brand. We also lowered the panel height from what they had previously and added frameless glass to the top. This allowed more light into all workstations in the space, as opposed to the just the workstations along the windows which had previously been the case.
