Description: A primary goal of the interior design of this project was to maintain a high level of professional elegance throughout the space. Pear wood, granite and decorative walk-off mats distinguish the lobby. Maple trim and porcelain floor tiles define the lower level.

The interior spaces convey sophistication without pretentiousness. The modern color palette of warm and cool neutral grays and golds will remain timeless and relevant for years to come. The classic interior design palette also provides an excellent backdrop for the Owners artwork collection.

Sustainability was a factor in the design of the building. The furniture throughout is recycled steel furniture, the carpet by Shaw is CRI Green Label Plus certified for indoor air quality and a majority is carpet tile format, which limited waste during installation and allows for worn or stained areas to be replaced without having to install an entire room of carpeting. The Wellness Center contains rubberized flooring composed of recycled tires, and the Blue Plate Café – which by the way, this café looks more like a charming public restaurant than a corporate lunchroom, contains Marmoleum, a rapidly renewable linoleum based product. In addition, all of the project’s acoustical ceiling tile contained a high amount of recycled material and low VOC adhesives for the installation of interior finishes were used wherever possible. To alleviate some of the material cost, all carpet used on the project was custom designed with a more economical yarn in order to keep the pattern designs the client loved while saving over $20 a square yard in cost.

Spectrum Design Services was the Interior Design Consultant for this project. In this role we assisted in the selection of all interior finish materials including conceptual finish design of the executive dining room, Board of Directors conference facilities, key leadership conference rooms, common areas, and other executive suite spaces.
