“A studio or workroom which is made accessible to allcomers, where artistic or creative work can be viewed and created collaboratively. An Open Studio is intended to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of cultural exchange, conversation, encouragement, and freedom of expression.” (Wikipedia)

 

We designed our office as a manifestation of our belief that open communication, dialog with our collaborators and an opportunity to quickly assess ideas generates the highest quality of work and increases the skill and knowledge of our entire staff.  Our office layout and furniture ensure this process is available all day every day.  Whether it is expressed as a quick open question sent up like a balloon to entire room, an impromptu desk critique or a fast pencils down office review of a design or construction issue, we can hone and improve our solutions aligning the work to our client goals and our professional pursuit of excellence.

 

Our 1,750 sf office is split into two long rectangles.  The primary space is a 875sf workroom, at 47’ long it houses our desk, two round work tables and a coffee bar / kitchenette.  Our 38’ long desk comfortably holds 12 workstations with great northern light for its length.  The rest of our space is comprised of a large conference room, privacy phone conference room, copy area, materials library and restrooms.
