The design team approached this project with the desire to stand out, tie into the roots of the environment, and create a balance of inclusivity, harmony, and production amongst staff. Each design decision relates back to the nature-inspired theme, while also focusing on sustainable practices and environmental performance, making this project LEED Silver certified.
Design Philosophy
Crafting an organic ambiance that embraces the calmness of Florida’s nature while promoting the vibrant energy of wildlife and sunshine is demonstrated throughout the design by the extensively selected biophilic materials. Eye catching contemporary light fixtures awaken the space by juxtaposing against the earthy backdrop.Rather than treating lighting as a layer applied at the end, we used it as the architectural backbone of the project. Every zone within the office was designed around how light could define its purpose. Focused work areas are grounded by warm, steady illumination that supports clarity and calm, while collaborative spaces use more dynamic, multi-layered light that encourages energy and conversation. This approach allowed the space to function seamlessly as a workplace during the day, while easily transforming into a curated gallery whenever clients visit.
Designed for Collaboration
Visitors and staff feel welcomed immediately by the sumptuous and lively aesthetic. A thoughtful mix of materials, color, and lighting helps to navigate the end user easily throughout the floors and demonstrates a zoning guide. A combination of open and floating ceilings define the quiet and intimate spaces, while also encouraging conversation and collaboration in other areas.
