MISSION

To take an 'empty shell' of a newly constructed building and design, build, furnish and open the first North American Headquarters for this European-based laser photonics company.

CHALLENGE

ctrl+shift+space was tasked with the following during this project: 1) To design a floorplan, specify fixtures, equipment, materials, and finishes, plus oversee a turn-key build-out by the building management; 2) To make the most of a minimal tenant-supplied budget and procure furnishings plus other ancillary accessories that suited the client's unique business needs; 3) To move and consolidate three geographically separate offices into a single suite; 4) To manage the tear-down and re-installation of a complex clean-room.  

RESULTS

A blank-slate suite was transformed into a beautiful and functioning office, complete with a clean-room, conference room, private office, plus break and open office areas that not only met the building's sustainability requirements, but also fulfilled the needs of the persons who were to inhabit the work space.
