MISSION

C+S+S was hired to assist Zapproved with transforming a subleased and partially furnished office into a functional, accessible, and equitable workplace for Zapproved employees to enjoy and work from.

CHALLENGE

Similar to the last project we did with Zapproved, there were several challenges to overcome: 1) Maintain a strict furniture budget; 2) Develop space-planning, furnishings and acoustics solutions to provide employees with flexibility, mobility and choice to accommodate their needs at work, both today and into the future; 3) Outfit a 2-floor subleased space by reusing inherited items at new location and existing items from old location, and by purchasing minimal new furnishings as was necessary to complete the desired look and meet functionality requirements.

RESULTS

This was a really fun project to collaborate on! Together we were able to blend in new and reused furnishings in creative ways that merged a wide range of colors within the space. Once completed, both floors of the newly outfitted work environment look and feel like a cohesive Zapproved-branded space.

Allyson is awesome to work with! We collaborated on an office remodel a couple of years ago and I knew she would be a great fit for working on the space in our new headquarters. One of the best things about Allyson, is her ability to work with her clients on their vision. It was important to me that she and I are able to think creatively together. She and her team are great at communicating and really listen when it comes to following a tight budget. Thank you ctrl+shift+space for all of your help in making the new Zapproved Slabtown office a space folks want to work in.
