Reminiscing on one of our favorite past projects where we headed up the interior design and drawings for a Bricktops office space. Concept statement written by one of our experienced and innovative interior designers, Lea Materrazi.

“This adaptive reuse space of a historical production mill creates the perfect space for the corporate headquarters of a national restaurant group. The warm and inviting elements of the building structure highlight the local roots while promoting the collaboration and creativity of the team members. Echoes of the building’s rich history combine with nods to the design aesthetic of the restaurants set the stage for a luxurious yet comfortable work environment.

The building shell of exposed brick walls, ceiling, ductwork and columns drove the design aesthetics. Keeping the exposed finishes where possible while complimenting with a warm white wall paint, custom millwork and bold deep brown tone broadloom carpet brings the space to life again. Workspaces with materials that blend into the industrial feel in tandem with modern black pendant fixtures ground the space and activities. Acoustical baffles add interest while aiding the sound absorption and reverberation against the hard surrounding surfaces and exposed ceiling and plaster walls and columns.

The conference space was a focal point and has custom wooden dropped grid and a cluster of pendant lights that accentuate the space. The revived modern style of the conference table carries the historical nod to the past while upgrading to the future.

Art brings the finishing touches to create the comfortable and personal additions to the space.  Two gallery walls of prints from the client’s personal collection add a whimsical touch to complete the space.”
