Following the establishment of hybrid design standards at Propeller’s headquarters, DESIGN+BUILD successfully applied these principles to their Denver office. Nestled in a historic Coloradoan building, the space harmoniously blends industrial style with modern touches to create the perfect play of contrasts.
DESIGN+BUILD transformed the heart of Propeller Denver’s workspace, transitioning it from traditional open workstations to a versatile area that supports hybrid work. The redesigned space is tailored for community gathering, featuring a lounge, work pods, and multifunctional ancillary spaces.
Innovative stair seating encourages interactions between floors, providing the perfect place for brainstorming sessions and impromptu meetings. Glass-walled conference and meeting rooms work to open up the space, enhancing transparent collaboration and keeping team members connected.
With the completion of Propeller’s Denver office, we celebrate the successful application of design standards that elevate both workspace functionality and aesthetic appeal. We are honored to have partnered with their team to facilitate the transition to hybrid work environments across their key locations in Portland, Denver, and San Francisco.
The new hybrid space stands as a testament to Pella’s passion for innovation, echoing their foundational principles of excellence, community focus, and environmental stewardship.
The display area showcases Pella’s leading-edge products with pull-out display stands for their windows, patio, and entry doors, ensuring convenient viewing either from the conference room or up close. The space is rich in employee amenities, featuring a coffee bar, professional training room, and wellness spaces for rejuvenation and care. Aiming to create an exceptional team member experience, Pella is committed to promoting work-life balance by dedicating flexible spaces for productivity and personal connection.
Featured in this project are open collaborative work and training spaces, wellness areas dedicated to employee care, and a 3500 square foot ISO 6 semiconductor cleanroom (Class 1000).
Recognizing the importance of providing focus areas for employees transitioning from remote work, private office spaces were incorporated to enhance team productivity. The cool, clean aesthetic paired with ergonomic seating strikes a balance between form and function. Acoustic materials were used on the walls to improve sound quality, reduce reverberation, and increase privacy, creating a more productive working environment for clients and employees alike.
Designed with functionality in mind, the new space introduces a variety of work zones to accommodate the diverse schedules and needs of every team member.
The DESIGN+BUILD team supported Bridgewell's search in finding the most optimal, commute-worthy space for team collaboration, training, and in-person mentoring opportunities.

The pathway opens up into a dense yet open work area, creating a seamless transition between remote and in-person work. Natural light breathes through every angle, uplifting long-tenured team spirit and jumpstarting productivity. The space introduces a variety of productivity zones, purposefully designed to accommodate the diverse schedules and needs of a dynamic, agile workforce.
The Cascadia Motion project involved the redesigning of their workspace to cater to the needs of a growing team and niche clientele, while also providing a fresh and modern appearance. Our team worked closely with Cascadia Motion and their parent company, BorgWarner, to gain a comprehensive understanding of their unique program requirements.
The final design incorporates an open floor plan that provides ample space for team members to work together, along with private areas for more focused tasks. The integration of modern furnishings and finishes, combined with vibrant accents and greenery, creates an inviting and inspiring atmosphere.
The result is a workspace that effectively reflects the personality and values of Cascadia Motion, while also providing a functional and stunning environment for their team and clients. The project has been executed with careful attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the design aligns with the client's vision and expectations.

USNR, a global supplier of equipment and services to the wood processing industry, sought to modernize their main office building located on their Woodland, WA campus. The renovation project aimed to achieve a new entry vestibule that would welcome visitors, an open and collaborative workstation plan that would align with the nature of their work, and updated finishes that would coincide with their brand and other locations. The DESIGN+BUILD team, involved in design architecture, structural engineering, exterior and interior remodel, and managing a multi-phase, occupied remodel, transformed the space from nearly ground-up to completely remodeled.
The newly constructed entry boasts floor-to-ceiling storefront windows and a dark canopy with the USNR logo, inviting visitors to enter. The reception area and walls, clad with locally sourced white fir, lead to an open and collaborative workspace featuring "bullpen" style workstations with a striking stripe of USNR red. Custom work tables with shelving were designed for colleagues to pore over plan sets and materials together. The adjacent break room, with various seating options and a white fir bar top, overlooks a new outdoor patio.
The finish palette features neutrals with consistent pops of USNR red, and dark charcoal flooring that follows you throughout the space in contrast to the crisp white walls. The open ceiling reveals a vaulted roofline and glu-lam headers existing above. The result is a transformed office space that reflects USNR's commitment to modernization, functionality, and aesthetic excellence.
Equilibrium needed more space for working and socializing, with lots of flexibility for different types of events. DESIGN+BUILD designers took cues from the existing timber structure of Equilibrium’s new space and built a material palette around the douglas fir glulam. The operable partition between the kitchen and board room allowed for regular social events and for remote employees to come work in the office for an extended period several times per year. The nature of the open office workstations provided additional flexibility for future company growth, and the sustainable materials selected reflected the values of the company.
GSI Water Solutions' new workspace is a stunning example of modern office design.

The new space features an open floor plan that encourages collaboration and communication between team members. The central area for breaks and socializing is a focal point of the design, providing a comfortable and inviting space for employees to relax and recharge. The use of natural materials and soft lighting throughout the space creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is conducive to productivity and creativity.
In addition to the central social area, the workspace includes private offices, meeting rooms, and a state-of-the-art conference room. The conference room is equipped with the latest audio-visual technology and can accommodate large groups, making it the perfect space for company-wide meetings and presentations.

Located in Lake Oswego, their refreshed space is bright and welcoming to employees and clients, providing a variety of meeting and gathering spaces for both focus work and collaboration. A central, versatile lounge and coffee bar serve as a landing space for both internal and client meetings, and a fully upgraded café kitchen serves as both a break space and touch-down space, allowing employees to get away from their desks and work in an alternate setting. The necessity for privacy and acoustic separation was also a key factor in the design, accommodated with the provision of additional acoustic materials in open spaces as well as the construction of private focus booths.
DESIGN+BUILD worked with Delap to develop "resi-mercial" spaces that combined confidentiality with warm familiarity, resulting in well-furnished video call rooms for clients near or far and conference rooms of various sizes to support all meeting types. And for the employees: a sun-soaked kitchen and break room space flexible enough to serve as a work lounge by day and an All Hands/party space for their team to be welcomed back to work.
Delap's full office renovation was centered around the people who inhabit it. Their primary focus was to create an environment that fostered authentic connections with clients in a world that relies heavily on remote meetings. In addition, they wanted to provide a beautiful workspace for their employees who were eager to return to in-person work. The DESIGN+BUILD team partnered with Delap's leadership to bring their vision to life and deliver a space that would meet both their functional and aesthetic needs.
