DESIGN+BUILD implemented workspace design standards for SSOE Group’s national offices. The open, airy floor plan promotes natural flow and impromptu conversation, with circulation paths designed to increase connection across teams.

Branded elements play a role throughout the space—a bold red acrylic logo, vision panels, and circular feature lighting help define key areas. A balanced mix of open work areas, private offices, and conference rooms supports a range of work styles. A dedicated mother’s room, located in a quiet, low-traffic area, offers a calming environment for nursing.

Your team at DESIGN+BUILD has managed the preconstruction effort while working with our architect flawlessly. Communications have been great and cooperative, and so far we are on budget in terms of time and dollars. This coordination also helped us eliminate any additional owner’s rep fees. Finally, your team is simply a pleasure to work with.”

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.

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 newly designed space features wide corridors perfect for walking phone calls, paired with hybrid-ready meeting rooms for private conversation. 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.

"DESIGN+BUILD was a true pleasure to work with during every step of the process. Aside from their great personalities and professionalism, their key strength is being able to do design, costing and construction management all under one roof. They helped us maximize the design and usage of the space while allowing us to clearly understand budget options."
