PROJECT OF THE WEEK • ARCHITECTURE

IA designs branded, flexible

headquarters space for ViaWest

iaWest is a Denver-based network provider of data centers, managed services

and cloud solutions. IA provided interior architectural services for its corporate

headquarters relocation.

Client objectives included integrating technology into the design that would help en-

able collaboration. IA worked closely with ViaWest’s internal team to fully understand and

develop the technology goals for the project. Once these were established, IA collaborated

with theAV design team to provide the appropriate solutions for videoconferencing, shared

collaboration and environmental graphics.

An interior staircase provides easy access within the client’s secure two-story of-

fice. It features a structural suspension system and appears to be light and floating.

The stainless steel tubes offer the necessary structural support as well as the guard-

rail and handrail system.

Through an integrated design approach, IA providedViaWest and its employees a brand-

ed, forward-thinking workspace, designed to provide maximum flexibility for future.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK • OFFICE FURNITURE

Teammates outfits historic

Cabela’s building in Nebraska

eammates Commercial Interiors recently completed furniture design and installation

services for Cabela’s at its historic Old Corporate building on 13th and Illinois in down-

town Sidney, Nebraska. Teammates and Acquilano Leslie worked with Cabela’s to

preserve and highlight the structure of the historic building, which at one time served as both

Cabela’s first retail store and its first corporate office.

Original brick wall and timber beam construction were refinished to their original beauty

while replacing and expanding windows to bring more light into the space. Dick and Jim

Cabela’s original private offices, built out with handsome wood and glass partitions, were

left untouched as conference rooms to display photography showcasing the history of the

company. New private offices were constructed with demountable Trendwall product, to

make future reconfiguration simple and less damaging to the structure. Wood columns

throughout the building made workstations space-planning a challenge, which Teammates

met with custom cut Teknion’s Boulevard and Expansion furniture, allowing integration of

these columns while maintaining efficient use of space. The panel partitions and screens

incorporated glass and light finishes to bring light into the previously cavernous space.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK • ARCHITECTURE

Rowland+Broughton

brings a modern

aesthetic to a classic

Aspen condo

owland+Broughton Architecture/

Interior Design recently com-

pleted the remodel of Maison

Bianca, a two-level, 2,000-square-foot

condominium in Aspen's downtown

core. This unique project was part of the

firm’s total remodel of the 12-unit Der

Berghof condominium building, which

was Aspen's first condominium building

from 1964.

This versatile, light-filled space was

mindfully designed considering cur-

rent spatial trends. With the intention

of capturing Aspen Mountain views and

creating a feeling of spaciousness, the

interior layouts were designed to flow

onto one another and create open, mul-

tifunctional interiors. Environmentally

friendly and low maintenance materials,

such as concrete wall panels and sustainable flooring by LV Wood, provide a clean,

modern aesthetic throughout the space. A minimalist approach to furnishings and

design details such as a floating, glass-rail stairway, encourage focus outward. The

project included the addition of a third level with a large, partially shaded deck area,

a paneled green roof to help reduce solar gain and realigned exterior stairs to allow

for private entry courtyards for the lower units.
