CREJ - Building Dialogue - December 2017
1. ArtPro Client: SteelWave, 370 Interlocken Blvd., Broomfield Art Pro is a local custom graphics printer and installer with an enormous range of products and professional services. ArtPro’s superb in-house graphic designers bring conceptual ideas into functional reality. To augment a multipurpose tenant lounge, ArtPro designed and created custom vinyl wall graphics inspired by a geometric upholstery fabric pattern used on furniture pieces within the same space. Translucent glass film, which echoed the same geometric contours, offered both privacy and design continuity for a fitness room off the main lounge space. www.artproprint.com 2. Merchants Office Furniture Client: Engrain, 5660 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite 350, Greenwood Village “Merchants” boasts 75 years in metro Denver. Merchants’ recent partnership with West Elm Workspace With Inscape offers a “resimercial” design strategy, a fusion of residential personal style and commercial durability. That marriage proved fortuitous for a real estate marketing firm looking to embrace the industrial feel of a downtown loft with just the right measure of residential impact. Merchants worked tirelessly to blend the West Elm brand with the client’s eclectic collection of unique artwork and signature pieces. The resulting open plan space featured a mix of seating areas promoting the collaborative culture of the highly mobile millennial staff and management. www.merchantsofficefurniture.com 3. K2 Client: QSC, 4888 Pearl East Circle, Suite 108, Boulder Modern office space must fulfill the requirements for both the aesthetic and the functional. That is, the successful space must perform, especially in a specialized environment. K2’s consulting services guided a Boulder-based designer and manufacturer of audio and video systems through the rigorous construction process for a high-technology office. K2’s recommendations for acoustic performance and custom A/V systems designs transformed the space from simple office to true working sound lab. The finished space featured several multifunctional hubs to allow design staff to build, test and tweak their new technologies in-house without disturbing fellow coworkers. www.thisisk2.com 4. Ramos Upholstery Client: U Baron Group/Etai’s Bakery Café, 6400 S. Fiddlers Green Circle, Greenwood Village Restaurant seating spaces always require functionality, and durability. When a local family owned catering and food service company required custom banquette and booth seating, they called upon local, family owned Ramos Upholstery to provide the expert craftsmanship. Ramos delivered custom furniture pieces that not only fit perfectly within the functional footprint, but upheld the clean design aesthetic demanded by the project team. Ramos Upholstery’s creative services helped shape the unique, signature look of the restaurant through the reliability of low-tech, high-level artistry for which they are so highly regarded. www.ramosupholstery.com 5. The Lighting Agency Client: SteelWave, Stanford Place III, 4582 S. Ulster St., Denver Custom architectural lighting is as much technology as artistry in today’s built environment. Denver-based The Lighting Agency simplifies the complex process of designing and installing architectural lighting and lighting controls. For a remodel of an oddly shaped lobby with a limited ceiling height, The Lighting Agency partnered with the design team to implement a geometric cove light plan that brought new life to a previously “vanilla” ceiling plane. Its invaluable assistance provided guidance and support through the installation, ensuring the overall, original vision was functionally achieved. www.thelightingagency.com
