Raising the bar brings industrious concepts to light, changing the view from the bottom up.

Elevating the perspective to brighter possibilities, our design team rose to the occasion and approached the complex structural challenges of a 1900s era rubber factory. The design solution gave each partner a panoramic view, and all who spend time in the space benefit from an abundance of natural light. Adding a raised floor provided a visual and psychological lift, as well as a cost-saving technical solution. All ductwork, power, data and phone lines were placed below the floor surface, thus freeing up the ceiling for a new, modern expansiveness with an industrial aesthetic. Exposing the curved columns lent modern lines, transforming the firm’s corporate image to one of contemporary relevance, efficiency and excellence.

 

Let’s expose your project to the light of day.  enviconblue

the power of light and view By improving the light of a space, opportunities are created to thoughtfully consider perspectives of the people inside. Can they be more satisfied? Can they be healthier? Can they be more productive, fulfilled and feel more connected to their environment as conceived? Our design team is well-versed in the role of natural light as we continually experience the powerful changes that occur in employees’ psychology and physiology, inevitably improving a client’s bottom line. Glimpses of plant-filled inner courtyards, the energy of the street scene below and restorative vistas create a harmony. We always have the complete picture in view.

Visibility brings awareness, as our transformation of an industrial building to a living art space inspires excellence.

Our choreographed solution from walls to windows reveals the power of transparency. Because passers by pause to watch rehearsals, dancers stay “on pointe” resulting in more polished performances. Our design with clear visibility in mind also revitalized engagement and increased student enrollment in both the Community School and the Academy.

 

Are you ready to take it to the next level?   enviconblue

the power of transparency Buildings come alive as greater visibility encourages fluid interactivity and an open sharing of information. People respond to this increased engagement with a desire to excel, to express positively in their community. The results are often improved performance, elevated accountability and enhanced productivity. Our design team, ever sensitive to client’s individual needs, creates a balanced solution, a graceful flow between private and open spaces. The results invite a buoyant elevation of thought, willful discipline and creative process…inspiring and guiding clients to new heights.

  • Light Our designers turned walls into windows, increasing natural light throughout the building.
  • Growth Enrollment increased in the community school, which went from 500 to 5000 students.
  • Sustainability Environmental factors were a major consideration. The result: one Dumpster went to landfill (typical for a project of this size is ten) because we repurposed 75% of the materials. We cleaned it up, redesigned for efficiency, then put it back in.

With stylish efficiency, our innovative solutions for small space design appeal to the sophisticated aesthetic of an international clientele.

Sleek, streamlined and contemporary, our design of these luxury suites was a study in compact functionality. The space needed to offer high-end media capabilities, complex food and beverage service, concealed storage and comfortable accommodation for high-energy mingling. Intelligent spatial engineering and clean, impactful design crossed the finish line together for a finely-tuned solution. And, the project came in sleekly under budget. This reinforces that good design doesn’t have to be costly, but it does require a deeply committed creative team. Ours welcomed the challenge, exceeded expectations, and created a jewel-like backdrop to reflect the excitement below.

 

Is it time for design exhilaration?  enviconblue

 

the power of designing within limitations Beyond the boundaries of budget, space and time lives innovation. Our design team thrives in this realm, where constraints become opportunities for the unexpected. This commitment to challenging conventional thinking requires discipline, a big part of our daily practice, as we push to find the next right answer. And then the next one. Perfectly fitting together the intricate pieces into a well crafted, finely tuned space.

By thinking outside the everyday realm, we design surprises to inspire a world of creativity.

Full of delightful surprises, we transformed this classic office space into a post-industrial, quirky world with inviting references to nature’s elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. These organic elements came to life in surreal retreats from work stations, encouraging free thought and inspiring people to be productive anywhere in the space. The eight-foot high sculpted “nest” of twigs and branches was designed as an airy and informal meeting incubator to hatch new ideas. Engaged and fully firing brains need oxygen to ignite, so we brought O2 to the mix with a living upside-down garden. More discoveries unfold as a hidden key unlocks a concealed door, revealing the “Super-Secret Hideout.” You never know what else you’ll find!

Let us reveal surprising results in your space.  enviconblue

the power of surprise  By designing imaginative spaces, we transform how people work, play and succeed. An unfolding throughout a work brings mini moments of eureka, increasing energy, inspiring innovation and creating possibilities. Like getting a bike on your birthday, when you thought you were getting a book. Designing to elicit this sensation, we inject the perfect amount of pleasure into your spaces, while assuring that the process runs smoothly to avoid obstacles to the flow of the project. Our team’s thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and skilled expertise come into well orchestrated performance--keeping a project on task, on time and on budget. And sprinkled throughout, our fully engaged left brains jump over to the right brain party and dance to the tune of “what else can this be?”

Our potent prescription was a fully-developed design theme for an extraordinary and adventurous clinic visit that inspires a return trip.

This pharmaceutical research facility performs clinical drug trials with an ongoing demand for large numbers of volunteers in order to achieve valid results. Our creative team embraced our client’s goal to create a space that was innovative and unique, yet comfortable enough for volunteers to relax in during the important clinical work at hand. The fun and engaging travel design concept is “R&R” (Research and Relaxation) allowing “guests” to enjoy their time at the destination.

The story unfolds as such: As clients arrive in the main lobby (the airport concourse), they receive a passport and point of departure to one of three inviting clinic destinations: “The Beach,” “The Mountains” or “The City.” The travel theme is packed with vivid design details to conjure up pleasant memories and a sense of escape—umbrella drink anyone? Room for growth played a role in the design concept to keep the experience fresh as they expand in the future. The newest itinerary option will be “The Meadow,” for dental volunteers. Sometimes the story is so good, you’ll want to travel there again and again.

Let’s start writing your story.  enviconblue

the power of thematic design Storytelling is one of our favorite vehicles to engage people. From creating delightful experiences within conventional solutions to crafting discoveries inside wildly compelling worlds, our unique concepts are designed to create a variety of emotions. Environments can comfort people within clinical settings, spark creativity in highly competitive realms, recapture times of glory and grandeur. Color, texture, furniture, materials, layout, light and the most detailed design elements are woven together to reinforce the metaphor so that we touch senses, heighten emotions and inspire greatness. Always with the goal of reinforcing your organization’s mission; we discover opportunities for new dimensions and take you to new levels.
