Featured WORKPLACE DESIGN ProjecT
VAKSAM OFFICE SPACE
For this private office renovation, our team delivered a comprehensive scope of services including program analysis, space planning, budgeting, project management, and full furniture/finishes selection and installation. The design establishes a minimalist backdrop that highlights the tenant’s artwork while introducing distinctive architectural features such as custom wood-paneled walls, a glass wall system, and continuous profiled wood trim.
Sustainability was a key focus, achieved through the use of recycled countertops, FSC-certified wood veneer, and biodegradable linoleum flooring. Program elements included private offices, collaborative sitting areas, and curated furniture, lighting, and finishes.

This foundational phase runs in parallel across multiple teams. Due Diligence involves site and regulatory research by the architect and customer consultants, while Programming defines the project’s goals and operational needs. The result is a clear understanding of site constraints and a preliminary layout that aligns with your business model.
-
Office Design Layout, or Schematic Design, translates the program into initial architectural concepts. We collaborate with engineers and consultants to develop layout options, evaluate code compliance, and prepare documents for early pricing and permit applications.
-
In this phase, the design is refined in greater detail. Material selections, fixture schedules, and engineering systems are coordinated. The focus is on integrating all disciplines to ensure constructability and cost accuracy.
-
Construction Documents finalize all design decisions into detailed drawings and specifications ready for bidding, permitting, and construction. Final pricing packages are produced, and documents are submitted for approvals.
-
During construction, the architect provides support to ensure the project is built per design. This includes responding to contractor questions, reviewing submittals, observing progress, and resolving issues in real-time.
