to their office for having the largest amount of glass in the East Bay.
∙ Redesign new location to match sophistication of new rebrand.
∙ Maintain the historic feel of the "glass house" name.
∙ Provide employees with a workspace that encourages productivity and well-being.
∙ Utilize glass walls throughout the space to build upon the glass house aesthetic.
∙ Embrace natural light with light finishes and complementary colors.
GOALS
STRATEGIES
-
“Your team was great and very well organized. Some furniture vendors seem to forget that
we all have the same goal of completing a project on time and that our mutual clients are
happy in the end, so it was refreshing to work alongside you guys.” – WCI-GC, Inc.
To transform the space, Avelar brought in Kimball Dealer Partner,
Be Workplace Design, Studio Benavente Architects, and
Kimball. Each department was considered independently with
their unique furniture needs in mind. Be Workplace Design and
Kimball provided high-quality renderings with interior finishings for
visualization and used premium products to furnish conference
rooms, private offices, open workstations, HUB spaces and
lounge areas. Avelar had great input with each decision from
their understanding of interiors, construction and task workers in
their firm. Visualizing technologies helped to transform this space
from start to finish in a way that enabled a specific vision to be
beautifully brought to life.
They carried the glass theme throughout the space most of their
interior walls as well. An impressive Dock conference table and
Joya chairs with leather upholstery were chosen for the stunning
conference room to create a spacious and sophisticated space
to meet as a team or host clients.
The sleek and sophisticated Priority collection was selected
for Avelar’s private offices. Be Workplace utilized multiple
components that support efficiency and practicality including
worksurfaces, wall storage, open storage and a pedestal that
doubles as storage or extra seating if needed. In the open office
space, Xsede Height Adjust workstations were paired with
Footprint storage and Joya task chairs to provide employees
flexibility and comfort in their daily tasks. Small phone booth
spaces were also created using Pairings lounge seating and
tables to provide a private retreat for employees when needed.
The team at Avelar was very satisfied with their new home and
were especially appreciative of the quality furniture they received
and the relationship built with the dealer team during this
year-long project.
