When Buchner Manufacturing, a leader in high-quality exterior building products, sought to revitalize their Pefferlaw office, they entrusted Studio Forma Interior Design with the ambitious task. Their vision was clear: to create a space that not only mirrored their robust brand identity but also enhanced functionality for their team and showroom visitors. Studio Forma embraced this challenge, delivering a design solution that seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal with practical utility.
OUR GOAL
Studio Forma’s approach was holistic, focusing on achieving a balance between modern aesthetics and operational efficiency. The goals were multifaceted:
Reflect Buchner Manufacturing’s Brand Identity: The design needed to resonate with the company’s strong market presence, showcasing a sleek, modern look that aligns with their reputation for quality and innovation.
Optimize Space Utilization: Given the limited space, it was crucial to maximize functionality without compromising on style or the overall flow of the office.
Enhance Customer and Employee Experience: Creating a welcoming environment for visitors and a productive workspace for the team was paramount, ensuring that both could thrive in a cohesive setting.
Zoned Layout
Studio Forma's strategic zoning of the office efficiently accommodates diverse user needs, from contractors to visitors, with designated areas like a customer service desk for immediate contractor assistance and an organized showroom for homeowners, optimizing space utility and flow.
Custom Furniture
Studio Forma tailored the Buchner team's workspace with custom solutions like ergonomic desks and dedicated lunch areas, enhancing workflow and brand identity through modern lighting and furniture.
Creative Approach
In the lunchroom, Studio Forma employed creative flooring and wall paint designs to fashion a cozy lounge area, evoking a sense of nature indoors. Custom millwork, adorned with murals echoing the outdoors, not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also fostered collaboration among team members, creating a welcoming and conducive environment for shared ideas and innovation.
