Situated in the picturesque Township of Uxbridge, KOTT stands as a trusted haven for premium lumber, framing materials, and home exterior products and services. Boasting an in-house design team, they collaborate closely with clients to craft bespoke layouts and quotes for roof trusses, floor systems, and panelized components.
OUR GOAL
In a bid to revitalize their outdated and inefficient office space, KOTT enlisted the expertise of Studio Forma. The previous layout, characterized by oversized offices and poor space utilization, hindered staff efficiency and productivity. The overarching goal was to create an environment that not only enhances functionality but also inspires creativity and collaboration.
Integrated Workspaces
Studio Forma devised an open concept design that seamlessly blends open workstation areas with private offices, promoting natural light flow and fostering a bright, airy ambiance conducive to productivity.
Agrarian Aesthetic
Drawing inspiration from KOTT's rural setting, the interior design showcases half-sawn hemlock wall cladding, stack logs wall covering, and charming Farrow&Ball wallpaper depicting rustic farm scenes, imbuing the space with warmth and character.
Expanded Lower Level
Overcoming the challenge of low ceilings, Studio Forma raised the ceiling height to accommodate a full suite of amenities including a spacious lunchroom, lounge area, boardroom, and ample storage, maximizing functionality and comfort.
Summary
Through meticulous planning and innovative design solutions, Studio Forma has transformed KOTT’s office space into a harmonious blend of functionality and style. From the integration of open workspaces and private offices to the thoughtful selection of materials evoking the agrarian charm of the locale, every aspect of the design reflects a commitment to enhancing both productivity and aesthetic appeal. The result is a revitalized environment that not only caters to the practical needs of the team but also fosters a sense of pride and inspiration, setting the stage for continued growth and success.
