Studio Forma, a distinguished interior design firm renowned for its innovative approach, was tasked with the transformation of Powell Contracting’s office space, an esteemed name in the road construction industry. The previous layout, marked by its labyrinthine arrangement of desks and offices, hindered effective communication and collaboration among team members.
OUR GOAL
Our primary objective in this redesign endeavor was to revolutionize Powell Contracting’s office environment, replacing the restrictive compartmentalization with an open concept layout conducive to enhanced interaction and productivity. By integrating functional solutions and creative design elements, our aim was to cultivate a workspace that inspires creativity, fosters collaboration, and reflects Powell Contracting’s esteemed reputation within the industry.
Flexible Workstations
Studio Forma introduced new workstations featuring partitions to balance privacy and openness, ensuring employees have dedicated space for focused work while facilitating easy communication when needed.
Strategic Meeting Spaces
Private meeting rooms and breakout areas were strategically incorporated to encourage spontaneous collaborations and discussions, fostering a dynamic and agile work culture.
Industry-Inspired Aesthetic
Concrete and rebar partitions, coupled with graphic elements such as a Toronto map feature wall and road-sign-like designs in the stairwell, pay homage to Powell Contracting's legacy in the road construction industry, infusing the space with a sense of identity and pride.
