Great office design is inspiring and sparks creativity and productivity. It establishes the visual identity of a company, reflecting its culture and character, and creates an effective and comfortable workplace. Developing the optimal mix of public and private areas and providing workplace security for staff and visitors are two factors to consider when designing an office. In executive suites design, Gregory Sharp Architect works with clients to strike the right balance between the need for high-level corporate privacy and staff access to company leaders.

Renovating an existing office space provides the opportunity to retain charming details of the original building, such as vintage wood floors, columns and pipe work, but add the amenities of a modern workplace. Key to the successful replanning of a space is the integration of modern technology and the introduction of innovative and fresh materials like glass and steel, while retaining the central elements of corporate identity. If the build happens amid existing operations, executing the renovation in multiple phases will minimize disruption of the company’s normal activity during construction.

In a new building, smart utilization of common support spaces, such as bathrooms, vending machines, prep stations, mechanical and circulation equipment and maintenance spaces, can add back more than 20% of rentable square footage. Separating these elements from the office areas maximizes tenant space and lowers tenant costs. Designing flexible office space allows the space to change with the needs of the tenants. Whether renovating or building new, Gregory Sharp Architect works with clients to achieve beautiful, efficiently functioning offices that improve the bottom line.
