THE CHALLENGE: Expand to a Larger Office Space
As Boston Drain experienced growth under the leadership of the second generation, they realized the necessity for a larger office space. To accommodate their expanding operations, they sought out a new location that aligned with their business and provided the room they needed for their team to thrive.
Embracing the Industrial Look: Infusing Boston Drain's Workspace with Rustic Vibes
Given Boston Drain's industrial nature, they opted for an office design that complemented their identity. Pops of red, inspired by their logo, were strategically incorporated to add vibrancy to the workspace. Office Gallery explored various finish options that harmonized with the rustic flooring and black wood trim, ultimately choosing a custom laminate solution from IOF (International Office Furniture) to design all the desking in the space.
THE SOLUTION: Custom Desking from IOF
Office Gallery's solution involved custom desking from IOF, a Canadian brand known for its high-quality and customizable office furniture. The desking was designed to meet Boston Drain's specific requirements, including large work surfaces for blueprints, lateral file storage for billing and invoicing, and considerations for wire management. This tailored approach ensured optimal functionality for their unique business needs.
THE RESULTS: Vibrant Red Chair Designs: Adding Energy and Brand Identity to Boston Drain's Office
To inject energy and align with Boston Drain's brand identity, Office Gallery designed Sitonit desk and guest chairs in fiery red with white frames. These vibrant chairs served as focal points, adding a striking visual element to the office space while providing comfortable seating for employees and visitors.
Functionality and Personalization: Tailored Desks for Boston Drain's Husband and Wife Business Owners
In recognizing the diverse needs of Boston Drain's team members, Office Gallery designed each workstation to accommodate their respective job disciplines and work preferences. The desks were tailored to include features such as ample work surfaces for blueprints, lateral file storage for billing and invoicing, and desk top translucent paneling for privacy. This personalized approach ensured that each team member had a workspace that supported their unique work styles.
