A Bright and Timeless Commercial Lobby Refresh

In today’s competitive marketplace, the experience a building owner creates can be a major differentiator to attract strong credit tenants. Recognizing the need for a fresh first impression, KBS and JLL engaged Elsy Studios to reimagine the 1,800-square-foot lobby of Village Center Station, a Class A office building in Greenwood Village. The renovation needed to be quick and cost-effective with limited disruption to existing tenants.

Having collaborated with KBS on previous projects, we understood their desire for an elegant, timeless aesthetic in their buildings. Working with existing features in the lobby, our design team drew on hospitality-inspired elements to maximize usability and visual interest.

Colorful sculptural art by Tommy Moss serves as the main focal point and helps bring movement into the space. New furniture groupings lit by elegant glass chandeliers create inviting areas for impromptu meetings. Large light pillars were replaced with sculptural planters, bringing the outside in. Updated paint and wallcovering pops against the existing dark wood paneling and millwork. New carpeting further complements the existing terrazzo flooring and its distinctive color scheme. The result is an efficient, impactful design that will stand the test of time.

A Corporate Office Goes Boho

For Adswerve’s new 12,188-square-foot office space located at 999 18th Street in downtown Denver, we delivered a design that reflects the technology marketing company’s forward-thinking and dynamic culture in a vibrant, welcoming space.

Adswerve wanted their new office to reflect their relaxed culture and innovative business model in an engaging and comfortable space for their team members. Elsy seamlessly incorporated a contemporary bohemian style to create a space that looks both professional and playful. Throughout the project, the design team implemented strategic elements that served to soften the standard ‘tech company’ aesthetic and reinforce the uniqueness of Adswerve’s culture. Bright colors blend seamlessly with ‘worn’-looking textures including rough sawn, reclaimed wood and cork board walls, in order to achieve a natural, harmonious balance. Layering contrasting textures, colors and finishes with Adswerve’s current brand standards, we created a homey and bright workplace that inspires creativity and innovation.

SUPPORTING ATTRACTION & RETENTION WITH A DYNAMIC, COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT

A rising national cybersecurity company with offices across the country, Coalfire was looking to expand their office footprint to accommodate their growing Denver workforce. The goal was to create a dynamic and collaborative environment with fun, interactive elements that would help differentiate the company in the competition for top talent.

Elsy worked closely with Coalfire’s leadership team on a phased approach for this occupied remodel. Through an expertly managed and highly collaborative process, Elsy was able to execute the project with minimal disruption to the business. The design features a creative use of color and light as well as an inventive use of the new corporate branding to reinforce Coalfire’s identity throughout the space. Updating the color palette in the office and lobby area brings in views and daylight, providing a more vibrant office atmosphere. Geometric flooring adds a sense of playfulness to public and gathering areas.

In the work areas, acoustic screening helps control sound, providing a better environment for concentration, while comfortable furniture offers flexibility for employees seeking alternative workspace options. The resulting design gives Coalfire the engaging, collaboration-based workspace they sought while conveying a more compelling brand identity.

CREATING A HIGH-END WORKPLACE WITH CREATIVE MATERIALS AND DISTINCTIVE DESIGN

OPTIMIZING DESIGN TO CREATE A BIG IMPACT ON A BUDGET

A small budget does not have to equal a small design impact; it just means you have to be creative and selective. That is exactly what Elsy Studios did when we were hired by Miles Marketing to design their new office space.

Miles Marketing focuses exclusively on travel and tourism marketing. They wanted a space that reflected their fun culture and love of travel. New sit-to-stand workstations were grouped in quadrants divided by a variety of conference rooms and open huddle spaces, allowing employees to easily find a place for quick collaboration, or more formal spaces for longer, focused meetings. Custom travel-inspired graphics are visible throughout the space, creating a vibrant backdrop and reinforcing the client’s branding.

The large break room can be opened up completely to the main conference room, providing an opportunity for all 80 employees to sit in one room for the monthly all-hands staff meetings. With their energetic new space, the Miles Marketing team and culture are thriving.

FOSTERING GROWTH IN A REFRESHED, MODERN WORK ENVIRONMENT

Experiencing strong company growth, Innovest needed to expand their existing office to foster future advancement. Elsy Studios saw this as an opportunity to not only enhance their workspace, but to also reinforce Innovest’s unique brand throughout the space. The project was an occupied remodel, requiring creative thinking and close collaboration between Innovest, Elsy’s designers, and the building owner and contractor.

Carefully making use of every design element, Elsy introduced an edgy color scheme, modern finishes, and new textures to the space while still working within the existing footprint of the space. The team also used existing furniture and finishes, alongside new touches such as a wood veneer on the ceiling soffit, sleek light fixtures, decorative screens, and custom millwork.

When the client requested the conference room glass to be obscured with privacy film, Elsy saw this as an opportunity to use the glass as a canvas for a colorful abstract art film. The custom art film incorporated the office color palette, tying the bold design together. Blending modern design features with Innovest’s existing furniture and footprint, Elsy created an entirely new look and feel for the investment firm.

Supporting a Healthy, Active Employee Base in Boulder

Hybris, one of the world’s fastest-growing commerce platform providers, opened their new Boulder office in the summer of 2014. Many of their employees are competitive triathletes so showers, a gym and a flexible work environment were ‘must haves’ on their list of priorities. No stuffy offices and board rooms for these active tech employees.

All 50 employees have sit-to-stand workstations in an open floor plate. Small collaboration spaces are sprinkled throughout the suite, allowing for quick huddling and brainstorming sessions. Bike racks, lockers and shower rooms allow for employees to head outdoors for a quick bike ride during the day or as an alternative to driving into the office. Working within a tight budget, we creatively incorporated unique branding elements throughout the space, delivering a fun work environment that exceeded all expectations.
