A Virginia-based company dedicated to providing sustainable energy, AES Corporation has a strong national brand rooted in collaboration, growth and forward thinking. When they asked the Elsy team to design their 25,838-square-foot office in Louisville, we made it our mission to deliver a space that celebrated their brand and values while integrating a local feel that created a unique sense of place.

The result is a design that is highly sustainable and cohesive. Many materials were reused, truly embodying AES’ commitment to sustainability. Elsy also maximized AES’ brand expression throughout their space with touches of green and blue from their logo, a one-of-a-kind table made of solar panels, and Colorado-inspired artwork.

Located in an old industrial warehouse, Elsy warmed up the space with a welcoming look and feel. To that end, the design team used Solar Tubes to optimize sustainable natural daylight. This solution not only creates a light and bright look and feel, it is also energy-efficient and reduces environmental CO2 emissions.

Layering a cohesive color palette, strategic lighting, biophilia, and unique furniture pieces, Elsy delivered a space infused with the AES branding that supports its local culture.
