Located in The Inkwell Office Building at Crescent Village, a 5-story, 37,000 square foot office building also owned by Arlie & Company. This project received LEED Platinum for commercial interior, the second project in the state to achieve this level of certification.

A primary goal of the project was to embody the identity of the company in the work environment. The architect worked closely with the client to identify the precise character that resonated with who they were and wanted to be. The space is open and collaborative, with spirited colors and natural finishes. Materials were chosen for air quality and resource efficiency, and include a high percentage of recycled content, regionally sourced and rapidly renewable resources.

The interior reflects a complex corporate personality. The finely scaled black steel skeleton creates classic, strong lines. The Douglas fir, cork, bamboo and maple bring warmth and naturalness. An off-white “constant” wraps the perimeter to minimize glare and establish a calm backdrop. Deep, rich colors convey the true spirit of the company, anchoring destination conference rooms, the core and the feature walls coordinated with commissioned art.
