Capital Strategies - An Interior Design Project

Capital Strategies’ new 8,320-square-foot office was designed to create a sophisticated, modern workplace uniquely suited to the firm’s elite client base and professional staff. The office has a predominately neutral scheme which was embellished by the wooded landscape viewed through expansive sections of glass throughout the space. Finishes were clean and coordinated such as glass, dark stained mahogany panels, painted doors and mouldings which combined with stylish transitional furnishings. The highly functional yet smart contemporary design was achieved through detailed coordination within a tight timeframe.

Capital Strategies

When Capital Strategies decided to relocate their offices into a new Class-A building, it gave them the opportunity to consolidate square footage as well as update their image. Their new 8,320-square-foot office was designed efficiently and purposely to create a sophisticated, modern workplace uniquely suited to the firm’s elite client base and professional staff.

The predominantly neutral scheme is embellished by the wooded landscape viewed through expansive sections of glass in the reception area, conference rooms and offices. To maximize daylight and encourage an open feeling, perimeter offices and conference rooms have full-height glass walls and workstations partitions are low allowing light to penetrate into the space.

Designed to support both daily work activities and social functions, the reception area is generously proportioned to accommodate large gatherings while serving as the welcome center for clients. The desk composed of white lacquered wood with insets of specialty finished wood panels, sets the tone for other millwork throughout the space.

Clean and coordinated finishes such as glass, dark stained mahogany panels, painted doors and mouldings combine with stylish transitional furnishings to make the office fresh and updated. Budget conscience design decisions such as textured vinyl wallcovering used as backsplashes in between cabinetry in the breakroom, catering kitchen and coffee bar were creative ways to introduce pizzazz.

Because timing was critical, the project’s four-month design phase and four-month construction schedule played a vital role in selection of finishes and furnishings.  Highly functional yet stylish contemporary design demonstrates detailed coordination within a tight timeframe.
