DLR Group is a 100% employee-owned global team of design experts. In Orlando, their team was rapidly expanding, so they needed a new space that could better support their growth. They began by implementing internal engagement sessions to discover the current highlights and most needed additions for their new office.
Together, they hoped to reflect the core values of DLR Group in the office design: commitment, creativity, environmental stewardship, fun, integrity, ownership, sharing, and teamwork. To do this, they incorporated sustainability touchpoints like “the sandbar,” a platform in the center of the office crafted from reclaimed barn wood. They added pops of color throughout the office to highlight culture, included views to nature, and crafted work areas that offer a mix of private and collaborative spaces to support various work styles.
Today, the office acts as a central gathering place for the community, with ample space for hosting events. The bright natural light and open concept plan make each team member feel like they’re part of something bigger, and the nearby lake encourages team wellness. This new office is a space that unifies and reflects the excellence and purpose of DLR Group.

Stantec's design for Twitter's offices in Boulder, Colorado is a thoughtful reflection of the area's railroad heritage. The design concept draws inspiration from the nearby railroad tracks, and this theme is intricately woven throughout the space.
Each floor in the office has its own unique theme, balancing unique design styles and workstyles to support the employees within. The first floor, or “the Receiving Yard” is perfect for social interactions, collaboration, and meetings, creating a warm and inviting space for informal connection. The second and third floors, or “The Classification Yards” were designed for a variety of work styles, using color zoning to define different work areas and promote flexibility. Finally, the fourth floor, or “The Depot,” is a space more for well-being and relaxation, offering spaces for small touchdown conversations, inspiration, and focused productivity.
The design overall encourages a flexible and dynamic approach to workplace culture. Stantec's design successfully captures the essence of the railroad history in Boulder while creating a dynamic and engaging workspace that reflects Twitter's distinctive approach to office design.

Farm Bureau Insurance prioritized innovation and investment in their people and the Lansing community by renovating their 171,000 square foot office space to better support the staff within. Their organization has occupied their current building since the 1970’s, and today the renovation has transformed the space to bring in ample natural light, fully-ergonomic workstations, and dynamic and inspiring design details. Today, the vibrant, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed space supports employees however they want to work—in the office every day, or every once and a while.
“Our leadership engaged employees from the very beginning to determine the true needs and desires. This was much more than a building facelift — it was driven by the thoughts, ideas, and feedback of Farm Bureau employees.” - Domik Feldpausch, Facilities Manager

To create Seattle Children's Hospital, hundreds of passionate families, employees, and community members came together with ZGF Architects and VPI Representatives to craft a flexible, high-performance, patient-centered space. With eight floors above ground and three levels of underground parking, the project adds eight new operating suites, two catheterization labs, 20 flexible inpatient rooms, a new outpatient Cancer and Blood Disorders Clinic (CBDC), an outpatient infusion center, a retail pharmacy, an inpatient pharmacy, laboratories, and sterile processing space. The building connects to phase one, an inpatient bed tower, and an emergency department.
The intentional wayfinding layout called the Discovery Trail outlines four zones within the hospital, and beautiful artwork by Shaun Qwalsius Peterson brings it to life in color and detail. This space was intentionally designed to support both the patient journey and caregiver experience.

One of the pre-eminent challenges in designing the Inova Women’s Hospital and Inova Children’s Hospital was to create distinct yet complementary identities for each of these institutions sharing the same newly constructed building. OFS Brands offers an extensive, proven line of modern furniture appropriate for a wide range of healthcare spaces from patient rooms to waiting areas to cafés. OFS Brands furniture became part of the design concept, helping the team effectively create the desired soothing, spa-like feel of the women’s areas and highlight the bright, playful motif in the pediatric spaces.
Deseret Digital Media was growing rapidly and wanted to accommodate their growing number of staff while staying inside the same office building. To help, Deseret Digital turned to OFS Interiors to help design and support a larger number of employees through better space planning and more wellness-focused solutions. Together with OFS, the team decided to switch to height-adjustable desks, increase collaborative spaces, and add design detail to give the office a more cohesive feel. Today, the Deseret Digital Media team more comfortably fits and finds value in their workspace.
Wyndham Destinations wanted something fresh and new to support their employees and spur them into a bright future. To start, they enlisted the help of Baskerville Design and OFS to create a space that employs both pops of color and sophistication, enables both privacy and collaboration. Today, this initial 3rd-floor refresh has even developed into plans for the entire building, a testament to the success of the project.
Orangetheory is a fitness franchise based out of Boca Raton, Florida. With fitness centers all around the world, Orangetheory provides group workouts with close attention from personal trainers. To bolster client energy and match branding, they pair bright colors with spaces for connection.
Orangetheory decided to update their headquarters to match the fresh, warm, and energetic feel of their fitness centers. Errez Design jumped at the challenge—deciding to play on the company name—Orangetheory—by placing orange trees throughout the office.
Errez Design chose to work with OFS for the warm and homeful feeling of Eleven wood workstations. To fit the orange trees inside, OFS created customized holes in the Eleven wood workstations for each tree to peek out. Next, bright orange Genus chairs were added to provide playful pops of color throughout the space. Today, the completed space provides employees with ample collaborative space, inspiration, and fun play areas for between-meeting breaks.
Sleep Number’s lease was up, so they decided to pair moving from a suburban neighborhood to downtown Minneapolis with a complete rebrand. They hoped that their new space could better reflect their identity and accommodate all employees comfortably despite smaller square footage. In order to do this, the HGA design team, Parameters, and OFS representative Ben Wagner worked together. Ultimately, Sleep Number and HGA decided to imagine the office like a city, small neighborhoods connected by avenues in between and centralized by a large plaza on each floor—all tied together by a soft Nordic palette. These spaces employed much more “we” space than “me” space, an adjustment, but driver of collaboration and connection. A long-standing friendship and an aligned vision led Sleep Number to choose OFS furniture for large portions of their ancillary space. Today, the new space not only encourages employee relationships and wellness, it inspires all who visit and reflects a hotel-open office feeling that captures the imagination and draws visitors in to learn more.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) sought to create a versatile space that accentuated their location behind Independence Hall. This space needed to seamlessly transition from an open plan to private offices, including spaces for entertainment, connection, and focus.
Despite their variety of needs, Meyer Design sought an efficient and cost effective solution that could accommodate limited design hours. OFS Brands’ array of space solutions and National IPA contract proved perfect to craft a functional, beautiful, and personalized space that went beyond their expectations.
By using the National IPA contract which offers a great pricing structure, there was no reason to send the furniture package to bid. This allowed the design team the time and freedom to fully specify one manufacturer and delve deep into the options they had to offer. The time typically allocated to bidding could now be spent paying attention to details within the design. The overall project was a success and the client is very happy! - Deb Breslow, Principal at Meyer Design

HR&A is a workplace for an urban planning firm located in a high-rise complex in downtown Los Angeles.
To address their stated need for an open work culture, the design divided the workplace into interlocked pairs of semi-private spaces. There are no traditional private offices. Open and semi-private work areas dovetail with a library, lounge, a phone booth and 2 conference areas. The space frames aerial views of the city, bringing in light and transparency and in a way keeping the planners connected to their city.
