Strata Decision Technology, a fast-growing healthcare software and consulting company, hired us to develop their Chicago office in an existing space at the Aon Center. They wanted to build upon the space's "strong bones" and convey the dynamic character of the firm’s innovative and forward-thinking culture.
The directive was to bring more energy and life to the existing environment. The application of darker background finishes was used to create drama. The selection of a saturated color palette, dramatic furniture profiles and reflective architectural finishes, such as colored glass and stainless steel, worked to increase the visual interest. Graphic light boxes in key locations unified and enhanced the energy of the space. The windowless corners of the building provided the opportunity to establish casual meeting areas with their own color scheme and unique furnishings. A series of enclosed meeting spaces were developed to enhance collaboration and create visual focal points to further aided in wayfinding throughout the space.
