GFI acted as its own interior architect when it came time
to expand and remodel its Fan-based studios. In the expansion, GFI grew
to two floors and inherited a retail storefront which allowed tremendous
street visibility but very little privacy. We also decided to practice what
we preach by using very economical and interesting materials to accomplish
an end product that is spectacular.
All of our designers were moved to the downstairs studio that was divided
with low partitions made of a translucent plastic which allowed for working
privacy, but did not isolate the team and maintained an airy
feeling. Warm colors on alternating walls were used to soften the space
and further the distinctiveness of our studios. Moveable furniture allows
each designer to customize their working environment to their needs. A final
touch is the custom signage which is completely visible to anyone who passes
by our storefront. |
