Project Description
Optio Data was in need of an updated corporate headquarters and proof of concept center. The program called for renovations to their existing office space, additional warehouse space, server room, workstations, and outdoor patio. The project needed to move quickly in response to the company’s anticipated increase in their workforce.
Their logo and company motto “Simplify IT”, inspired our design. The entry canopy and lobby area were framed by overlapping ceiling planes in a design that was derived from their branding. These forms extend into the walls and millwork, welcoming visitors and accentuating the server visibility to the lobby and conference room. Lighting was strategically placed in large impact areas.
Our simple and sleek design successfully brings Optio’s motto to life. Their headquarters needed to be more high-tech and modern, and the resulting space achieves that. The design process from start to finish took a total of four months, and our team helped them reach a new level of success.
