This inviting Class A multi-tenant office building stands in the heart of Chicago’s northwest suburbs, located on prime real estate at the I-90 and Roselle Road interchange. The space features a freshly renovated three-story lobby and atrium, outdoor patio, tenant lounge, and conference center. Businesses seeking modern office space with clean, mindful designs that consider the evolving needs of today’s office workers are thrilled with this property’s warm appeal. The property owner has invested in modern interiorscape designs since 2010, using unique greenery to craft a relaxing indoor space that’s an innovative retreat from frigid Illinois winters.
Challenges
Two related challenges on this property are responsible and impactful use within the interiorscape budget and a recent lobby space redesign. New ideas and modern materials to bring ideas to life can test an interiorscape budget. Of course, when holiday decor is added in, the provider has to get creative to ensure that it doesn’t cause added budget pressure.
As with any office plantings, great care must be taken to prevent spillage and leaks. Pre-built planters highlighted that point in this office space. Irrigating the expansive interiorscape was another water-related hurdle. Caution would be needed while finding the most efficient watering procedure and schedule that fits the client’s needs.
Rounding out the challenges was the client’s concern about the outdoor environment. How would our interiorscape team design an indoor space that didn’t seem out of place during the blustery Chicago area winters? Plant selection would have to be fine-tuned to strike the ideal balance.
