The design was to be the most progressive and engaging office space in Rochester, matching the creative culture of Butler Till. The project was planned, designed and constructed during the pandemic – to be a “magnet” to draw employees back to work.

• The floor plan provides logical primary & secondary circulation, to facilitate intuitive circulation, but also to frame / feature architectural elements, artwork, and outdoor views.

• Visually exciting and colorful design - spaces were planned for placement of artwork, including a central, two-story custom mural (abstraction of their logo) that connects floors within the central “theater stairway” element. This dynamic element links floors in a “village commons” style social, collaboration and media space.

• Exterior walls were opened to enjoy natural light / views. Workstation areas have broad visual access to windows. Offices, conference rooms and gathering spaces have glass walls, connecting spaces and users. Lighting was designed in a dispersed brightness, creating a relaxed mood.

• Different “ways” to work - in addition to offices / workstations, there are many workspace alternatives, traditional conference rooms, small open and closed niches, open collaboration areas with seating options, central theater stairs, semiprivate library, outdoor patio, and “gathering” areas intentionally imbedded into communal areas.
