The Perkins & Will Boston Office is a testament to reimagining workplace design. Reflecting the firm’s culture and the principles of Living Design, the space promotes collaboration, experimentation, and a sustainable, resilient, and equitable environment. The office was designed to accommodate a variety of work styles. The flexible layout features collaborative spaces for presentations and reviews, open areas for socializing and events, and traditional workstations for focused work. The strategic use of over 5,000 square feet of reSAWN TIMBER co.’s European White Oak flooring plays a pivotal role in creating a natural and healthy indoor environment. This natural flooring material aligns with Perkins & Will’s Living Design principles by contributing to a healthy and holistic workspace that supports employee well-being and productivity. The natural aesthetic of wood fosters a connection to nature, creating spaces that are inspiring and conducive to a resilient, sustainable work environment.
Wood flooring is a distinguished choice for commercial spaces, combining timeless elegance with practical benefits. Its natural beauty adds sophistication, while its durability withstands high-traffic demands. The smooth surface simplifies maintenance and supports a cleaner, healthier environment, and the wood’s natural insulation enhances energy efficiency, potentially reducing operational costs. Integrating wood flooring balances aesthetic appeal with functional performance, making it a practical investment for lasting impact.
Project Needs: With a history of successful collaborations, Perkins and Will approached their reSAWN specification consultant, trusting our expertise to deliver sustainable flooring that matched their desired aesthetic.
Project Solutions: Perkins and Will prioritized sustainable flooring options and were drawn to the unique character of our European White Oak. After carefully reviewing samples and submittals, they selected a CUSTOM European White Oak product that perfectly aligned with their environmental and design goals.
Project Results: The custom European White Oak flooring met Perkins and Will’s design standards and complemented their office’s overall aesthetic. This collaboration is significant as it demonstrates the exceptional quality of our products, even when used in the offices of renowned architecture firms. We look forward to continuing our partnership on future projects.
