When a thriving creative agency in downtown Los Angeles approached Plantek West for a commercial redesign, they needed more than just a fresh coat of paint—they wanted a space that reflected their brand identity, encouraged collaboration, and improved overall workflow. Here’s how we brought that vision to life.
The Challenge
The client’s office was dated, disjointed, and lacked a cohesive design. The layout did not encourage collaboration, and poor lighting contributed to low energy levels among employees. The space needed a full overhaul to support the company’s dynamic work culture.
Our Design Process
Plantek West started with a comprehensive design consultation to understand the client’s goals, challenges, and aesthetic preferences. We conducted a space utilization audit and proposed a new layout that emphasized flexibility and creativity. Key design features included:
- Open-concept work areas with modular desks
- Glass-partitioned conference rooms for privacy without sacrificing light
- Lounge areas with soft seating to foster informal collaboration
- Integrated technology hubs and smart lighting systems
We used biophilic design principles—incorporating natural materials and greenery—to promote wellness and employee satisfaction.
The Results
The redesigned space now features a fluid, open environment that aligns perfectly with the agency’s creative energy. Natural light floods the office through floor-to-ceiling windows, while acoustic treatments and ergonomic furniture enhance comfort. The transformation improved employee morale and impressed visiting clients.
