THE CHALLENGE
To create a fresh, energetic, spacious-feeling suite for an adventurous venture capital group. The space needed to reflect the successful nature of the company without coming across as opulent or frivolous. In addition to helping to define DeNovo's image to their employees, clients and partners, the space needed to foster creative ideas and stimulate productivity.

 
 

THE SOLUTION
The design evolved into a fluid yet organized space with public and private areas that flow easily from one to the next without a sense of separation. Materials are rich, warm and elegant, yet understated, with a hint of Zen. Dark walnut woods paired with brushed aluminum and glass interplaying with color provide drama and contrast. Horizontal, vertical and grid elements imbue the space with a comfortable, timeless quality. With the amount of enclosed space, ensuring the penetration of natural light throughout the space was of prime importance, especially with respect to energy efficiency and workplace quality.
