Inprela

Inprela Communications needed a space that could do double duty as a dynamic open office for their growing young staff as well as function as a memorable venue for the regular industry gatherings they organize and host. We started by stripping out the previous buildout back to reveal a raw industrial space with the natural strengths of high ceilings, exposed wood structure and brick walls, concrete floors and rather ample natural light. Our task was to introduce a more refined element into the space that capitalized on and was complementary with these qualities.

There were also a handful of artifacts left from the previous space – glazed garage and barn doors - that were available to us and that for reasons of economy and design potential we hoped to incorporate into the new space. The Inprela brand has a lively color palette that we employed judiciously around the space, playing off the neutrals of raw building shell. The salvaged glass overhead doors were reinstalled “inside-out” around the perimeter of a fresh green meeting room to open like the petals of a flower.
