Our new storefront office space.
We have moved!
January 6, 2013 marked the first day that Hatch Interior Design operated out of our new office and we are loving it. The location is terrific, the Cannery Lofts in the cultural district of Kelowna and a storefront space with a ton of exposure.
Our meeting table and workstations. The custom carrels turned out great and effectively provide some separation between our workstations.
We definitely tested our ability to work with a small space for our project; only 350 sq.ft. of office space, and that includes an accessible washroom. For us there were three main concerns to address during the design process: aesthetics, functionality and acoustics.
For anyone who visited our exhibit at IDSwest, or who has seen the pictures we posted, you will notice that some of what we did there influenced or even became a part of what we did here. Just as our mandate for IDS was to brand ourselves, we set out to do it on a somewhat larger scale in our new office. We used our colours in a number of different materials including paint, fabric wrapped panels and task chairs. At Hatch we like to do things a little differently and wanted our space to reflect this.
Our new Zip chairs by All Seating with custom fabric in Hatch colours.
Custom fabric wrapped carrels were designed and built to allow for separation between workstations and to help with acoustics. The boardroom table was custom built using the already reclaimed wood that was existing as wall paneling in the space; yes, that’s right, double reclaimed. While our sign is still to come, the yellow feature wall has been wrapped with chicken wire creatively enforcing our brand. We have introduced the Plumen bulb in the multi-pendant light fixture, we love these bulbs!
Our custom multi-pendant fixture complete with Plumen bulbs. We have a full wall of sample storage neatly hidden behind large sliding glass doors.
There is still a lot to do, but the majority of the project is complete and we are very comfortably (except for the minor technical issue here and there) working in our new commercial space. If you are in the neighbourhood make sure you stop in to say ‘hi!’.
