𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 The Instacart office was meticulously designed to balance beauty and functionality, creating a workspace that inspires and supports employees. With 18-foot-high ceilings and large, exposed wooden beams, the design seamlessly blends modern elements with the warmth and character of natural materials. A spacious mezzanine adds dimension, offering a vantage point over the open floor plan and enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The construction process prioritized preserving the space's striking architectural features, such as the expansive wooden beams, while integrating modern design seamlessly. Crafting this unique office was a rewarding experience, highlighting the importance of thoughtful construction and design in creating environments that are both visually stunning and highly practical.

Storage, space divider, or both? Why view storage as merely functional when it can elevate your entire workspace design? At Heartwork, we know that even in spacious offices, usable square footage can feel limited, while empty (often drab) wall space goes underutilized. That’s why we designed our lockers—all 18” deep and available in 12”, 15”, and 18” width options—to help solve both problems. Our storage solutions double as wall decor, adding both function and style. With 12 exclusive color options, every piece brings inspiration and organization to your team, helping them stay productive in a well-designed space. At Heartwork, storage becomes a tool for shaping the way your team interacts, collaborates, and thrives. #Heartwork #MadeinUSA #modernofficedesign #office #officedesign #officestorage

💎 Every tailored space tells a story - detail by detail. This month, we’re putting our work in the Hyperscience office space under the spotlight: 1. We created a dynamic form that seamlessly integrates into the space, serving as a niche, a rest area, and a collaboration hub 2. We organized the workplaces around the facade for direct access to natural light 3. We gave the general lighting a decorative function, such as the element in active colour, which also serves to guide the walking lines 4. We left the ceilings open to bring the maximum feeling of height and spaciousness 5. We implemented an improvised green wall for a subtle accent in the space with its natural colour 🔻🔻🔻 #archtecture #designindetail #detailbydetail

Not only does it affect how a space looks, but it also influences mood, energy, and productivity. Key Features: • Maximize natural light with open layouts and large windows • Use layered lighting to create both bright, well-lit areas and soft, ambient spaces • Consider adjustable lighting options to meet varying needs throughout the day Read our blog for more info! https://buff.ly/4iEOiYa #Christmas #Countdown #DSPInteriors

Architects and designers... Been thinking about something lately. What if design isn't really what your clients are buying? Sure, they're paying for your expert eye, the perfect layouts, the stunning aesthetics. But what they're really investing in? It's the serenity they'll feel after a long day. The family moments that'll unfold in that kitchen. The stories waiting to be written in every corner. The inspiration that'll strike in that perfectly lit home office. The life they'll actually live in these spaces. #DesignStory #ArchitectureLife #SpacesWithSoul #DesignImpact #InteriorMagic
