CB RICHARD ELLIS

CB Richard Ellis is a global leader in real estate services. Part of their success in the commercial real estate industry was based on thinking innovatively, but acting practically – and providing a rewarding work environment.

We kept this philosophy in mind when we were asked to redesign their Southfield, Michigan office. We wanted to create a look and feel that was dramatic, professional, classic, and sophisticated – attributes that capture the essence and personality of the company. Yet we also wanted it to be approachable, so new clients would not be intimidated or overwhelmed. This was achieved through the use of interior architectural details that included pillars, high contrast limestone flooring, woven leather wall coverings, and a custom-designed conference table.

We also wanted to stay true to their desire for a rewarding work environment, so we maximized their efficiency in workspace while decreasing square footage needed per person. Furthermore, the lounge became the prime location for all employees to enjoy while also functioning as a meeting room.

The result: an office that reflects innovation, sophistication, and comfort for both client and employee.
