Featured Projects

Dillon Consulting

Dillon Consulting chose to engage POI with the goal of increasing business and end-user flexibility by maximizing choice and control for employees while fostering greater social interaction. The interior designer effectively updated an older space in the same building, and infused colour to deliver an airy modern feel.

The move away from high panels to a bright open workspace was intended to shift the organizational culture. POI was able to retain and support the focus requirements of the engineers with standing height layout surfaces which acted as workstation dividers. The new space featured conference rooms, a work cafe, meeting rooms, and an open collaboration area.

Eckler

Eckler moved out of an older building to a more progressive space with a smaller footprint. They engaged POI and an interior designer with the intent to drive greater collaboration while keeping employees on two floors. That meant reducing panel heights and limiting the number of private offices which dominated their previous workspace.

The new space reduced private offices by 50% and panel heights fell from 66 to 48 inches high. Offices now were located in the interior while open workspaces populated the perimeter, taking advantage of the many windows and allowing for greater natural sunlight to brighten up the space.
