Brightergy
Brightergy, a local energy company, recently opened their two-floor headquarters in downtown Kansas City. Since they'd moved around a little before settling down here (they actually started in a garage in St. Louis), they wanted their new offices to be special.
We made several office furnishings for them. On their main floor, they wanted a unique reception desk. We designed and built an L-shaped desk out of repurposed cottonwood, accented with stippled polycarbonate and wood veneer slats.
They also wanted a stand-out conference table. They gave us some decommissioned solar panels, so we made a huge table with integrated power strips.
Since the space started life as a warehouse and was remodeled as an open floor plan, they needed a little more organization and navigation, so we designed and built several divider walls. To hold the space together, we used the same stippled polycarbonate and wood veneer slats that we used on the reception desk.
Upstairs, Brightergy wanted a small break area that was inviting and easily reorganized. We designed and created a long dining table out of more repurposed cottonwood with a matching bar-height eating table.
To make the space separate without completely closing it off, we designed and built a huge 30-foot accordion wall. Our metal department created an ingenious track and hanging system, as well as the steel frames. We then framed large panels of polycarbonate with cottonwood inside those steel frames. One person can easily store and deploy the wall.
