DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Fingerprint’s vision sessions are interactive and engaging opportunities to reflect on where you are, and paint a vivid picture of where you’re going—and why.

Sleeves rolled up, we’re designing. Our creative process is driven by the phases before it, ensuring we’re accurate and inspired at all times.

Together, we’ll learn about your organization’s culture and ideology, articulate the key drivers of design, and define the critical factors of success. Uniquely for you.

Fingerprint keeps you and your team involved at every level, from in-person creative sessions and bubble diagrams through analysis and technical narratives.

Vision begins to become reality in Design Development. The clear and collaborative work that led us here comes to fruition in this phase, as we develop the analyses, plans, and strategies (and cost estimates!) that pave our path to success.

SAFE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Operations Center

Growing and disjointed teams made SAFE Federal Credit Union in need of a new space to house their administrative and call center teams.

The workplace was carefully considered and spaces for training, internal and external meetings, and collaborating were designed to optimize SAFE’s workflow.

MACH & SITES MEDICAL Office Fit-Out

Connectivity was the biggest goal when designing this office, manufacturing and warehouse space in the orthopedic industry. This new space was an opportunity to support a culture of innovation and bring a newly acquired business into the fold. Blurring the line between old and new businesses, as well as the office and manufacturing space, allows for unprecedented collaboration and access across all office departments and manufacturing teams. As the teams come together, grow, and evolve with the industry, the space will be able to adapt and support the business for many years to come.

BARNES & THORNBURG Office Fit-Out

Law firm Barnes and Thornburg wanted an office that promoted connection and interaction between staff and clients.

Their previous location consisted of mostly private offices with very limited community spaces. To combat this, we designed a 15,000-sf sophisticated but not opulent space featuring glass walls that allow for privacy and visibility, as well as provide access to natural light. Each room features unique LED light fixtures, as well as a curated art collection. A variety of wood ceilings are placed throughout the office, featuring an individual profile while using the same wood tone. To connect the indoors to the outdoors, one of Indiana’s largest green roofs, Skyline Park, is accessed from the office. The office is designed with an intentional sense of community meant to draw people out of their offices and into shared spaces.

STURGES Office Fit-Out

CBRE | Sturges wanted a space that would foster teamwork in an open environment. The office renovation was designed to accommodate on-site staff, as well as hotel space for employees that work remote and are only in the office part-time. The office also functions as a testing lab to inspire their clients and a platform for their many services.

The cafe is the heart of their office.

Located in the center, it accommodates staff break time, lunch hours, and impromptu client meetings. Colors in the finishes, furniture, and graphic installations are inspired by the CBRE | Sturges brand, and they are coordinated to represent their services. Multiple materials, including wood and pops of colors in the furniture, bring energy and lightness to the space.

The space also reflects Aptera’s laidback culture, featuring amenities like comfortable seating spaces, an employee kitchen, and a pool table.
