The definition of successful design, regardless of the project scale, extends beyond creating visually stimulating design solutions. BOKA Powell’s ability to deliver a wide variety of domestic and international projects resides in our commitment to respond effectively to diverse budget, schedule, and efficiency goals, while exceeding our clients’ expectations for design excellence.

Each team is led by a Principal who maintains a hands-on leadership role throughout the duration of each project, affording our clients access to the programming, design and project management systems that we have refined over more than 40 years of practice.

DESIGN

Great design solutions often spring from the collaborative discussion of multiple design options between the design team, the client and consultants. We compare and review these options, and through a process of deletion and selection, synthesize the solutions to meet our clients’ needs. A wide range of tools are utilized to communicate design ideas, including physical models, hand sketches, 3D renderings and virtual fly-throughs. By involving the entire project team, we achieve our goals of creating consensus and minimizing road blocks.

COMMUNICATION

BOKA Powell utilizes an effective communication style that brings order to the multiple ways team members interface by supporting tools they use. ,Our online management of project information – including meeting notes, design presentations and construction documents – allows the client and consultant team to have continuous, yet controlled access for review, mark-up and group discussion. Our pioneering use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has further enhanced the ability of the consultant team to coordinate complex building systems and discover cost-saving solutions.

INNOVATION

Recognized throughout our industry for our ingenuity and practicality, we carefully evaluate new technology in building design and construction, including integrated project delivery and Building Information Modeling (BIM), evolutions in construction systems, new materials, advances in under-floor air distribution and MEP systems, and progressive improvements in the technical and cost performance of building systems and materials. Our philosophy is to safeguard the interests of our clients by thoroughly evaluating the track record of any new concepts and materials prior to proposing their use on a project.

SUSTAINABILITY

BOKA Powell is committed to creating respectful, sustainable design solutions. The main objectives of our green design approach are to minimize the wasteful expense of energy, water and raw materials, and mitigate environmental degradation caused by materials and systems throughout their life cycle, and beyond. We work to achieve these goals as a matter of course throughout all of our projects, striving where possible to specify materials and systems that have an environmental benefit. When sustainability is a stated goal of the client, our LEED®accredited design teams bring the ability to achieve the highest standards up to LEED Platinum certification.

IntelliCentrics

SERVICES PROVIDED Interior Design Workplace Strategy

PROJECT SIZE

31,331 SF

Influenced by the Chinese elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, IntelliCentrics’ new headquarters blends natural materials, sculptural lighting features, and curved forms to evoke a sense of balance, harmony, and wellness. IntelliCentrics’ vision is to build “a community of professionals, patients, their families and facilities, working together to achieve a safe and secure healthcare experience.” The company’s name and logo are derived from “intelligence” and the notion of “concentric circles” forming a supportive network. In plan, the 31,331 square-foot headquarters is organized around a series of circles that radiate like ripples. An infinite circulation loop anchors the space and guides users on a journey beginning at the elevator lobby and arrival experience — complete with coffee bar and lounge area— and flowing into a flexible training room and board room, open and private offices, conference and huddle spaces, and an expansive, naturally illuminated break room. Ceiling details and contrasting flooring material, including stained concrete, carpet, and

tile, reinforce the circular pattern. Throughout, users connect with the natural elements wood, fire, earth, metal, and water through an approach called biophilic design. The extensive use of warm wood tones and reclaimed timber, stone, plant materials, and living walls has been found to trigger a psychological and physiological response that reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves one’s sense of well-being. Democracy of daylight is achieved by locating hard wall offices toward the core of the building, as well as through passive strategies like open-to-structure ceilings in open office areas that infuse daylight into the core of the building. An infinity-shaped flexible furniture solution outlines a collaboration zone that connects two sides of the open office area. On the opposite side of the office, cove lighting traces a curved seating area that opens onto an executive bar area outside the C-Suite offices.

IntelliCentrics’ space encompasses the entire top floor of Lakeside Center, a new 120,000 SF commercial office building in Flower Mound, Texas, also designed by BOKA Powell.

Independence Title is a 4,600 SF suite in the Kimball Office Building in Southlake, Texas. The office is positioned on the ground floor lobby with vertical windows that accentuate the height of the space. Through the windows you start to see an industrial living room style design.

In the tenant space, the same open book theme is carried through the glass fronted offices, open floor plan and exposed structure ceiling.

Located on the ground floor of a commercial office building, the design team was challenged to make the most of high 12’-0” ceilings and dramatic lighting to bring openness and airiness to this elegant, contemporary environment.

Occupying the 4th floor and portions of the 6th floor, BOKA Powell provided complete interior design services for the modern, innovative workplace. The design is inspired by both Stream’s youthful, high energy and its corporate leaders’ passion for the outdoors. With an organic, flowing palette referencing earth, sky and water, BOKA Powell selected traditional materials rendered in a modern, sophisticated style reflective of the firm’s forward-thinking stance in the real estate market. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide framed views and showcase downtown landmarks below, including the Dallas Arts District and Klyde Warren Park. The

core is wrapped in rich wood evocative of a massive tree trunk that lends heartiness and warmth. Low and grounded, workstations promote collaboration and mentorship among employees, key to Stream’s horizontal corporate culture. The office is divided into quadrants rippling outward from the elevator lobby. An ideal venue for corporate events and meetings, the flexible lobby area serves as a reception and prefunction area and spills into adjacent conference rooms that expand to host large gatherings of a hundred or more.

Kibo wanted a new space that united the team and thus, we created a simple open plan with bench seating so that everyone has a view of the skyline. The rhythm of the plan allows for breaks in the open seating accentuated by ceiling “clouds” that are collaborative zones – in Kibo’s parlance, “The Plaza” and “Think Spaces.” These clouds are painted in Kibo yellow and add a pop of color to the space and are supported by large expanses of white board for spontaneous collaboration. All of the finish materials are locally sourced and used in their raw and natural states to exemplify the journey up the mountain.

Lanyon’s modern loft-style office at 717 N. Harwood is designed to connect people with each other and with technology, in keeping with Lanyon’s slogan, “The Science of Bringing People Together.”

Alternative individual work areas include cushioned cubbies with storage underneath, walking desks with built-in treadmills below, and a variety of informal huddle rooms for team meetings. Throughout, walls are painted with a dry-erasable coating, allowing employees to sketch out ideas in an instant. An interlocking hexagon motif in the floor tiles and ceiling cloud design is reminiscent of the way Lanyon’s teams connect and collaborate. Sustainability was central to finish selection, which include countertops made from blue Skyy® vodka bottles. Employees and visitors navigate through the use of color and the erosion of the finished ceiling. The space becomes more raw and open as people advance deeper into the core and closer to meeting rooms, drawing activity toward the center. The raw ceiling is a celebratory nod to the garage-like settings where many tech companies humbly begin.
