Elwood Staffing Headquarters

Elwood Staffing Headquarters

Hitchcock Design Group assisted the office of Louis Joyner to design an addition to the Elwood Staffing corporate headquarters in Columbus, Indiana. The new design required transitioning a well-established, residentially-scaled landscape into one with strong geometry and modern materials to support the new building. Some of the plant species used in the original design were incorporated to provide a connection between the old and the new.

The owners of Elwood Staffing wished to create a courtyard space for staff to enjoy during lunch or periodic breaks throughout the day. Three water features representing the three Elwood brothers currently leading the company were incorporated into the courtyard design to help soften and cool the south facing courtyard, and provide white noise against the adjacent traffic.
