Why hire a janitorial cleaning service? B
usinesses hire janitorial cleaning services for various reasons. Maybe it’s the lack of time, limited resources, or the inability to ensure the job gets done. Regardless of the reason, outsourcing cleaning services has become an excellent investment for many businesses. If you are thinking of hiring a janitorial cleaning service, here are some of the benefits you will want to consider:
and diseases everywhere from one person to another. It increases employee absenteeism. Hiring a janitorial company will ensure thorough and routine cleaning and disinfecting in your office.
Green Cleaning Approach Several businesses are nowadays inclined toward a more environmentally friendly arrangement. A professional janitorial cleaning service will employ safer “green cleaning” products to prevent toxins from

What is green cleaning? Green cleaning has many definitions, but its main goal is to use solutions and methods that keep us and our environment healthy.
How does green cleaning EHQH´W RXU HQYLURQPHQW" The green cleaning movement encourages people to live in a more environmentally friendly way. Going green has positive side effects for the environment, including cleaner water, cleaner air, preserving natural resources, and reducing the impact of global warming. Reducing chemical usage, cleaning with sustainable products, and saving plastic bottles for reuse are among the simple ways to protect our environment. These easy tactics can start right at home 6
or in your office.
Five easy steps to clean green
1
Declutter. Take a look around to see what bits and bobs you think are obsolete, reusable or able to pass along to a friend. Plastic containers, bottles, clothes, equipment, and other knickknacks can always be helpful to others.
2
The Basics. Environmentally friendly products, microfiber cloths, mops, dusters, and Hepa-filtered vacuums are all basic tools to help kick-start your green cleaning movement. Remember, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying commercial green equipment or products. These are our personal preferences because there’s no mixing or measuring, and they do a great job with less “elbow grease.” However, there are also multiple household remedies that work safely.

Green Cleaning Products Lemon juice: disinfects and easily degreases White vinegar: loosens dirt and disinfects
Castile soap: foaming all-purpose cleaner Olive oil: great for polishing wood and ridding surface dirt Baking soda: effective scrubber reacts with vinegar and lemon Washing soda: effective stain remover and the perfect laundry supplement

Bottle Bank. Reuse your plastic bottles whenever possible. This isn’t just for cleaning; reuse all those take-out containers and plastic shopping bags.

Meeting Demand for Downsizing Subdivisions Prove a Sell-Out for Washington Properties
W
hen you have a waiting list of potential tenants you know you’re doing something right. For the last three years, Washington Properties has been subdividing the various floors of 22 Church Street, Phase 2 of the Washington Mall, and the latest to be completed – and already fully let – is the third floor. “We look at the requests that we have for office space and build them to suit the needs of tenants on our waiting list. Other potential tenants we learn about from talking to real estate agents, who tell us what they are looking for,” explains Paul Slaughter, General Manager of Washington Properties (Bermuda) Limited. It seems there are two trends driving the demand for smaller office space. Firstly, Slaughter says “a lot of companies are downsizing and outsourcing. These days an international company only has people in Bermuda who need to be here,” =SYV 4ǽGI
and secondly, there is increased demand from small, local business. For example, new tenants on the third floor include a number of small health and wellness related companies such as a psychologist, a yoga and Pilates instructor and an organic spa company, as well as a web design and marketing company. What was a large 7,000 square foot office with a single tenant is now 7 offices ranging from 250 square feet up to 2,500 square feet. The largest, end of corridor office, has huge windows overlooking City Hall, with views as far as Government House, and despite being
above Church Street, is very quiet. “Tenants want space that’s ready to move into,” continues Slaughter. “They don’t want to do the design or construction work.” The separation between tenant spaces is double walled and the offices all have acoustic ceiling tiles. There are new, modern and accessible bathrooms and a separate shower room on every floor and Slaughter says the building owners are investing heavily in new technology and energy efficiency for the property. “We recently replaced the old chiller

plant for the air-conditioning and we now use a state of the art VRV, (Variable Refrigerant Volume) which allows greater flexibility for tenants operating their own hours and comfort levels. It has also significantly reduced our electricity consumption.� Each office area now has its own, individual thermostat. He adds that Washington Properties has also installed solar panels on one of the roofs and LED lighting and occupancy sensors in all the common areas. “From an energy management perspective, we have a central management software to control operating hours of air conditioning and common area lighting.� Separately, he says, the use of WiFi has reduced the costs of fitting out a new office, with no expensive cabling required, and has the added advantage of allowing more flexibility within the office space. Tenants also benefit from an out of hours card access system and an on-site maintenance team. The higher number of smaller tenants has created more management and administrative work, admits Slaughter but, he says they’ve managed to absorb the workload themselves and emphasises that “it’s a formula that works. As we complete a floor it gets rented quickly. We’re seeing an improvement in occupancy and rental returns.�

playroom for the kids, sports on the TV, a bar, and a spectacular private VIP room? Located in Dockyard, Diamonds International recently expanded into an area previously used by Team
Oracle during the America’s Cup. Keen Ltd. was selected to create the enlarged, showpiece jewellery store. Kevin Medeiros, project manager at Keen, says, “The new part of the store was formerly a rugged industrial space

that we have completely transformed. Now it’s an ultramodern store, while retaining many of the historic aspects of the Dockyard building, such as the exposed wood-beam ceilings.” To accomplish that look, Mr. Medeiros says, “We had to create all the interior walls and all the finishes.” In the VIP lounge, special fur-lined wallpaper was used; it’s also one of the only rooms that does not have the exposed beams. Mr. Medeiros says one of the significant challenges of this project was, “There were things we were limited in doing structurally because the building is 12
so old. We could not touch the exterior walls at all because it is a protected building.” Keen has a good working relationship with Diamonds International, as they partnered when creating the original store. When Diamonds International wished to expand, Keen was tasked with joining the two spaces seamlessly together. Mr. Medeiros says the expanded store means double the floor space to showcase the jewellery. “The most satisfying part of the project was completion,” Mr Medeiros says. “We did a very good job. The whole team – the
Diamond International staff and us – went above and beyond to make sure it was open for cruise ship season in 2019.” Oren Shrem, general manager of Diamonds International, says one of his primary goals in doing the renovations was “to keep the ceiling exposed. The wooden beams of the old building are magnificent. I also wanted areas where the (limestone block) walls were exposed as well. It was a vision of trying to keep the old but add the new.” The inside walls are mostly white to help give a clean look to the jewellery, except for the section that showcases Diamond International’s own signature =SYV 4ǽGI

Crown of Light collection. That area is designed using the brand colours of purple and gold. The entire showroom floor has creamcoloured tiles. Mr. Shrem says, “Commercially, we wanted to create a one-stop shop for jewellery.” Included in that is a kid’s room with a brightly coloured floor, a wall that can be painted on, a jungle theme with monkeys and a lion, and a Sony PlayStation. “If you’ve ever tried shopping with a family, you know it’s nearly impossible, so we offer to entertain the kids,” explains Mr. Shrem. “We also have a =SYV 4ǽGI
VIP lounge and a bar. We wanted to provide customers with an experience that will make them say ‘Wow! What a place! What great service! We want to let customers feel they are important, no matter how much they spend – great or small – we just want them all to feel appreciated.” With sports on the TV and drinks available from the bar, men are encouraged to let their wives and partners browse the women’s jewellery cases at leisure. The bar has a modern design with a large-screen TV as a centerpeice of the glass liquor cabinet. Six orange stools wrap around the L-shaped glass, stainless-steel, and neon-light bar. The VIP lounge is spacious with an eye-catching crystal chandelier. There are several areas within the lounge where people can sit, have a cocktail, and decide on jewellery purchases. The walls are adorned with glass artwork. Mr. Shrem says people “Can sit and relax away from the crowd and enjoy a little more privacy.” “Overall, I am very happy with how it looks,” adds Mr. Shrem. “It is probably one
of the best-looking stores in the company and in Bermuda. In fact, you won’t find many jewellery stores as large and attractive as this anywhere in the world. I like the high ceilings and that we kept the wooden beams. I like the functionality of the bar and the kids’ room. It also provides the right amount of space to display our extensive range of jewellery.”

office building. When Herman Tucker, President and Chairman of Bermuda Security Group (BSG), started working on the designs for 1 Woodbourne Avenue – the former nursery school property he bought back in 2012 – he turned down
the multi-level building options: “I asked them to design something that closer resembled a house, but able to accommodate a business,” he says. “We maintained as much green space as possible. We have young fruit trees and a little area where staff can relax.

The instruction was design something traditional, Bermudian.” The attractive light blue ‘home-style’ office that sits on three quarters of an acre, is just that, but with some differences because it doubles up as a demonstration of the security services and systems BSG can provide. There are subtle state of the art CCTV cameras around the entire building, solar lighting that comes on automatically at night, a two-story former garage at the back which houses the technicians, ‘hidden’ fire extinguishers and a huge generator with built-in silencer equipment, which supports BSG’s 24/7
=SYV 4ǽGI
operations in the event of a power cut. “We have central monitoring equipment that monitors peoples alarms, so if we lose power, we need to keep things working,” explains Richard Pitcher, Vice President, Projects and Business Development. BSG also provides ‘Life Safety’, which is a medical alert system, making it particularly important to have 24/7 power under all circumstances. “When you come in you want to see, feel and touch the security measures we put in place,” continues Tucker. “The front gate is electronically controlled; we have 12 cameras on the exterior of
the building. In our old office we had safety features, but we have been able to incorporate newer technology into our new building.” While there is a sales office inside, which also displays a variety of security systems the company has available, you can also buy what you see being used on a day-to-day basis. Many of the internal doors for example have access control, but it has been built into the door. “Each one of these doors has a different type of access control, done purposefully to show off the new types of hardware” explains Sherry Weitz, Senior Interior Designer at Entasis Architecture. “All the doors are egress free so anyone can get out without having to press a button, but you can’t get in. To get in, you need, for example a key fob.” By using this system, you avoid having to have a box installed next to the door and you don’t need hardware to get out of an office. “It’s very sleek and the client saves money on infrastructure because it’s wireless,” she adds. The LAN (local-area network) room also houses the same fire suppression system BSG offers its clients, which emits foam instead of water to preserve the room’s contents. 17
SUPERIOR INTERIORS
Tucker made the decision to go ahead with the renovation in 2017 and the project took 18 months from start to finish. “We made a conscious decision to invest in the company, our people, and Bermuda,” he says. The company move also happened to coincide with BSG’s 50th anniversary. Prior to the move, the company was based at 42 King Street, across from the Salvation Army. “It was a very old building,” continues Tucker. “Space was an issue and the condition of the building was an issue. Although there’s a lot of empty office space in this city, not a lot has adequate parking for our needs. We operate about 30 commercial vehicles.
18
“This was one of the attractions with the property. Space to create enough parking for employees, clients and all our commercial vehicles.” All the company’s employees are able to park for free. Like the outside of the building, the inside is modern, but also full of traditional features. There is state of the art technology and sleek, new furniture and fittings, but the first thing you see when you walk in, is an enormous oldfashioned safe. It sits next to the reception desk for decorative purposes only but in a world of increasingly subtle security systems, it is an effective reminder of the company’s purpose. Some of the walls are also decorated
with historic, black and white photographs of Bermuda, which are from Tucker’s own collection and are, he says, “meaningful pieces that reflect my interests.” The interior fit-out was overseen by Weitz who explains that she wanted to give BSG “something new, but timeless. The company was going from an old, cramped facility to a great new space.” “It was important to create a clean office space so it looks very slick to the eye,” adds Pitcher. “We want staff to feel energised. We wanted great working areas that were durable, appealing and comfortable.” To accommodate these needs, Weitz says she made the multi-purpose areas such the staff kitchen area livelier and less business like to create a “sense of community as opposed to going into somebody’s private office.

benches throughout the grounds should people want to eat outside. While there are a number of different rooms and working areas throughout the building, many of which house the various different functions of the business, Weitz ensured a light and open feeling throughout. Many large windows let in the natural light and light colours have been used for the floors and walls, as well as glass for some of the private offices. A “multipurpose room� has been
incorporated for both training and social purposes. Separately and slightly hidden away is a large, secure, high-density filing area and another large and secure room which houses all the inventory. The outdoor, communal and social aspects of the building were a priority, because it is these that really set it apart from more traditional offices. “As a group, staff can sit down and break bread together. It allows people to connect,� says Pitcher of the communal spaces. “The outside space

benefits. In the newly renovated offices of OIL & OCIL therefore, there are now two sound-proof ‘phone booths’, with charging and USB ports, made using around 1,000 recycled plastic
bottles, and this is just one of the many creative features in the company’s newly renovated 19,000 square foot office space on Bermudiana Road. OIL & OCIL moved into what =SYV 4ǽGI

had been XL’s offices 10 years ago and on renewing their lease decided it was time to make the space their own. “They wanted a full refresh,” says Darcy Robertson, Design Director of Commercial Interiors Group (CIG) who =SYV 4ǽGI
worked with Gail Miller, Vice President of HR & Administration on the project. “When they moved into this space, it was basically what XL vacated – the work stations, carpet, lighting, paint colours,” explains Robertson who also said that the
previous finishes, furnishings and layout had all been quite dark, and when you arrived into the office from the elevator, you were greeted by a lobby wall with glass doors. “The brief was to open up the space and 21

gain footprint because of expanding staff,” adds Miller. “We wanted to maximise our footprint and open the space without compromising the look and feel of a professional office. We wanted to the new space to be light, bright along with improved flow.” “The reception area was in a very dark location,” Robertson continues. “We completely opened up the whole reception space. We took out walls, inserted a glass wall and created a work café beyond.” Now when you step off the elevator visitors are greeted by a light and bright reception area with seating and wide corridors which 22
lead you to the boardroom and other large meeting rooms, via a beverage area where you can help yourself to coffee, tea and cold drinks. This new layout also separates the main meeting rooms from the staff areas, creating more privacy and security for the latter. Dual-purpose and collaboration spaces are an important part of the new interior design and nowhere is this better displayed than in the new work café, which houses not just a large, modern state-of-the-art office kitchen, but also banquette pods, one of the
aforementioned phone booths and barstyle seating. It has all been specifically designed so it can be used not just over lunchtime, but also to have a coffee away from your desk or for casual meetings. Separately, what looks like a glass wall separating the café from the reception area, are actually pivot doors so the space can open out for social occasions and improved flow. When closed however, the private client area on the other side still benefits from the light. “We wanted an expanded but functional staff café,” continues Miller. “We are a social group, and the upgraded staff café allows us to have informal meetings and functions in this space now.” With dual purpose in mind, Robertson also added bench seating along the length of the window side of the long boardroom, which now provides comfort for those who need to sit in on board meetings, and extra seating space for large staff meetings. Oblong light fixtures on the walls of this room not only provide extra light, but the shape matches those of the table, carpet and light border around the carpet for added aesthetic interest and a large Sheilagh Head painting of Hamilton Harbour decorates one end, complemented at the other end by three Dean Walker charcoal pieces. These are just a few of a number of impressive =SYV 4ǽGI
SUPERIOR INTERIORS finishes, everyone thought they were new. When we’re doing projects we try to reuse as much as possible and still give it a new fresh look.� As another sustainable measure, all the lighting on the floor is now LED. Miller says that staff particularly like the openness of the new office space. “You can see from one end of the floor to another,� she says. “Everybody loves it. It’s significantly lighter and brighter. And last but not least, we completed the project under budget and on time!�
Key Contractors • Abbott Decorating Contractors Bermudian artworks that decorate the office space and have been in OIL’s collection for a number of years. Creating generally lighter and brighter spaces was a priority for Robertson and Miller and this has been achieved in a variety of different ways. The work panels separating staff workstations were lowered and lightened to make the most of the natural light coming in from the huge windows and some interior walls were removed to allow for enlarged open plan work areas. The rice paper glass on the private offices was replaced with clear glass that now only have little vision strips. This allows full natural light beyond the office into the open work areas beyond, explains Robertson, the vision strips are a safety measure so you don’t walk into them. “As long as you have acoustic privacy, you don’t necessarily need visual privacy,â€? he says. The carpet was also refreshed and light, bright colours have been used on the walls and for chair fabrics. Most of the wood trim and framing throughout the office has been removed or painted over and all the filing cabinets were relocated to an off-site space. Ms. Miller says her favourite aspect of the new dĂŠcor is the colour palette because not only does it work well with the existing artwork, but the blues and turquoise they have used make it feel “like you’re bringing the outside, in.â€? Robertson explains that sustainability, particularly reusing and recycling, played a big part in the renovation. Wherever possible, he used existing pieces, from replacing fabrics and trim instead of =SYV 4Ç˝GI
buying completely new furniture to using the “carcass� of the old kitchen. “Even in the kitchen we changed the fronts out to give it a new look because two thirds of the cost is hidden behind the door, so why rip it out? We had to do some rejigging, but everything’s possible with the right contractors.� “The work surfaces and stations are the same, but because we changed all the

closed in. Openness was a key point because the staff felt somewhat confined in their last space.” Having worked with Elementum before, Ms. Bedell says, “They knew what they wanted, so shopping for space was our biggest challenge.

that would achieve the client’s needs. When we reviewed this 10,000-sq.-ft space in Cumberland House, we thought it would give us the blank slate we needed, but it first needed to be completely gutted.� Ms. Bedell says the landlords at Cumberland House worked with Elementum to update the facilities, such as upgrading the HVAC system as well as making other improvements. “It was an undertaking for the building owners as well, but there is a good fit between landlord and tenant,� Ms. Bedell adds. “There were some challenges – there always is, of course. Ideally, we had hoped to have a higher ceiling; however, once we removed all the existing fixtures and fittings to concrete floor and slab, we were able to tweak a few ceiling details, allowing the new open design; with
curved bulkheads and glass, we were able to emphasise the openness of the space without the ceiling height being an issue. “When stepping off the elevator into Elementum’s new home, guests see the reception area through glass doors. They get a visually appealing simple, clean view of the area inviting them into the space. “The use of blue tones throughout the space, taken from Elementum’s corporate colour palette, are married with warm walnut custom millwork contrasted with the use of the Interface LVT wood plank floor, and the use of reclaimed Chicago brick on a curved feature wall provides a warm homey feeling to this office space. “Each workstation is an electronic sit-stand desk, providing ergonomics that gives staff the choice to sit =SYV 4Ç˝GI

or stand while working and the option to change posture throughout the workday. The use of a higher privacypartition provides privacy as well as helps with acoustics. Each work station also has personal storage units for personal items,” Ms. Bedell says. There is a small and a large boardroom, both bathed in natural light with large windows allowing picturesque views of Hamilton as well as the harbor. These meeting rooms have lightly frosted glass to allow light from the outside through to the rest of the office and also gives a measure of privacy to those in meetings. The main boardroom features two double TVs, which can be watched comfortably no matter where you sit. A large walnut boardroom table gives a welcoming, comfortable warmth to the room. Whiteboards are mounted on the walls to allow for sharing of big ideas. The kitchen picks up the company colour palette with the glass tile backsplash set against the quartz countertop and white cabinets. =SYV 4ǽGI
A new shower room was installed with a large glass walk-in shower, neutral porcelain tile resembling natural marble, and a wall-hung dark wood vanity with white quartz countertops. This was a facility the staff requested. They also have access to the newly created gym at Cumberland House. A wellness room has a large comfortable chair with a linear blue pattern, plus there is a small kitchenette where staff can take personal calls or when they require privacy. The use of
deep blue wall covering, white cabinets, quartz counter tops, and glass backsplash make this area a calm, quiet area to escape and recharge. Private offices ring the outside of the floor space, each office benefiting from maximum natural light. Paul Barker, principal and portfolio manager at Elementum, enthused, “We are very excited about the new space and looking forward to having room to grow along with our great landlord partners Park Properties Limited and City Centre Properties.” His colleague Nick Jagoda adds, “Our design firm Commercial Interiors Group, our general contractor, Ocean Interiors, and all of the suppliers and contractors that have worked with us on this project have made the process as easy as can be expected, and we are very happy with the results.” Mark Orchard, speaking on behalf of the owners of Cumberland House, says, “We are excited to welcome Elementum to our roster of tenants. Cumberland House continues to attract and retain a strong mix of business clients with its reasonable rental rates, superior management services, and world-class amenities, including a new fitness center, which is for the exclusive use of our building tenants.”

development The former Bermuda Forwarders building undergoes a remarkable transformation
M
ichael and Lisa Richold have transformed Ashley House into a modern retail and commercial space housing a wide range of businesses.
Initially, it was their intention to take the old Bermuda Forwarders building and create rental storage units. However, as work began, the opportunity presented itself to go in a different direction. This meant a lot more time and work would be needed, but the end result has been worth it. Ashley House, which is named after Michael and Lisa’s daughter, required a redesign of the front entrance to make it appealing to not only the tenants but also their potential customers. A mahogany door with PVC windows and mahogany trim, along with an attractively furnished lobby, were added. There are two businesses on the ground floor, a busy shipping company, BWS/ BOSS Ltd, and the custom framing specialists, Frameworks Ltd., recently relocated here from its former Paget location. An elegant mahogany and wrought-iron staircase leads upstairs to an interior design showroom, Sash and Trim, on the first floor and then to Health Infusion Bermuda Ltd, a holistic wellness center on the second floor. Behind the concrete front entrance of Ashley House is a large galvanized steel building, which was a complete rebuild in the renovation. The area on the south side is largely occupied by BWS/BOSS Ltd, where it has its bonded warehouse and a custom-built loading platform where

t’s always been one of the chicest bars and restaurants on Front Street with its interesting décor distinguishing it from its competitors. But, after a refit lasting several months, designed by Michael Emery, the principal of Entasis, and Sherry Weitz, Entasis’ senior interior designer, there has been a dramatic change from the old Port O Call aesthetic with the addition of strong clean lines, a simplified colour story, and the use of texture in seating and wall treatments. Use of full-height metal screens as 30
decorative partitions have allowed the natural light to filter into the space and enhance the visual interest. The choice of lighting is also on-trend and uses several different fixtures to create a division of space as well as to give some ceiling interest. It meant pretty much destroying everything that previously existed – gutting both floors and then rebuilding – and the result, as you walk into the bar area, is one of light and space, with new, higher tables and chairs, in greys and =SYV 4ǽGI

A large pivot door now separates the bar from the restaurant – a good addition that not only can keep noise from the bar seeping through to diners but which also provides a greater sense of privacy and intimacy.
