Quirky is a company that is fast working and constantly growing. The fast-paced environment creates an adrenaline rush that produces jolts of creativity and products on a daily basis. This company helps turn fantasies into realities every single day. They strive each day to make their environment bigger and better than the last. Their motto is to “get shit done” and they do that with extreme confidence and high potentials.

Problem Statement This local design firm has a staff of very creative and innovative workers who strive to be the best they can on a daily basis. Creativity is a requirement that is generated by stimulating light, color, and sound. Incorporating these stimulations is a requirement. Design the public and private areas that intertwine as a whole but remain individual and personable to each employee. The open workspace should be created with systems furniture for easy reconfiguration, expansion purposes, and constant mobility within the office space. The project budget is not a priority, but meeting the requirements of each room should be first and foremost. General Location and Architectural Information • 1000 Plaza Dr. Schaumburg, IL 4th floor • Total Floor Plan Usable Sq. Ft. Avail: 16,524 sq. ft. • Approximate Sq. Ft. Required for project: approx. 8,000 sq. ft. • Building services include monitored security systems, fiber optics, and high speed internet connection. Codes and Governing Regulations • Occupancy: B – Business • Fire Detection and Suppression: Automatic Sprinkler System • Design the project to comply with the most current edition of the Intl. Bldg. Code IBC, NBC 1993, ADA-ABA 2010 - ADAAG for office spaces.

   This nostalgic office space combines modern with retro. It takes recycling to a whole new level by using old products from previous tenants as inspiration and recycled materials used as a conference table. The high energy red and cool, calming blue creates an elegant purple themed office. Unity is achieved throughout the spacing of the desks by placing and sizing them proportionately. The glass dividers that separate rooms provide a public atmosphere to look through from the outside and also a private enclosure at the same time. By using natural lighting, brick as a natural insulator, and reclaimed wood as the flooring this sustainable and growing business continues to thrive and expand exponentially.          

 1. Justifications for Program/Client Requirements The client’s requirements were taken into full consideration. Even with the minor changes made, the client‘s requirements were fulfilled. 2. Justifications for Concept/Inspiration/Aesthetic Wall covering and flooring material was left from the previous tenant. Items that were left in the space are used as inspiration for current tenants. 3. Justifications for Space Plan/Egreen/Wayfinding cues from space Total square footage is 7,684sq. ft. There are 2 exits are placed proportionally from each other so that each tenant has an accessible exit. Office doors do not obscure the path of egress. 4. Justifications for Environmental Design/LEED-CI requirements. The building focuses on natural lighting as much as possible. The layout of the building is designed for current and future tenants. This is helpful so that construction cost is reduced to a minimal amount. 5. Justifications for ADA/Barrier-free solutions The corridors are at least 5’ wide and each turnaround is 5’. The desks and chairs for each office space are designed to help the employee be free in the ability to stand or sit whenever he or she pleases. 6. Justifications for Lighting Systems The lighting in open hallways will be high for visibility, but in offices there is an option to dim whenever needed so that the heat from the bulb doesn’t overpower the office. 7. Justifications for Ceiling Systems The ceilings in every part of the office space are acoustical. That way no one ever feels like they’re yelling. 8. Justifications for Security Issues Since Quirky is a worldwide organization there are cameras that signal to other parts of the world, however the cameras are also recording what goes on in the office. The doors to the reception area are automatic. However, the doors on the opposite side of the building require a keycard for entrance. When there is no receptionist at the table there is a call button because the doors will be locked. 9. Justifications for Floor Selections The flooring is reclaimed wood and terrazzo. 10. Justifications for Material/Finish Selections The finish selections are left over from the previous tenant. It gives it a nostalgic feel. 11. Justifications for Energy Management

To preserve energy in lighting, there will only be emergency lights on when tenants are not present in building. 12. Justifications for Acoustic Considerations Acoustical panels will be placed throughout the entire office space. Since the flooring is wood and the walls are brick noise will bounce a little bit, so panels are necessary. 13. Innovation of Design The best part about this office space is that anyone can use it, feel inspired, and get work done. There are private offices, touchdown spaces, a large break room, and several work spaces for anyone to use at any time.                                

PREPARATION A.

Prepare substrate to receive coating in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.

Substrate shall be free of dirt, waxes, curing agents, and other foreign materials.

Objectionable substrate irregularities that will transmit through coating system shall be removed.

Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

Samples of material delivered to Project will be taken, identified, sealed, and certified in the presence of Contractor. 2. Owner may direct Contractor to stop painting if test results show material being used does not comply with specified requirements. Contractor shall remove noncomplying paint from Project site, pay for testing, and repaint surfaces previously coated with the noncomplying paint. If necessary, Contractor may be required to remove noncomplying paint from previously painted surfaces if, on repainting with specified paint, the two coatings are incompatible.

CLEANING A.

3.6

Use only the type of thinners approved by manufacturer and only within recommended limits. Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to simplify identification of each coat when multiple coats of same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color of the finish coat, but provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.

After completing painting, clean glass and paint-spattered surfaces. Remove spattered paint by washing and scraping without scratching or damaging adjacent finished surfaces.

PROTECTION A.

Protect work of other trades, whether being painted or not, against damage from painting. Correct damage by cleaning, repairing or replacing, and repainting, as approved by Architect.

Provide "Wet Paint" signs to protect newly painted finishes. After completing painting

09 91 00-5

operations, remove temporary protective wrappings provided by others to protect their work. C.
