Workplace Interiors Places that inspire daily.
Design is the crux of what we do. Throughout the generations, Page has promised, and delivered, design that makes lives better. We believe buildings are important for what they do and for the positive impact they make on individual lives.
That’s why we have a solution-driven project focus that results in life-enhancing buildings and places. Our multidisciplinary services allow complete integration from conceptualization to engineering to interiors and more, resulting in an improved client experience and final product.
We recognize that good talent can be applied to complex projects regardless of industry. And good talent becomes great when it gains experience in a variety of situations. We create crossover teams so that individuals can work on different projects and share their own expertise and insights with other team members. Our collective commitment to visionary design is reflected in our portfolio of successful projects.
Our work spans the globe, from U.S. diplomatic campuses to mission critical facilities in the Middle East to five-star resorts in Africa and beyond. Since Page has multiple offices in the US and affiliates abroad, we have the capability to staff projects onsite as well as set up “follow the sun” workflows to increase efficiency.
While Page is distinguished by our portfolio of successes, we also are distinguished by our full spectrum of architectural and engineering design services. This allows us to provide an integrated “total design” single team approach. Our clients benefit from the highest levels of interdisciplinary coordination, quality control and quick response demanded on today’s cutting-edge projects.
#1 Government AE Firm
Page is ranked the #1 Federal Government Architecture and Engineering Firm by Building Design + Construction, 2022
Organizations face unprecedented challenges in addressing complex social and environmental demands within ever tighter financial constraints. In this new era, timeless workplace designs that promote flexibility, health and well-being, and good stewardship are essential. Page takes an integrated approach to creating quality environments that respond to our clients’ missions, meet the policies and requirements of the Pricing Desk Guide 5th Edition, and foster connection among employees.
Our integrated team of architects, engineers, interiors, and technology experts are students of human behavior. We’re constantly digging deep into the research, looking for why spaces function the way they do and why teams work the way they work. We take that research and tailor solutions to our clients’ needs. By working hand-in-hand, we can make decisions that offer smoother workflow, occupant safety and well-being, superior building and technology infrastructure, beautiful and durable spaces, and improved cost savings. This results in better performance and better design—nimble workplace environments that help clients work smart, stay healthy, and manage resources.
Tenant Access & Security
Page is a leading designer of secure work environments in response to a wide range of critical operations situations. Our team has extensive experience meeting federal security requirements, including physical secuirty such as FEBR, blast, stand-off, and chemical-biological threat mitigation as well as information technology security and accredited Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs).
We have inserted specialized secure office and tenant space into larger multi-user buildings, incuding security updates that can be inserted and removed without distrupting building fabric or infrastructure. In a dynamic field where design criteria are updated on a regular basis to respond to current events, our architects and engineers have been leaders in developing sensitive and cost-effective approaches without compromising our clients’ design objectives.
Lobby
The design of an agency’s lobby or reception space creates a lasting first impression. It should embody the agency’s mission and create an appropriate impression. Whether the main building entrance arrival lobby or a dedicated suite foyer, it is space where visitors, employees and users often have the time to observe and absorb the environment around them. And the lobby and entrace spaces also often incorporate important functions elements such as security vestibles, elevator bays, and circulation corridors, all of which need to reflect the right mix of design and function.
Formal Collaboration
Formal collaboration spaces are an integral component in workplace design. As private offices move towards either a smaller footprint or even an open area format, having the right size and quantity of formal meeting space is critical to creating a great workspace. Integrated technology and room flexibility are both key components to assuring maximum use with a multitude of functions.
Informal Collaboration
The advent of technology and social media has given birth to a spirit of universal collaboration. We live in a world that relies on collective problem-solving which speeds up innovation and productivity. Collaboration spaces encourage teams to work across silos. While individual spaces are shrinking in size, these are usually offset with neighborhood meeting zones. These teaming areas are located throughout the floors with access to advanced collaboration devices, conferencing and information-sharing technology.
Linkage
The spaces in between here and there provide connections between people as well as places. Corridors become impromptu meeting rooms, a walk way with views to outside and ample daylight provides a break from work at the desk to take a personal cell phone call. Through visual cues and skillful planning, these spaces reinforce the visual identity of a company, while orienting users in the larger context of our interior environment and guiding our path.
Open Offices
To optimize one’s performance, individuals need spaces that allow for focused work and uninterrupted thinking. The design of effective office spaces – enclosed or open – begins with appropriate programming of size, flow and layout and then takes into account ergonomics, technology, acoustics, privacy, storage, visual access to daylight, lighting and thermal comfort.
Amenities
From grabbing a cup of coffee to a private area for nursing mothers, amenities are taking center stage in workplace design. A well designed coffee bar with a mix of informal seating areas and tables can easily crossover to collaboration space or a touchdown area for visitors and clients. Meditation rooms can help employees with information overload and provide the space for big ideas to percolate. Keeping employees healthy, happy and actively engaged without having to leave the office not only improves production but the bottom dollar as well.
Condition
Objective is to gain a picture of the health of a building’s systems and components. During observational assessment, deficiencies are identified, documented, and recommendations quantified.
Decisions Supported: Budgeting/Capital improvement lists and a proactive approach to renewal.

Facility Assessments
Page has developed a mission-centric capital renewal planning approach using a framework we call Facility Quality Initiatives (FQI) that incorporates a range of assessments, and works within the policies and parameters of the Pricing Desk Guide 5th Edition, particularly as related to tenant improvements. Using available lenses through which to view the operation and maintenance of existing buildings, FQI crafts a framework using a single or multiple assessments that produce findings which become the basis for planning recommendations.
Page consistently brings creative thinking, smart strategies, and seasoned experience, considering long-term life cycle costs, to maximize investment strategies. Our capital renewal planners and assessment specialists are well versed in the full array of existing building deficiencies, an understanding of operations and maintenance management techniques, the ability to discover patterns in computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and industry preventative maintenance cycles and deliver “highest and best use” recommendations ready for prioritization inside of the larger capital improvement framework. Similarly, as an industry leader in interior architecture and design, Page brings the depth of knowledge and skills necessary to observe, document, and develop guidance that is actionable.
Simply stated, we blend data analytics with proven strategies to identify opportunities, provide benchmarking using reliable scoring, and recommend improvements. Page crafts a decision-making framework for selecting projects or initiatives that improve facility quality whether the deficiency is due to condition, energy inefficiency, inability to meet the needs of the program or personnel, over/under utilization, or other identified insufficiencies. Equipped with this analysis and professional recommendations, our team is furnished with the information necessary to craft pathways to reinvestment, renewal, adaptation, or retirement of assets.
Specialty Spaces
In addition to tradition office and working space, many workplaces have a variety of complex and specialized environments that are critical to the function of work. Data centers, laboratory and research space, archival facilities, and multi-purpose training and conferencing facilities are all often incorporated into modern office buildings.
Infrastructure & Support Spaces
Although sometimes referred to as off-stage or back-of-house areas, support spaces typically contain the brain and the pulse of the company. These are functional areas like Work/Copy Rooms, File Storage, Server and MDF Rooms and Supply Storage, all of which have specific infrastructure requirements pertaining to HVAC, power, information technology, security, acoustics and furnishings. Careful attention to the quantity and location of these spaces promotes efficiency and increase worker productivity.
