PROJECT 3:STEELCASE OFFICE STEPHANIE HOUSTON
INSPIRATION IMAGES
CONCEPT: An epicenter is a focal point where high amounts of energy and activity occur. Much like how seismic waves are measured to triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake, different spaces within the office read into each other to determine these points of the highest creativity, inspiration, and communication.
COLOR PALETTE: California is well known for its location along the San Andreas fault, which is the reason for the frequent occurence of epicenters in the area. Inspired by the landscape of the fault, this color palette contains warm, earthy tones with accents of botanical greenery.

EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN : WELL BEING - Materials specified throughout the space emit little to no VOCs and most are antimicrobial
AIR
WATER
- Air purification and ventilation systems control air quality through a supply and return system that filters and disposes of contaminants in the air stream
- Filtration stations and water coolers are strategically located around the workplace so that anyone is within 50 feet of safe and clean water at any given time when moving throughout the space
NOURISHMENT
- Snacks provided in the Work Cafe are limited but offer healthy alternatives to typical packaged food, with options for people with certain allergies - Research and a list of local restaurants and caterers that provide healthier options can be found in the cafe bulletin if people want to go out for food or have it delivered
- Private offices and meeting space are mostly in the core of the building as opposed to being along the window line in order to help reduce glare on technologies
LIGHT
- Circadian lighting systems will adjust throughout the day to match natural patterns of sunlight - Only LED or fluorescent are specified throughout the space
SECTION 3 : FULL BUILDING
- Views of nature are visible throughout the space for connection to nature
MIND
- Policies implemented in the workplace that are mindful of well being; for example, monthly anonymous surveys that go out to see what improvements can be made in the space or if there are any concerns from employees
- ADA requirements are met throughout the space for universal accessibility
COMFORT
- Ergonomic furniture with height adjustable workstations are offered to all employees - Acoustical barriers are provided through selected floor and ceiling finishes and installation of an ALUR Air Masking system - Private to public spaces are provided to work in, with the upstairs being more quiet and downstairs the more rowdy
FITNESS
- Stairs are made a focal point in two locations of the open office, strategically placed in the middle of the work area so people are more likely to use them as a means of going up to the mezzanine - A Wellness and Fitness area is located upstairs for the option of in-house exercise breaks in the day - Showers and changing areas are located on the mezzanine in the Wellness area in order to encourage employees to bike or even walk to and from work - The open office is split into two levels to encourage movement for communication
