So it's painting week at Office Spaces.
I've brought in Pheonix painting to paint
the interiors.
Pheonix has worked on many large commercial
painting projects before.
So they understand this scope of work and
they understand my needs.
I have a lot of detailed painting work to
be done and they have experience doing large
scale projects so I have faith in them to
get the job done.
I've dedicated the perimeter of the building
to private offices where the windows can bring
a lot of the natural day light.
Here, I want to treat the whole back wall
in an accent color.
As you walk by all of the offices with the
glass fronts you see a beautiful blue accent
wall.
I wanted to create that feeling of sameness
throughout the building and create a rhythm.
The one thing that Kalyn and I discuss a lot
are color, the use of color, and how color
affects moods and people and again it's about
balance.
You want something that reflects the company
in a very vibrant way, but isn't too much
and so that's the one… if Kalyn and I discuss
anything it's the use of color.
So I'm going to show you two different accent
wall options, two different colors.
So again I wanted to bring that accent color,
blue, into the space.
From office to office it's sort of unifies
the different office spaces and also gives
us some unity.
So this is the first color option.
But let's talk about option number two.
So this one is a much deeper, richer blue.
We want to create a nice color pop and that's
a little too dimmed down, right?
Muted?
So option one?
Everyone is happy with option one?
Yes!
Absolutely.
Okay, good.
I wanted each office to offer a creative way
for the employees to express themselves.
So each side wall of the office is first being
painted white and then treated with a clear
coat on top of that.
So it will become a dry erase wall.
So you can just, basically it's a dry erase
board, but the whole wall is?
The whole wall is.
Because you guys wanted to be more paperless,
so this way if you're having a meeting in
your office you can write notes, you can…
You know we have so many creative types in
the company…
Right, it's creative, it's collaborative,
and it's paperless.
The other wall will have a black, chalkboard
bubble that you can write on.
So on this wall is is the whole wall a chalk
board paint or just an area?
I have a little surprise with what we've decided
to do with the chalk board paint so it's a
smaller area.
It's not the whole wall.
Ok, got it.
So it's a surprise.
It's actually the graphic symbol for BrandStar's
“Listn TV” logo.
So I drew it in autocad and then Pheonix painting
made a template of the bubble and recreated
it on the wall.
We're going to be placing television monitors
in that black bubble later, but mostly I think
the chalkboard bubble will just be a fun way
for employees to express themselves in their
individual space and personalize their office
without hanging a multitude of picture frames
and clutter.
Even the simple thing like having the whiteboard
paint wall so that people could be in rooms
and collaborate together with an outcome is
extremely important in a fast-passed creative
environment that we're in.
I think Mark and Carmen were especially excited
about this color scheme.
It's green, it's good for the environment,
and it's a fun way to express creativity,
which is what this place is all about.
The chalkboard walls and the dry-erase walls
really came out well.
I think they're not only going to be fun,
but they'll be great for collaboration.
It's all about making every element of this
office functional.
I'm so excited to move in.
We have all sorts of things like chalk walls
where people can write in chalk and white
walls, and everybody is just chomping at the
bit to get in here.
