Interior architecture and design services for a 7,000 SF office space. The design team worked with Compass to develop a retail-oriented street front presence for the project. The location’s retail frontage design uniquely highlights their customer service model and property offerings.
Following Compass’s established design concept, the Potomac office location welcomes visitors with a marble reception desk and a half-height wall wrapped in a black wood herringbone veneer with prominent company logo. A conference room is located directly off the reception for easy guest access and street views. The open office area beyond features a bright and airy feel with high exposed ceilings, which along with the walls are finished all in white.
Contrasting this bright aesthetic are black carpet tile, linear LED pendant lights and black-framed glass office fronts. Pendant fixtures above the workstations were installed on an angle to provide the feeling of movement in the space. A common feature in Compass’ designs, shared team rooms replace individual offices and range in size to accommodate two to five people each. The office design incorporates a generously sized eat-in pantry with a long high-top table and kitchen amenities integrated into black and white millwork highlighted by penny-tile backsplash.
Since 2020, Ware Malcomb has worked with Compass to design more than 80 offices across 20 states.
