From the elevator core of the building, visitors and employees experience is a panoramic view creating a dynamic heart for the office space.

The scope of the project is a design for the headquarters of RMS, a firm specializing in all aspects of timberland investments worldwide. The design concept reflects the company’s identity and values by creating a dynamic relationship between the wooded lake front and the daylight filled interior. The result is a pleasant office space that attracts and retains employees that are engaged by the company’s collaborative, entrepreneurial, forestry-focused culture. The design optimizes light and transparency throughout the space with unlimited views of the surrounding site.

View fullsize  The “town center” of the office has a formal and informal conference space, a café, and a variety of open seating areas for employees and visitors along the lakefront side of the building.
