KTUU NORTHERN LIGHTS MEDIA CENTER

Scope: Assist the design firm and their client to provide the interior furnishings for KTUU’s brand new state-of-the-art broadcast facility.

The project consisted of over 100 workstations in a variety of configurations, as well as conference, training, and public spaces.

DAVIS OFFICE BUILDING (NEW HOME OF DAVIS CONSTRUCTORS AND ENGINEERS, INC.

Scope: Assist the design firm and their client with development of a furniture plan that included modular administrative workstations, wood executive offices, and a glass storefront wall system with butcher block wood doors. The furniture was intended to tie into the building architecture, so we created a custom orange paint for the desking that matched the company branding and corresponded with painted overhead pipes. Open- plan modular workstations featured exposed hardware and cable baskets to match the building aesthetic.

DENA’INA WELLNESS CENTER

Scope: Assist the design firm and their client to develop a plan to consolidate staff and services within a new building in Kenai, AK. The facility was required to reflect the client’s culture while at the same time integrating multiple service providers into a team setting. We engaged the staff members of the various departments to better understand their work flow and create an analysis of their new integrated work setting. Using on-site meetings, individual feedback, and computer conferencing, we developed a broad picture of how the various components within the organization can better work together. With this plan in mind, Think Office designed an Integrated Workspace that included modular workstations, consultation areas, and educational spaces. This comprehensive furniture package not only helped the client’s organization function at a higher level, but also remained consistent with their mission statement that focused on serving the needs of the Kenaitze people.
