Square Footage: 16,000

Project Intent

The design intent focused on creating a workplace that feels connected, comfortable, and built for growth. Private offices and shared spaces were given a cohesive look and feel, while ergonomic, height-adjustable workstations provide employees with greater flexibility and comfort throughout the workday. Large training rooms encourage learning and development, huddle spaces support collaboration, and café areas provide informal settings for employees to gather and connect.

Workscapes provided new furniture across two floors while also coordinating the relocation and reuse of existing furniture to maximize the client’s investment. The scope included 46 new workstations, 11 private offices, 31 training tables with 62 training chairs, conference and huddle spaces, café furnishings, open-office storage, collaborative bar-height seating, and lobby furniture.

Workscapes also coordinated the relocation of 21 existing desks and task chairs, along with additional workstation seating, integrating existing assets into the redesigned environment. From ergonomic workstations and focused offices to training, meeting, dining, and gathering spaces, the furniture solution creates a consistent experience throughout the office.

The result is a refreshed, adaptable workplace that strengthens connection between teams, enhances the employee experience, and provides RIPA & Associates with the flexibility to continue growing.

Phase II

Phase II of RIPA & Associates’ office transformation focused on creating a dedicated environment for the Human Resources team that carries the clean, cohesive design established throughout the larger workplace.

The space includes 3 private offices, 8 workstations, and 2 common areas, providing a thoughtful balance of privacy, focused work, and opportunities for connection. Furniture solutions were selected to support employee comfort and productivity while maintaining consistency with the look and feel of Phase I.

The result is a functional, welcoming HR environment that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the office while providing the flexibility to support RIPA’s continued growth.
