Werner Co.

555 Pierce • Itasca, Illinois
31,500 SF

THE BRIEF

Combine three different offices from three different cities into one corporate operation space. Create a space were people want to come to work and reflects who Werner Co. is.

THE DEEPER ISSUE

Existing office facilities didn’t inspire creativity or encourage people to work together. While the leadership team wanted a unique and dramatic workplace, the budget was strictly held to a tenant allowance.

THE PROCESS

Capitalize on the existing conditions of a top floor space by opening the ceiling up entirely. The high pitched roof creates a one of a kind backdrop. Concrete floors, rugged materials, an “unfinished” aesthetic reinforce the company’s identity.
