Casey Westerman
A New England native, I’ve been interested in design since I was a little kid touring construction sites with my dad. Constantly finding myself curious what the interior would look like, I found my niche in interior design early on.
My relentless enthusiasm has extended into my professional career where I find myself most passionate about creating purpose-driven spaces. Within my projects, I take pride in my strength of crafting compelling graphics that help illustrate our design concepts to our clients. Whether it’s in-studio or digitally, I thrive on opportunities to think creatively & collaborate with teammates.
What inspires me most isn’t the end-result but the collaborative design process where ideas transform into solutions. It’s the feeling that my voice can have the power to make a difference simply by asking a new question, that makes me love what I do for a living.

FURNITURE REUSE
60% of the total furniture cost was reused, including reconfigured offices & workstations.
A key component to the design of USGBC’s HQ space was researching & specifying healthy building materials. The Knowledge Library is a public-facing resource that features 112 innovative materials and products selected and installed on the project that demonstrate human health + environmental benefits. The cards display a variety of finish materials, furniture pieces, lighting fixtures, appliances, and plumbing equipment. Material specifications like transparency disclosures, recycled content percentages, and manufacturing locations are listed on the backside to understand the impact of design materials on buildings and its occupants.

Project Site
BP -Washington DC MAKE A STATEMENT IN THE FIRST MASS TIMBER PROJECT IN WASHINGTON, DC artist rendering
The project site, 80M St is the first mass timber new construction in the city. Occupying the penthouse floor, the tenant suite boasts 15ft ceilings and two outdoor terraces. Full-height glazing offers views over the Anacostia Riverfront and the Washingto n Monument.
FLOOR FINISH PLAN
Design Vision
The project aims to be a showpiece & pilot for the client’s transformation initiatives, highlighting sustainable design, and a commitment to net-zero. The space will host VIPs so it needs to be welcoming while also impressive and functional for day-to-day operations.
Taking inspiration from the juxtaposition of traditional & modern elements throughout Washington, DC, the finish palette brings in natural materials to contrast man-made elements like glass, concrete & steel. The structure of the building sets the stage with striking mass-timber framing set against full-height glass that offers expansive views over Navy Yard.
Project Goals
Globally Consistent & Regionally Flexible Functional Balance & Variety Personal Choice
Celebrate the global brand while reflecting an understanding of D.C.’s regional identity.
Deliver a thoughtful, and inspiring workplace that is fit for purpose & built for the future.
Adaptability of Space
Create a welcoming space that balances the need for privacy with public spaces to receive and host guests.
Provide quality spaces that give employees agency in work environments.

← Design Concept
Client: Nixon Peabody
Firm: Perkins&Will
Size: 54,080 sqft
Location: Chicago, IL
Year: 2020
Critical to Nixon Peabody’s identity is their welcoming Mid-Western culture. The main reception floor is organized on the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie style. Cantilevered details and horizontal gestures help to make the reception and conferencing spaces feel warm & inviting. The entry experience transports visitors from the foyer towards the back porch where 1” downlights scattered across the ceiling mimic a starry night above Chicago’s skyline.
Methodology
Activities that informed the design strategy included: visioning & goal setting focus group, imaging session, and employee web survey.
Areas of Focus
Level 52
Perkins&Will DC Studio
Project Description
Perkins&Will’s new DC studio was designed to serve as a “showroom” where the process of design could be on display. The materials library, café, model shop, and collaboration spaces are within view of the reception lounge, giving visitors a glimpse into our work.
The design team sought to create a welcoming & highly flexible space, while demonstrating leadership in Living Design (Pursuing LEED / WELL / Living Building Challenge & Fitwell). A central large conference room with an operable glass partition helps maximize access to daylight, and fosters a transparent and engaging atmosphere for collaboration.
