WORKPLACE

A U U B T S O

SUSTAIN ABILITY

TVS has helped clients benefit from many aspects of sustainable design since the firm’s inception in 1968. Our staff of LEED and WELL Accredited Professionals works to find a balance of social, environmental and economic factors in our projects drawing from our experience in LEED Platinum and WELL certified projects. As a leader in the integration of sustainable practices with client satisfaction and design innovation, TVS has the capacity to develop any project according to the client’s desired level of environmental responsibility. With over 57 LEED Certified projects we’ve received countless awards for creating remarkable designs for our clients and communities.

We have pursued the Living Building Challenge 4.0 on several projects at a conceptual level, but those projects did not continue with the program.

PLACE

Our green roofs include farm to table urban roof gardens, extensive and intensive vegetated roofs.

WATER

We use climate responsive passive design strategies to reduce water demand on our projects.

ENERGY

We use passive design strategies to reduce energy demand on our projects.

HEALTH + HAPPINESS

Our designs promote healthy habits.

MATERIALS

We specify low carbon materials.

EQUITY

Work with client to develop equitable access to, and protections from negative impacts.

BEAUTY

Design to include elements that nurture the innate human/nature connection.

TVS was recognized by United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) as the first organization ever to achieve both LEED and WELL Platinum through a streamlined, dual track. This path encourages and simplifies the process for both certifications and for TVS to have achieved the highest level of both standards speaks to the firm’s commitment to embracing human and planetary health.

The design team’s focus wasn’t necessarily to pursue points to certification. It was to do the best job possible across all aspects of the projects , given very challenging budgetary and time constraints. When considering design options, the team weighed them for their near- and long-term impact on the firm’s collective wellbeing – what solution would be the most equitable, provide the best environment to do good work, use resources most effectively and sustainably?

Ultimately, these certifications were achieved through initiatives like:

- Reuse of 60% of furniture plus ceiling systems and lighting

- A scrappy, DIY sensibility – in house 3D printed signage

- Carbon negative and recycled materials

- Daylighting studies

- Connection to nature via terrace

- Biophilia

As the team approached the end of the project it became clear that, with a small push, they could meet the Platinum requirements for LEED and WELL. The new streamlined process made that possible and this new approach is strongly recommended.

WE DEVELOP SOLUTIONS THAT ARE TAILORED TO YOUR BUSINESS AND DESIGNED TO FLEX AND CHANGE WITH YOU.

As designers committed to creating success for our clients, we make remarkable design easy. We listen first to immerse ourselves into your culture. We learn where you are now and where you plan to go. We develop solutions that are tailored to your business and designed to flex and change with you. We deliver results with passion, tempered by good business sense and more than 50 years of technical excellence.

For many of our clients, creating and building a new work environment for themselves is a challenge that may happen every ten years or more. Space reflects who our clients are today and looks forward to who they will be in the future. It helps to recruit the best talent, support and inspire their best work and, perhaps most importantly, imparts a sense of confidence, trust and value that is then shared with customers and partners.driven by place and culture, and a functional and flexible community forum for deepening in-person social engagement.

We make remarkable design easy.

Beaverton desired the same quality of design and amenities on a smaller scale with a nod to the local northwestern culture through the use of materials.

Though the conditions of renovating an older building posed its challenges, the space ultimately provided unique design opportunities such as the wood structure. Engaging consultants early, the character of the building is juxtaposed with seamless integrations of a/v and technology, which provides a smart, intuitive environment for employees and an impressive experience for guests.

Highlighting the company’s collaborative culture, a variety of collaboration opportunities adjacent to the workstations were incorporated throughout.

COUSINS, ATLANTA HEADQUARTERS

Atlanta | Georgia

The headquarters for a real estate developer, their office was redesigned to create better synergy among employees, be used like a showroom for possible new clientele, and decrease their square footage thus creating a more efficient working environment. Located in a prime location of Atlanta, Georgia the 23,000 sf office space was designed to be mostly open.

This major design element then unified departments within the company which were previously separated and isolated while also creating views of the entire city and letting daylight penetrate through the entire space. The design approach for the overall aesthetic of the office, was to treat the space more like a showroom where the client can showcase their profession. The use of building materials like concrete, wood, metal and glass were used in a refined way that it then created a tailored industrial aesthetic.

The space now allows clients to walk through and have a clear impression of the company’s culture and values as well as lets staff feel a sense of pride.

MERCER

Atlanta | Georgia

When the client, owner of three separate companies, sought to bring their businesses all under one roof, the design team knew that an office-sharing or coworking concept would be key. The client envisioned an interactive setting that would include a podcast studio and a high-end look and feel. The catch – the project was confined to a limited budget and overall small space. The design team sprang to action to develop many multifunctional and shared spaces to maximize the efficiency of use.

The design team successfully achieved a high-end looking, strategic space by using premium products in selective locations, mixing less expensive materials and providing the warm, inviting space with unique accents and custom, colourful graphic wall coverings. For example, real, premium woodwork is integrated into some areas, balanced with wood-look wall coverings and faux-wood LVT on the floor in some areas, with white marble tile flooring in others. High performance ceiling cloud is hung on a limited portion in the open work station area, while the major portion of the ceiling remains exposed to structural ceiling, maximizing the volume of space.

Responding to the challenge of representing distinct branding from three different companies in one space, the designers employed a custom graphic solution that combines a dynamic mixture of the suite of brand colours, accented with wood and gold for a neutral thread that creates an upgraded look.

- Open workspace

Atlanta | Georgia

It’s not every day that a design firm gets to design their own workplace. After 30 years in occupying an office tower in Midtown Atlanta across multiple floors, the firm made the decision to relocate to a nearby space on a single floor. The design team responded to three key design challenges: create a better human experience, create a better team experience and foster innovation.

AREA + ATTRIBUTES

- 33,000 sf

- Free address environment

- Varied workstations

- Multipurpose / collaborative zones

- Focus rooms

- Mother’s rooms

- Zen lounge

- Materials library

- LEED Platinum

- Well Platinum

One goal was to bring encourage more collaboration and to help break down silos. However, noise and distraction in a contiguous open office environment was a concern, so acoustical comfort and workstation layout was critical. The design team also sought to create an inclusive environment by offering a variety of spaces that support different working and learning styles and allow people to come together in different ways.

The team also pursued lofty LEED and WELL certification goals, with the aim of making the new office a space that promotes wellness and wellbeing. It was important that everything from policy and operations to the physical environment enable every person in the firm to thrive. Another key challenge was a very tight budget and schedule under challenging construction conditions, fraught with high inflation and long lead times.

CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL CLIENT

Atlanta | Georgia

TVS worked with a confidential client to create an office space in Atlanta. The client wanted a new office space that was inviting and modern and reflects their values. The client did not have branding and the company was fairly new, which led to TVS leaning in on helping create a vision. That vision for the space helped the clients with their own branding and culture. Part of the vision, was for the client to have their own personal touches throughout the space, allowing for story telling and a at home comfort level.

With careful planning and thoughtful selections on finishes, TVS also helped the space be more personalized by having local craftsman create finishes and furniture for the space.

Having custom pieces with standard, led for the project to be in budget while having unique features and details. Examples of this would be: custom shou shogi ban wood, custom tables and rugs, custom rugs with the standard workstation products and cost efficient flooring and paint.
