Our scope of work spans coast to coast and industry to industry! We are on our toes, ready for industrial parks, apartment communities and even parking garage-to-outdoor-living sundeck-conversions. This project exuded an executive feel, in an industrial park format.

Amazing how much impact light of any kind, and colors of any shade have on the overall feel of a space!

When we think about creating educational spaces, color is often the last slice of the pie we consider—yet it should be one of the first! For elementary students, vibrant and playful hues can turn a simple classroom into a bubbling cauldron of curiosity. For the collegiate level, the color strategy shifts from playful to poised, with blues and natural greens. Of all commercial design sectors, the educational spaces are dependent on very well thought-out color selections. Read the details as we discuss various hues and the best use of color.

When it comes to designing large commercial and multifamily spaces, the magic isn't just in selecting the right colors or the number of hues in your palette; it's in mastering the art of color blocking to sculpt the atmosphere that tenants dream of. Color zoning is a pivotal strategy used by certified color consultants and architectural designers. We share the details and thought process behind color zoning in today's article.

With the increasing demand for active senior living communities, as part of the Silver Tsuanmi, common spaces play a crucial role in promoting social interaction, fostering a sense of belonging, and supporting residents' overall well-being. Here are some primary benefits of common spaces in these communities: Social Engagement: Common spaces, such as clubhouses, lounges, and activity rooms, provide opportunities for residents to connect, participate in group activities, and build meaningful relationships. This helps combat loneliness and isolation, which can be significant challenges for seniors. Physical Activity: Fitness centers, swimming pools, and outdoor recreation areas encourage residents to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Regular physical activity can improve strength, balance, and overall well-being, which are vital for seniors. Mental Stimulation: Libraries, art studios, and educational spaces offer opportunities for residents to engage in intellectually stimulating activities, promoting cognitive health and lifelong learning. Relaxation and Stress Relief: Spas, meditation rooms, and outdoor gardens provide peaceful retreats where residents can unwind, manage stress, and practice self-care. Dining: Community dining halls and cafes not only offer nutritious meals but also create a social hub for residents to gather, share meals, and create connections over food. Access to Services: Common spaces can house on-site services such as salons, medical facilities, and pharmacies, making it convenient for residents to access essential services without leaving the community. Entertainment: Movie theaters, game rooms, and performance spaces provide fun and engaging entertainment options for residents, contributing to an enjoyable and fulfilling community experience. Family Connections: Guest suites and family-friendly gathering spaces allow residents to host visiting family members, maintaining and strengthening intergenerational bonds. In summary, common spaces within active senior living communities are vital in supporting residents' social, physical, and emotional well-being. By fostering a sense of community and offering diverse amenities, these spaces contribute significantly to the appeal and success of senior living communities. Here at Color Works, we recognize the value in all of these areas and we design spaces accordingly. Each project is custom-designed with the for ROI, tenant satisfaction and end goal in mind.

Upon completing the full renovation of Sagebrush Dental office, Erich shared this review: “I tried to DIY pictures and furniture in my office and it really didn’t turn out very well.  After spending a significant amount of time and effort my wife and I decided to hire a professional.  The interior designer did an amazing job and set a positive and professional tone and feel for the office.“ He recently posted in a medical/dental social forum and we wanted to share more of his experience with you. (with permission of course) "We love the look of our office and there were plenty of lessons learned along the way. When we did our office remodel, there were many things I wish I had known before we started, and I want to share who we ended up using and what worked. First of all, when I started the process, I “met” a variety of architects, designers and service providers. What seemed like a simple task to make a few design decisions and find the people to make it happen, I ran into a few issues: ·  Architect that couldn’t accommodate our needs for patient rooms ·  A designer who was stuck in the way of doing medical offices like her prior designs ·  An architect who could do the drawings and construction plans but offered NO design support thereafter After working with two interior designers and a national office design firm, we found Katie Decker-Erickson with Color Works. (website link). It was actually a social event that led us to her and she took our shell space and turned it into an office that is both beautiful and speaks to our target patient.  Here are a few details about our remodel: In the office, we installed a low-pile carpet and a really durable luxury vinyl plank. We brought in new reception furniture, new cabinetry, new lighting, and solid surface countertops. Katie and her team then finished out the space with art, plants, lamps and new furnishings to create both an inviting and professional space. We finished with new paint on the exterior (paint colors chosen by Katie), including painting the trim and brick and updated our signage with complementary colors.
