case study: Bartlett

Bartlett faced the challenge of transforming its workplace into a space that not only empowered the team but also reflected the brand’s recent refresh aimed at future connectivity while honoring its history and core values. The key objectives were to maintain a welcoming atmosphere fostering collaboration and information sharing, all while ensuring the team felt connected to their heritage and brand.

To address this challenge, Kolar engaged in designing for flexibility and collaboration, working closely with a cross-functional client team to understand employee needs and preferences. Through option analysis and budget considerations, Bartlett selected recommendations that promoted flexibility, collaboration, and improved communication within the space. A phased implementation plan was devised to meet business needs efficiently. The result was a branded interior experience that seamlessly merged history with innovation, featuring redistributed private and collaborative spaces, repurposed dead spaces to enhance well-being, and implemented technology standardization. The redesigned space boasted a modernized entryway, bold branding elements, new Zoom technology rooms, and storytelling elements throughout, effectively connecting the brand with innovation through flexible design.
