Freedom of Expression
Walsh Bishop is excited to talk about our recent work for Crash + Sue’s, video post-production company, in downtown Minneapolis. They asked us to reinvestigate their environment, which is increasingly becoming a creative center not only for their own company, but also an audio studio, where independent artists, web developers, and other creatives share their space. Our design team focused on delivering a dynamic office environment that values self expression and collaboration. The project consisted of reorganizing the entry, social spaces, and corridor to unify the diverse personalities within the offices and studios. The social spaces, as part of the main circulation route, unify the space and create identity, while the adjacent and adjoining rooms remain independent spaces. The studio spaces are lowly lit along parallel corridors to optimize the creation and client review of the studio’s work. The main entrance, lobby, reception, CGI suite and lounge area revel in the control of light and color, creating dynamic experiences. Pixels, parallels, filters, frames and manipulation/control of light and shadow are central to the design. All of the design elements respond to the client’s identity while providing a flexible creative office environment that can be responsive to the various voices within.
