New Build Industrial Project with Natural Wood Accents
CJ & Associates, Inc. is proud to announce one of our favorite projects, a new build for DeForest, Wisconsin-based Hooper. The project’s primary objective was to bring all staff members into a single space while delicately balancing the overall budget. The entire process, from build-out to completion, took approximately one year.
We meticulously selected furnishings to provide the Hooper team with an efficient, functional, and comfortable space. Products from HALCON, Arcadia, JSI, OFS, 9to5 Seating, Teknion, and Zintra were handpicked based on their high quality and durability. In addition, we chose height-adjustable workspaces designed with ergonomics in mind to keep the team comfortable and productive in their custom-created space.
When it comes to designing an office space that wows clients, incorporating the right furniture can make all the difference. With this project, we furnished four different areas of the office: the reception and waiting area, private offices, the breakroom, and the workroom. Our focus was on creating a space that was not only functional but stylish and modern while incorporating their brand and pops of color throughout their space.
The cafe area is a particular standout, complete with tables, chairs, booths, and relaxed seating around the fireplace, so employees have abundant space to socialize and collaborate. Stools and bar areas were selected specifically to meet the client’s requirements for a versatile area capable of serving as a party space, a meeting space, or a collection of workspaces, boosting flexibility and ease of use. In addition to the cafe space, we also curated furnishing and décor for the waiting area, conference rooms, and lounge.
One of this project’s critical challenges was balancing the budget carefully; some areas were prioritized above others for maximum client value. However, the CJ & Associates team was able to navigate these challenges successfully, resulting in an inviting, productive, and flexible space for the entire team.
We thoroughly enjoyed creating an ideal space for Hooper, and our team is proud of the result. Our close relationship with the company made this an enriching experience, and we were able to meet all of the requirements while keeping budgetary concerns front and center. As industry leaders, we have access to high-quality products and the expertise required to successfully execute even the most complex projects. With three generations of experience and a commitment to design excellence, the CJ & Associates design experts support each client through their workspace transformation journey.
