In an effort to better serve its members, AIA Colorado’s new light filled office maximizes flexibility through low cost design solutions. While the office requires privacy for everyday use, the AIA hosts numerous events for the community and chapter members. This inherent duality became the driver for flexible design. A continuous display wall made of acoustical panels not only works as a functional datum between public and private zones but also helps to acoustically separate the spaces. Additionally, two conference rooms can merge into one with a retractable dry-erase dividing wall. Sliding the other conference room walls allows the exhibition space spill into the conference rooms, creating a large public space. Many existing building materials, including carpet tiles, light fixtures and mechanical systems, were reused throughout the project.
