Best Sustainable Project Award
Having worked with Gensler on projects around the country, we were thrilled to be part of the renovation of their Washington, DC office. The project included a second-floor expansion with an accordion glass wall system that connects the indoor workspace to the outdoors.
Mindful of Gensler’s commitment to sustainability and biophilic design, ORE provided planters throughout the site, setting up a continuous flow of green. Spanning over 6,000 square feet, the inside-outside design removes barriers to nature for a truly people-centric work experience.
Maintaining a sense of cohesion between the interior and exterior was key for us as we worked with the firm’s design vision. Work areas feature planters with integrated seating, including an outdoor planter system that follows the curved lines of custom wood benches designed by Gensler. We also provided under-bench and ambience lighting throughout.
