I am happiest when I have creative outlets or ongoing projects in addition to the work I do at Block Club. Planning and designing interior spaces is something I especially love. 

When we started to plan our first real buildout for our new office at the beginning of this year, we were fortunate to find a blank, open canvas to start with. It’s a one-story building that dates back to the 1930s, situated on the recently rehabbed 700 block of Main Street. The space is long and narrow, with a beautiful brick wall extending the length of the space and huge windows at either end. We would have to build some walls to give privacy in the conference area and a few small offices, so we installed windows in most walls to allow natural light to travel from east to west.

I was particularly inspired by all of the interiors I’ve drooled over while traveling in Scandinavia. The space came with some of the prettiest hardwood floors I’ve seen. We chose a very clean, light gray and white color palette for walls, doors and baseboards in order to accent the hardwood floors and our existing wood desks, shelves and work spaces. 

Move-in day came this past weekend and we’re starting to get settled in. There’s still lots of work to do, but we’re here, and most importantly, we’re working.

Check our album on Facebook to see the transformation and progress of our new space!
