Woody’s International Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. produces high quality snowmobile accessories. They’re a second generation, family-owned business known for their traction products designed for safety and control.
Completed several years ago, we’re pulling this project out of the archives to share with you all!
In 2019, the team at Woody’s called us for a full workplace redesign project. Their building had been passed down through the family—without change—and desperately needed a refresh. We wanted to remove some of the built-ins and add flow and function to their two-story office space.
Challenges
A common challenge we face is needing to work within the existing footprint, rather than completely gut the floorplan.
We used our creativity and furniture options to create a more functional space and restructure offices where possible.
Solutions
To give the lobby a more welcoming feel, a new history wall and product display was installed. We also provided a variety of seating options.
The building was completely revamped with a fresh coat of paint, flooring, and AIS furniture—and art was provided to complement the space. Woody’s office now has a combination of their branding colors paired with industrial elements.
Acoustics was another problem for the team. To solve for this, we used two design tactics:
- Lighting: BuzziSpace lighting reduces excessive background noise in open spaces while providing a unique aesthetic.
- Flooring: We selected the J+J Flooring Kinetex carpet tile, a durable, carpet-like material that acts like a hard surface but also absorbs sound.
