CH2M

CH2M, now Jacobs, adopted a more causal logo and robust branding guidelines as part of a re-positioning effort which emphasized their focus on people, fun, safety, sustainability, and the significance of their work in an appealing graphic format. The architectural design team adopted this 2D re-brand to direct design decisions for a remodel of the public entry and adjoining corporate cafe.

Brand Voice

Featured design elements in each of the areas provide visual hierarchy and presented our team with technical challenges along the way. Upon entry, occupants experience a tiled HD video display, complete with audio. As they descend the grand stair they contact a green-wall representing their commitment to sustainability. Lastly, passing by a 12’ fish tank. All elements were selected by company-wide vote.

“The reactions to the project, with its signature spaces, has become the prototype for other improvements at the campus.”

-Rick Alexander, Acquilano, Inc.

Eatery Enclaves

The commercial servery was fully remodeled to improve flow. Clean finishes and improved lighting display meal offerings in a more appetizing venue. The balance of the square footage is reserved for eatery seating; broken into two parts. One half was lounge-like where engineers could host working sessions, the other was outfitted with billiard games and higher ceilings for a livelier atmosphere. Both serve as café dining space during peak hours and display branding elements throughout.

Structural Design

Planning and form generation reflect a ‘structured’ feel. Strong massing gestures were finished with natural engineering and construction materials while the branding colors were utilized to finish the design.
