Interiors&SpacePlanning
Today, more and more companies are recognizing
the value of design as a competitive advantage in
the workplace.
Organizations that invest in design attract the
best employees and increase customer loyalty.
But the best interior environments go beyond
that, creating spaces that boost productivity,
promote collaboration, heighten creativity, and
improve overall health and wellbeing.
Our design team uses space, color, materials,
and light to create healthy environments that
enhance performance.
Through intelligent planning and creative
problem-solving, we work with organizations of
all sizes to create beautiful spaces that reflect
your values and respect your budget.
DOES YOUR WORKPlACE REFLECT YOUR ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND ASPIRATIONS?
EFFECTIVE SPACE PLANNING IMPROVES EFFICIENCY, SAVES MONEY, AND IS BETTER FOR THE PLANET.
Mobility, flexibility, and sustainability are the
driving forces behind workplace design today.
At Freeman French Freeman, we constantly
assess current trends to create modern,
functional spaces that enhance the working
environment while reducing overall costs.
Mobility. Thanks to modern technology, the number of workers who regularly work from home, in satellite offices, or out in the field has grown exponentially in recent years. Many of these employees do not require permanent workstations. Instead, hotdesking, where employees take unassigned desks on a first-come, first-served basis, or hotelling, which provides pre-assigned but shared workstations, are increasingly common practices. Such arrangements save both money and space for today’s on-the-go office.
Flexibility. Private offices are disappearing as more employees work in teams and small groups. Instead, open, collaborative workstations are the norm, interspersed with private meeting rooms of various sizes. Typically, these environments feature mobile workstations and movable walls that can be rearranged as employers’ needs change. Another benefit: windows that were once blocked by perimeter offices now shine natural light deep into the interior.
Sustainability. A more efficient office design not only lowers lease payments, it reduces energy costs, too. But a reduced footprint is just the beginning. Both big decisions (think mechanical systems) and small ones (like lighting, paint, flooring, and furniture) can make a real difference in the environmental impact of your business.
Organizations with multiple offices often benefit from workplace consolidation. Benefits include lower real estate costs, reduced energy use, less wasted space, and increased productivity.
Natural daylight—and lots of it—is indespensible. Above, the elimination of peripheral offices and lowered workplace partitions help distribute light throughout the room. At left, a glass wall increases natural light while reducing ambient noise in a private office.
Workstation layouts can take many forms. In this example, the honeycomb configuration creates a semi-private enclave that facilitates collaboration and helps create a sense of community among co-workers. Making each level similar to others in multi-story buildings
simplifies wayfinding for the public as well as employees working on different floors.

BEAUTIFUL INTERIORS CAN BE TRANSFORMATIONAL, CHANGING HOW EMPLOYEES SEE THEMSELVES AND HOW CUSTOMERS VIEW YOUR BUSINESS.
NEFCU wanted to personalize the customer
experience by giving members both high-tech
and high-touch options to meet their needs.
Interactive spaces with plenty of color and
light, sleek, modern surfaces, and custom
graphics create a “wow” space that delights
both employees and customers.

CASE STUDY: THE NEW ENGLAND FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
1. Local branding experts Direct Design crafted these customer workstations to encourage online banking.
2. Backlit by color-changing LEDs, NEFCU’s logo is front and center, both inside and out.
3. Sleek concierge and teller stations built by Amoskeag Woodworking add color and warmth.
4. NEFCU wanted its commitment to environmental sustainability reflected in its new building, achieving LEED Silver certification from the US Green Building Council.
WHEN YOU MOVE OVER 1,000 EMPLOYEES INTO A TOTALLY NEW SPACE, MANAGING PEOPLE IS AS IMPORTANT AS MANAGING CONSTRUCTION.
FFF worked with the State of Vermont to relocate
over 1,000 employees scattered across the state
onto a single office complex in Montpelier.
Spread across nine floors and three buildings
on the National Life campus, the gut renovation
project created entirely new office environments
for multiple state agencies and departments.
CASE STUDY: THE STATE OF VERMONT AT NATIONAL LIFE
The new workspaces incorporate the latest
thinking in office design with an emphasis on
flexibility and teamwork. The open office design
includes clustered workstations that increase
natural lighting, improve air quality, reduce
energy use, and significantly lower square-foot
requirements per worker.
