Herman Miller Marketplace Zeeland, Michigan With the development of this 100,000 sf build-to-suite facility, Herman Miller sought to consolidate four leases, align nine business units and reduce operating costs. They asked for an environmentally sustainable design that would dynamically balance community, collaboration and individual needs with adaptability, effective space use and value. The designers conducted client focus groups to establish general criteria
and used web based surveys to collect detailed information to develop an all inclusive representation of needs. Collaborating with the developer and base building architect ,the analysis ultimately influenced the structure of the building for an “inside out” design and an innovation solution that adapts to evolving needs. Fifty five percent of the open design provides for individual workstations with the remaining space designated for collaborative and flexible use, an increase of 25% more collaborative/flexible space than previously available. In addition, an initial savings of 34% over previous occupancy costs was realized, with an ongoing savings of 41% Awarded Leed Gold certification under the New Construction rating system and recognized by the American Institute of Architects for its sustainable design, the facility has become a significant part of the Herman Miller customer experience and hosts regularly scheduled tours.

Snowmass Key Collection – Related Company Snowmass, CO
The Key Collection - Carriage House Solidly at home with American tradition, the Carriage House's stately stone face, crosshatched Douglas Fir timbers and classic canopied arrival portico formally welcome you to the heart of Snowmass. Within each of the eight private residences, locally quarried, fine imported stone and rustic white oak are accented by traditional furnishings and regionally inspired accents and artwork.
The Key Collection - Croft House Drawing its name from Snowmass' ranching heritage, the Croft House is an exclusive property with four residences located adjacent to the proposed village square. With its alternating shingle and dormer rooflines, natural stone and board and batten walls, and myriad windows, the Croft House's limited collection of four residences possess the spirit and mannerisms of a luxurious mountain cabin. Each home's interior palette showcases extensive wood selections-including alder, walnut, oak and pine-complemented by sophisticated stonework, glass treatments accented by nature's own hand, and classic furnishings invigorated by innovative accent pieces and collectible artwork.
The Key Collection - Latigo Lofts Named for the leather strap that connects saddle and cinch and the building's connective location between Carriage House and Croft House-embody mountain living that melds the old west with modern sophistication, right at the epicenter of Base Village. Steps from the proposed village plaza's disappearing fountains and art wall, these nine loft-inspired residences reinterpret the cowboy aesthetic. Architectural and interior design elements reflect a blacksmith's workshop, an urban warehouse, and an innovative fashion atelier. In select two-level lofts, a glass-railed staircase and mezzanine provide a dramatic opening gesture; in every home, furnishings feature clean lines and contemporary nods to the great outdoors. All throughout, the cool glint of mixed metals juxtapose with warm woods, earthy stone, and natural wool and hide.
