CGI Federal

The design concept for this project takes inspiration from CGI Federal’s technology-driven perspective, seamless integrating dynamic elements with natural materials. In the elevator lobby and reception area, wooden acoustical slats are thoughtfully placed to create movement and to support CGI Federal’s company branding. Throughout the three floors, different ceiling elements complement the activity that is happening beneath such as wooden ceilings in public areas, acoustic baffles in collaborative spaces and conference rooms, and open ceilings in areas of primary circulation. Individual workspaces and collaboration areas are located around the perimeter of the office, taking advantage of the panoramic views of downtown Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains in the distance. Other references to local landmarks are located throughout the three floors using unique room names, wall graphics, and art. The design team collaborated with client representatives to provide spaces that enhance and support their work dynamics. Our design strategy emphasized flexible, functional spaces that accommodate the varied work styles and tasks that the team engages in. The furniture was selected by CGI Federal to provide utility and comfort that reinforces the overall design concept. Our collaboration resulted in a workspace that not only supports CGI Federal’s current needs but also allows for future growth and adaptation.
