Bellacor's New Workspace in Minneapolis

Bellacor’s new workspace occupies the entire top floor of the McKesson Building in Minneapolis’s Warehouse District. Made of brick and wood, the existing space had a richness of material and light that was foregrounded in the design approach. As an internet-based retailer of lighting and home furnishings, it was also important that the space be developed as the physical expression of their online presence with a variety of the lighting fixtures sold by Bellacor showcased throughout the office.

The major gathering spaces of conference rooms and collaborative work areas were placed as blocks in the space, providing organizational structure within the framework of the building for the program of open and private offices. A lighting track pattern of varied height and orientation further reinforces these localized conditions, breaking down the open office and creating smaller settings for working. These new insertions are subtle, seeking to defer to the qualities of the existing building while establishing a welcoming, refined space that reflects the brand.

One of the unique features of the new workspace is the way it seamlessly blends old and new elements. The design team was able to create a modern office space while maintaining the integrity of the building's original structure. The result is a space that celebrates the past while embracing the future.

Another noteworthy aspect of the project is the attention to detail. From the lighting fixtures to the furniture, every element of the office was carefully selected to create a cohesive and inviting space. The result is an office that feels more like a home than a workspace, making it a comfortable and inspiring place to work.

In conclusion, Bellacor's new workspace is a perfect example of how to create a modern office space while respecting the past. The design team was able to create a beautiful and functional workspace that celebrates the building's history while providing a welcoming, modern atmosphere. The result is a space that reflects the Bellacor brand and is sure to inspire its employees for years to come.
