Hapaq-Lloyd - Corporate Headquarters Interior Renovation (23,000 sf) Due to water damage on the top floor of their headquarters building, Hapaq-Lloyd needed to address their executive office area along with several supporting functions housed on the same floor. Given the nature of the damage, they decided to reexamine these areas to see how they could gain more efficiencies as well as upgrade the various offices including the executive suite, public areas and refreshment stations. Business continuity needs required some staff to be relocated immediately since sections of the floor were not able to be used. In discussing the requirements with the client, it was determined that the work needed to be completed in phases, addressing the need of relocating staff and renovating specific sections of the floor at a time. With that in mind, JRS worked on various design concepts. A key objective was to integrate their brand and more specific company colors of orange and grey, into the final solution that was “clean” and “fresh”. After extensive research on finishes, JRS found a combination that fully satisfied the client from both a design and budgetary perspective. JRS then utilized their in-house 3-D rendering capabilities to provide various views of the proposed spaces and finishes with the client actively involved in the process. JRS also introduced art and architecture elements related to their business, shipping, as part of the proposed solution. The hallway leading into the executive suite created a gallery on the history of shipping. Projecting wall panels framed photographs and models of the shipping industry. These wall panels played off the construction of ships. Panels of wood reflecting the older ships and then a mix of metal panels to reflect modern shipping. The renderings provided the client with multiple perspectives of the executive area and supporting spaces to give a complete view of the proposed solutions.
