BLUE GRACE LOGISTICS

From the initial kickoff meeting to completion, this project is filled with collaborative energy and cultural pride. An active partnership between Jewel Toned Interiors and Blue Grace Logistics, the client provided insight into the BGL philosophy from beginning to end. Not only did they embark on an expansion of their existing space, doubling their interior work space, also rebranding their company’s image and iconic elements.

This modern and team enthused space is inspired and driven by colorful environments that encourage thinking outside the box. Blue Grace’s five core values are displayed prominently in the center of the office and act as the catalyst for many of the design decisions:

Vibrant and playful colors are generously used throughout the Blue Grace office from hexagon carpet tiles to custom wall graphics. These large scale graphics are intentionally placed to divide the space and assist in way finding. Collaborative break out zones are located casually throughout the office to intersect the workstations, promoting a quick meeting or break. The larger collaborative area is a perfect spot for group huddles or informal in-house team meetings. With comfortable stacked seating across from the IT think tank similar to stadium bleachers, it is easy to cheer on a fellow employee during team activities.

Blue Grace Logistics is primarily a technology company that connects the country with shipment delivery via trucks, boats, trains and planes. The selection of materials and finishes relate directly to the technology and transportation services. The dark charcoals and grays represent roads or plane tarmacs, while the yellow, green and orange bring the pop of color often seen in road signs. The existing repurposed wood wall is very significant for Blue Grace, as wood pallets are a crucial element to their delivery services. Large scale maps are not only used aesthetically, but as an active writing surface to indicate ongoing shipments. The design of this corporate office has been an extraordinary journey, and we are happy to see the final result come to fulfillment.
