2020’s Projects of the Year
As we look back on our 12 projects of 2020, we’re proud to revisit these functional, impactful spaces we’ve developed for our clients. This year we’ve had the opportunity to work with talented design firms to furnish workspaces that highlighted our clients in unique, thoughtful ways.
Here are our key project highlights from 2020.
