Point of difference
We wanted Zone 23 to be a different type of commercial space, one that has a strong individual feel an iconic building whose brand and positioning would rub off on its occupants, says developer Mark Weipers
A testament to Zone 23's quality standards is that both developer and architect took space within the building. With the office interiors as cutting edge as the exterior, the furniture elements had to be of an equally high standard. The designer knew the look they wanted, but a professional furniture consultant outfitted the rooms.
Office Concepts took the interior designer's requirements and put together a complete package for the spaces, says owner Maureen Pearce.
"The advantage of bringing in Office Concepts is that we know the furniture industry backwards, including which manufacturers to approach for which products, in terms of both quality and price," she says. "For these spaces, we were asked for pieces that would reflect the semi-industrial feel of the complex. For example, the Manhattan desking range with its strong, square leg profiles was an appropriate choice."
The company has been in business for over 25 years, putting together packages for architects, developers, specifiers and corporate clients.
