"The
space provides a welcoming atmosphere for our clients, who often
comment on how comfortable it feels. It breathes well and
appears to be more spacious than it is."
Dr. Jeff Hall, Family Services Agency of Marin
Improved
Usability, Light Flow + Privacy
We
designed a streamlined, efficient and well-lit tenant improvement
project for the Family Services Agency of Marin's Sausalito
location. This office provides southern Marin with a full
range of mental health services. The program focuses on the
'whole' needs of individuals and families, spanning from pregnancy
through old age. Our goal was to make the most out of the available
space in order to best serve the agency's multi-cultural and
bilingual staff and its highly varied clients.
Key Project Considerations
+
Create
more usable private and group spaces
+
Maximize
both light flow through the office and privacy in selected areas
Project Successes Achieved Through Design
+
The design features sunny private
offices and a large meeting/conference room
+
We used translucent glass panels in
the private offices to allow the light from the windows to be
brought into the interior rooms without sacrificing valuable
privacy
