Furniture Installations

When Shutts and Bowen, a 110 year old law firm with eight Florida locations, wanted to create a tastefully modern work environment they turned to Common Sense Office Furniture.  Understanding that the staid business of law is changing and the mahogany laden heavy wood sanctuaries of the past needed modernization, they insightfully decided to convert their space to an open more collaborative environment.  Contemporary yet sensible finish selections, a nod to modern cloud storage, and the changing demographics of their work force all come together to make a very livable and comfortable work environment.  Conceived  by Blakeslee Design and put in to practice by Common Sense Furniture and Groupe Lacasse the space sets a new standard for efficient, modernly comfortable, and professional work environment.

Space Coast Credit Union had a unique request for Common Sense Office Furniture in 2017. They wanted their existing Headquarters Building A to have a new floor plan that could facilitate the needs of their various departments. Furnishing this 3-story building had to be accomplished utilizing their existing furniture in a new layout to meet the needs of a changing work environment. Their new Headquarters Building B needed to have a transitional feel while reflecting traditional values.

This 3-story building was furnished with JSI “Vision” and Humanscale “Freedom” chairs for the private offices. Custom quartz was used in the private offices to compliment the design. 9to5 Seating was used for the task and training table chairs while JSI “Olympian” and “Finn Nu” were used for soft seating needs. The conference rooms were furnished with custom Enwork tables and custom quartz tops that have accessible outlets for each individual. Most importantly, this project was accomplished within the budget allocated and the timeframe requested.

Phase 2 of the United States Tennis Association’s Home of American Tennis, completed this past fall, included five buildings in total.  One of those five, the Lodge will provide housing for visiting athletes, short & long term.

The Lodge’s main living area was furnished with fun & comfortable lounge pieces by Arcadia, JSI, and Allermuir. The sleek centerpiece reception counter is by Logiflex with Clarus glass.  The large dining room includes tables by ERG International with beautiful Krystalcast tops and chairs by Sandler Seating.

The Lodge’s living quarters are furnished with bunkable beds and stacking drawers from RT London.

Common Sense Office Furniture finished installing Phase I of the USTA’s Home of American Tennis in Lake Nona the first week in July. Eventually home to over 200 people, the Administration Building features a very modern, open concept with many shared spaces. The grid style workstations from Enwork, are height adjustable and allow employees to both sit and stand, increasing overall productivity.  Custom lockers from Groupe LaCasse keep workstations clutter free and employee’s belongings safe.  The beautiful glass-walled conference rooms feature products from Global.  Throughout the space you’ll find quiet seating areas tucked away, as well as a variety of open-concept furniture from Arcadia, ERG International & Allermuir, which facilitate collaboration.  The lobby features a polished terrazzo floor with comfortable seating from Davis & Carolina. The facility will eventually host numerous professional, amateur and collegiate tournaments as well as other tennis events. For now, the occupants can enjoy their comfortable surroundings furnished by Common Sense Office Furniture.

For the National Restaurant Association, we installed large 8×8 Evolve workstations with cushioned mobile pedestal files and Global storage units, and smaller 60” wide stations outfitted the call center area. In the Exam Processors area, we used AMQ’s height adjustable benching stations with dual monitor arms, also by AMQ.  Frameless glass stacker panels keep the space feeling open while maintaining privacy.

Private offices were furnished with Global Zira casegoods with White Chocolate surfaces and Dark Espresso storage and bases. Guest chairs are Global Islands. The conference rooms feature Global Zira powered tables and Global Accord chairs and the training room includes powered flip and nest tables by Versteel with Global Roma chair with honeycomb back.

Common Sense Office Furniture partnered with a local interior design firm to furnish this beautiful 7^th floor suite in downtown Orlando. Upon entering the suite, you will find a modern yet welcoming space that looks onto the conference room. Have a seat in the JSI BeSPACE modular bench unit,  surrounded by a coordinating glass coffee and side table.

The customer wanted to highlight the beautiful views, which are especially stunning from the glass enclosed conference room.  Adding to the beauty are the JSI Vision veneer boardroom table and JSI Newton chairs, along with a BeSPACE storage/credenza unit on the north wall.

In the executive office, you will find more BeSPACE lounge seating, as well as an Apogee desk and credenza wall unit, and a comfortable Humanscale Freedom chair.

Rounding out the suite, we have Groupe LaCasse CA desking with 9to5 Vault ergonomic chairs, completing the modern and attractive aesthetic.

The Highwoods Landmark 2 project was a collaboration between Common Sense Office Furniture and the Highwoods design team.  The large open atrium included several sitting areas with lounge furniture by Allermuir & Davis, all upholstered in COMs from ArcCom & Momentum.  A beautiful two-sided media table from Bernhardt provides space for casual work and plug & play access, and sleek bent wood stools & chairs from Allermuir paired with round tables from Davis fill the ‘café’ in the lobby’s center.

When PCL construction decided to modernize its new space, they headed in the collaborative open plan direction.

It takes many different departments to complete a construction project, and the collaboration lasts throughout the project until the final coat of paint is applied so accessibility to each department is critical.

Facilitating interaction among the different departments was a central design element yet having space for private discussions was also important. The facility layout has both elements in the right proportion to effectively utilize all of the space under lease.

Each private office is outfitted with custom desks from JSI and workstations were provided by Evolve. The facility includes seating from a range of manufacturers: SitOnIt, Encore, Andreu World, and Sandler Seating.
