Bellevue HealthCare, a locally owned and operated medical supplier, has been in business in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade. So when they approached us to design a new headquarters for them in the heart of Redmond, we were thrilled! Their new home is located in a 13,360sf office building. Adding new interior partitions, we were able to create multiple open work areas, coupled with playful independent office pods. Additionally, a generously appointed kitchen and employee lounge were added, as well as updates to the conference room and reception area. Working in tandem with the builder, DLH, many of the existing elements were re-purposed and given new life. All new finishes were selected and the space is now sporting an edgy, raw aesthetic. This once cavernous and dull office space is now an upbeat and exciting place to work.

The early stages of design development for Bar Harbor, started with a materials mood board. The design for Bar Harbor was inspired by the overall concept of transporting the Atlantic Northeast to the Pacific Northwest. As a result, the design takes inspiration from New England coastal eateries, using natural wood, hand painted elements and nautical details to recall the characteristics of a Maine lobster shack experience reinterpreted for a contemporary northwest context. Happy Mood Board Monday!

One of the first deliverables (and arguably one of the most important) of any design project is a mood board. This collection of inspiration images serves as a visual road map throughout the design process, allowing you and your designer to create a cohesive look & feel (concept) for your space. Inspiration images can be as abstract and seemingly unrelated to architecture as fashion, artwork, food or travel photography. Sometimes, the more unrelated the better as it allows for more creativity to design a truly unique and personalized space. Below are a few inspiration images from a New England concept paired with ideas for how to relate them back to the final design.
To start, the color palette can be derived from one main inspiration image with the look & feel you are going for. Here, it is beachy, light, casual and clean, with lots of blues and soft neutrals.
For example, here we took the weathered wood look from a boat deck and used that as inspiration for the flooring.
Here the color & texture of nautical rope can appear in a chunky knitted throw.
The bathroom fixture on the right was inspired by nautical equipment, both in the design and finish.
The stripes on these boat covers can be referenced through the color and pattern of fabric choices.
