Colonnade Office Furniture Renovation in the United States: A Model Practice for the Renewal of Old Buildings Address: Golden Valley, Minnesota, USA | Area: 51097 square meters | Date: 2024 Core keywords Office building renovation, customized office furniture, public leisure facilities, tenant clubs, rental rate optimization, user centered design 01. Project Background and Challenges The Colonnade Building, a postmodern building built in 1988, was once a symbol of the times with its pink granite decorations and water themed atrium design. However, with the iteration of office space requirements, its original facilities (such as traditional self-service restaurants and single meeting rooms) are no longer able to meet the needs of modern enterprises. The core challenges faced by the Studio BV team are: Asset activation: How to preserve the historical features of buildings while enhancing their commercial value Functional refactoring: Transforming outdated spaces into office environments that conform to the trends of the post pandemic era 02. Hard Decoration Renovation: Balancing History and Modernity The design team solved the transformation problem of granite, an iconic element, through innovative methods: Material restructuring: Wrap the vertical granite structure with gypsum board, reshape the column foundation with quartz stone, which not only reduces the load but also maintains material coordination Color narrative: Retain the Kasota limestone floor, with pure white walls as the base, forming a visual dialogue between blush granite and contemporary minimalism Space Purification: Highlighting the artistic value of historical materials through subtractive design, creating an office texture that conforms to modern aesthetics
