	Provide a new Corporate Headquarters for Paradigm Design
	Provide additional tenant lease space to allow maximum site utilization
	Difficult existing land terrain and wetland areas required unique design solution
	Adjacent residential neighborhood needed special attention
	Provide both employees and clients with quality spaces filled with natural light, efficient layouts and ease of access to both management and resources

1. Reception Area:
	Clients are welcomed by a spacious lobby and generous view to the exterior provided by sloped sky light glazing along the entire south interior wall.
2. Conference Room:
	Located directly adjacent to lobby for client convenience and within view of front receptionist control area for prompt assistance if required
3. Workroom Area:
	Located in the center of the office space, the workroom was positioned to be easily accessible to entire secretarial, drafting and management staff
4. Support Areas:
	Office support spaces such as storage, toilets, reference library and break room were also located to be as close proximity as possible to the entire staff for added comfort and convenience.
5. Studio Space:
	The premium quality areas within the office were uniquely laid out to benefit the staff rather then the commonly seen layouts that offer the best spaces to the higher management positions. Employee retainment and recruitment opportunities have benefited due to this design decision.
6. Management Offices:
	The clear separation of the management offices from one another and the relative close proximity of these offices to the studio areas was a conscious decision to influence more interaction between management and staff, increasing both company morale and office efficiency.
