MNCPPC Headquarters
ISTUDIO worked with Planning and Parks agencies to create custom furniture and wall finishes unique to each space using locally sourced Ashwood from trees decimated by invasive beetles. The team created signage to tell the cautionary story of environmental loss and reuse. Work included site visits to select wood, coordination with the mill on sizing, and selection of a millworker with experience in working with custom wood.
Colorful graphic walls dovetail with the installations, providing orientation and information on the programs and history of each group. Design services for this 80,000 sf LEED-CI headquarters in Wheaton, Maryland included custom furniture design, millwork, signage, graphics, and LEED processing.
