This ambitious flooring project transformed four levels of commercial space into a cutting-edge office environment, serving as a template for future designs. Spanning 6,730 square yards of carpet tile, 26,000 square feet of cork flooring, 7,250 square feet of porcelain tile, and 14,400 linear feet of rubber base, the scale was massive. Despite a schedule that typically requires 3-4 months, our dedicated team of up to 30 installers across five crews delivered substantial completion in just three weeks. The result? A visually stunning, next-generation workspace—complete with living trees inside the building—that sets a new standard for modern office design.
