Sustainable Office Transformation in Chicago

Client Challenge

A fast-growing tech startup sought to redesign their 12,000 sq. ft. Chicago headquarters while achieving LEED Gold certification. Key requirements included:

• Low-waste material solutions for high-visibility areas
• Durable surfaces for collaborative workspaces
• Circular design-compatible materials

Innovative Solution

We specified 8mm Thin Quartz Stone in "Basalt Black" for:

• 1,200 sq. ft. of accent walls
• 12 collaborative work tables
• Reception desk cladding

The slim profile reduced raw material consumption by 25% compared to traditional 20mm slabs while maintaining full structural integrity.

"The quartz surfaces became both an aesthetic centerpiece and sustainability statement." - Startup COO
