An Announcement from Partners by Design

Friends of PBD,

Based on the latest developments with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that it is in the best interest and safety of our staff to actively implement a work from home policy, starting Wednesday, March 18, 2020.

The health and well-being of our staff and their families, along with that of our friends and clients is our top priority.

We have been preparing with investments in programs, which include remote software systems, to allow for our temporary work from home policy. We expect to provide the same high level of service which we have maintained and are known for.

We will monitor this on a day-by-day basis and provide updates as we know more. Thank you for your continued support of Partners by Design.

With a “beginner’s” risk-taking mentality, the company seeks to create a culture that thrives on seeking unusual and innovative solutions to some of the most complex problems of our time.

This cutting-edge work lounge design reimagines traditional workspaces, offering individual cluster areas inspired by Chicago’s Riverwalk. Inspired by the “Jetty” on the Riverwalk and adorned with Chicago native wildflowers and grasses, integrated lights are scattered throughout the greenery to mimic fireflies, creating a magical ambiance. Walking through this space evokes the feeling of transitioning from the Riverwalk into a summer meadow. Shrouded seating groups mirror the enclaves of the river walk, while adjacent Creator Spaces like a barista bar and pizza kitchen add vibrancy and variety. The result is a dynamic and visually stimulating environment that seamlessly integrates nature, creativity, and functionality for a positive work experience. @pinterest
