“Working with PBD was an incredible process that was always collaborative, engaging, and enjoyable. We built a great future home for Wilson Dow together and it always felt like the PBD team knew exactly where we were heading. Personally, I always looked forward to our daily interactions with the PBD team and the strategy sessions we had prior to putting anything into the design. The outcome was even better than all of us had dreamed or imagined! Wilson Dow is now home, thanks to the PBD team.”

“Being able to make design decisions alongside the experts at PBD was a dream come true for me. The entire team was thoughtful and kind and made the process so much fun. They took the time to get to know our culture and helped bring it to life through the options they presented, always making us feel like we were the center of how the final outcome would look and feel. Ultimately, it felt like they were part of our team and that’s what makes the finished product feel like a true home for Wilson Dow.”

Partners by Design has skillfully reimagined Wilson Dow’s office space, capturing the essence of the company’s vibrant culture and expertise in orchestrating large-scale events worldwide. The project reflects Wilson Dow’s theatrical heritage and dynamic team, resulting in a workspace that radiates “livable sophistication” while maintaining a dramatic flair.
The design ethos revolves around mirroring the grandeur of Wilson Dow’s events while serving as a cultural reflection of their team. Subtle design elements, such as innovative lighting and dark ceilings, create depth and contrast, making the space feel both intimate and expansive. A bold yet muted color palette adds vibrancy while maintaining a professional aesthetic. The reception area lighting sets a high-drama tone, leaving a lasting impression on visitors.
The office features unexpected elements like a cozy fireplace and a wine bar, showcasing Wilson Dow’s hospitality and extensive wine collection. Theater-inspired curtains and drapery play a pivotal role, creating moments of reveal and adding drama while modulating natural light and providing privacy.
Spaces cater to diverse needs, from townhall events to intimate huddle rooms, with lounge-style conference rooms emphasizing comfort and relaxation. A viewing room/green room and recording booth offer multipurpose functionality, while unique naming conventions and furniture selections reflect the team’s global work and diverse influences.
The collaboration between Wilson Dow, Partners by Design, and project manager Cresa was seamless, resulting in a space that perfectly aligns with Wilson Dow’s vision. This transformation highlights the power of thoughtful design in creating a workspace that reflects a company’s culture while meeting its operational needs.
