Saltworks Security

OFFICE TENANT IMPROVEMENT & BUILD-OUT

Murfreesboro, TN

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A Collaborative Space for Tech Industry Professionals.

Saltworks, a Georgia-based application security consulting firm, was looking for a location in Middle Tennessee for their new development headquarters. They chose Paradym to create an industrial, contemporary space that will attract new hires from Tennessee’s largest university, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).

The design offers industrial textural finishes using warm reclaimed wood, concrete and metals with pops of their corporate color. Paradym used dynamic ceilings and lighting to define different spaces within the open office.

Paradym strategically emphasized the top floor views by creating a corner living and game room, and centralized work café to anchor the departments and further reinforce their social corporate culture.

Vision.

The execs at Saltworks envisioned a modern industrial workspace with touches of their brand’s bright green and plenty of room for focused individual work, collaborative group sessions and an open common area/break room. Glass and concrete elements would bring the clean, open look they pictured, while neutral textiles and natural textures could provide team members with an inviting, inspiring work environment.

Process.

Because the office space was ready for buildout, Paradym went straight to work on space plans and mood boards. Saltworks stakeholders were particularly interested in the opportunities for space definition, so Paradym used 3D renderings and virtual reality to present options.

Execution.

No structural renovations were necessary in the brand-new building, but Paradym guided Saltworks through the development process with value engineering—choosing finishes and making other design decisions based on priority and budget.

Cool Springs/Franklin, TN

PROJECT OVERVIEW

An Eclectic and Inviting Wine Bar.

Vintage Vine 100 owner and resident sommelier Darlene Bailey Thompson wanted to create a singular space with an upscale atmosphere where she could introduce customers to the world’s best wines and serve them carefully selected small plates.

Vision.

Darlene sees wine-making as the intersection of farming, science and art—a combination of disciplines she holds dear. Bringing together modern, vintage and rustic elements would give Vintage Vine 100 an ambience that was both sophisticated and welcoming.

Process.

Mood boards were created to capture the feeling of high-end comfort Darlene was picturing. Lighting was particularly important, as Vintage Vine 100 would need to set the scene not only for cozy get-togethers but also wine tastings and wine appreciation classes. Paradym’s designers set out to maximize the wine bar’s _____ square feet, making the most of every cubic inch and filling every corner with elegance and charm.

Execution.

The building at 4051 Aspen Grove Drive was already under construction but not originally designed with a tenant in mind, allowing for owner/architect/contractor collaboration. Planning the space at that stage of development allowed for some custom-built details, including installing an intricate wood inlay design in the concrete floors and creating a back-bar display that stored at least 100 unique bottles of wine—fulfilling the promise found in the wine bar’s name. Efficiently mapped out rooftop and patio spaces resulted in ample—and Instagrammable—outdoor seating.

Franklin, TN

PROJECT OVERVIEW

An Updated HQ for a Real Estate Group.

Keller Williams Franklin needed to refresh their 11,000-square-foot office space and make it more functional for their staff and agents. The front, client-facing end of the building would get a total renovation, while the remaining areas would be cosmetically updated. 

Vision.

Our client was hoping for a brighter, more open, more comfortable place for their agents to work and meet with clients, so we planned a full redesign for the reception area, conference rooms and agent lounge. We would bring in more natural light, then raise the ceilings and incorporate architectural glass walls to allow the light to flow through the space. Making the office a convenient and functional place for agents would reach beyond aesthetics and furnishings, though; every space would be tech-forward and built for productivity.

Process.

We gutted and renovated the 3,000 square feet at the front of the building, overhauling the reception area and redesigning the conference rooms and agent lounge. The remaining 8,000 square feet was situated behind this client-facing space. It housed offices and only needed restyling: carpet, paint and furniture.

Execution.

It was important to learn how the Keller Williams Franklin agents worked, because an updated office should be stylish and interesting but also efficient. That meant effective space planning, with room for large meetings, small groups and private conversations—all with the latest technology. We kept touches of their brand red and introduced wood tones, black metal, angles and lots of glass. The result was a fresh and functional local HQ that met our clients goals on a modest budget.
