Seaport District / Boston, MA

Office

Integrated at Work (IAW) provided project management, procurement, and installation services for the interior fit-out of the Reebok Headquarters, located in the Boston seaport.

The Reebok HQ spans 220,000 SF across five floors and houses more than 700 employees. Designed by Gensler, the goal was to create a more dynamic environment that would encourage collaboration and innovation utilizing an open-plan design. The new facility includes collaborative work areas, conference rooms, client showrooms, a design lab, a production studio, a retail store, and a two-story 30,000 SF gym comprised of a raised Cross-Fit floor, boxing ring, free weight and stationary equipment, and interactive classrooms for fitness, dance, yoga, and spin.

For this state-of-the-art complex, general contractor Gilbane knew they could rely on Integrated Interiors to deliver strong results. IAW installed over 2,000 LF of Haworth’s Enclose Frameless Glass (EFG) wall system.  EFG offers a simple yet sophisticated design with the lowest base profile in the industry which allows for maximum daylight to permeate throughout the space, unobstructed by frames. With the look and feel of fixed construction, EFG walls offer space-saving, easily adaptable options to create comfortable workspaces while also supporting privacy needs in an open-office environment. To further enhance the beauty and uniqueness of the space, IAW provided fully customized color-stained wood doors.  

The Reebok HQ project is en route to receiving LEED certification and has won two prestigious design industry awards: (1) 2018 Workspace over 80,000 SF, IIDA New England, (2) Award of Merit Interior Design, ENR New England.

Integrated at Work (IAW) has been Takeda’s exclusive provider of modular architectural solutions in Massachusetts for the past 10 years. During this time, IAW has delivered a range of innovative solutions, including 15,000 linear feet of Haworth Enclose demountable walls, above-ceiling modular power distribution, high-acoustic value wall treatments, and wireless sound masking technology.

In collaboration with our partner, Environments at Work (EAW), our team has successfully completed projects for eight buildings across two campuses.

For the project at 95 Hayden Avenue, IAW designed and installed over 15,000 linear feet of moveable walls. These walls effectively divide spaces while allowing for quick and easy reconfigurations to support Takeda’s anticipated growth. The layout includes both open and enclosed offices, meeting and conference rooms, and community areas.

The Social Register

Seaport District / Boston, MA

Hospitality/Retail

Integrated at Work (IAW) completed a raised access floor project for The Social Register, a restaurant within the A Loft Boston Seaport Hotel. Located on the first floor of the 13-story hotel, the upscale restaurant and lounge offers two bar areas, seating for 200, and is situated just across the street from the Seaport’s popular outdoor summer space, Lawn on D.

IAW furnished and installed over 5,000 square feet of TecCrete 1250 Bare Concrete 1” thick panels.  With a finished floor height of 18” off depressed concrete slab, our raised flooring system was the perfect solution for increasing sightlines and accommodating the plumbing for this hospitality space.

For this fashionable and high-performance space, IAW recommended using a decorative floor finish application especially designed for heavy traffic commercial use.  Wicanders’ integrated cork underlay serves several purposes: (1) reinforces thermal and acoustic properties, resulting in a silent environment and important energy cost savings; (2) provides superior comfort, noise reduction and warmth; and (3) achieves a decorative, natural veneer that authentically complements the vibe of the space.

AT&T

Boylston Street / Boston, MA

Office, Hospitality/Retail

AT&T recently underwent a brand evolution including a new expression of the company’s retail stores.  According to the architect, CallisonRTKL, AT&T’s current mission is to humanize the technology shopping experience, so customers naturally approach and engage with their latest products and services. Integrated Interiors (II) was selected to help bring this vision to life for the flagship store in Boston’s Back Bay, as well as several other locations in Massachusetts.

For AT&T Back Bay, II procured and installed over 5,000 SF of TecCrete raised access flooring. TecCrete offers several multifaceted solutions for retail space. The concrete and steel composite panels and pedestal system create a solid sensation underfoot for a very walkable surface for customers. Highly versatile, TecCrete panels allow for a wide variety of flooring applications and finishes.  For AT&T the design team chose a combination of bare panels finished with field-applied clear stain or panels covered with carpet tiles. The panels with carpet were installed at a subtly depressed height creating a flush, smooth transition between the mixed materials, offering a modern look and feel, and providing an additional layer of comfort for standing customers.

Unique challenges for this job included delivery and install during a wicked nor’ester, and finishing the project in time for the Boston marathon – II was successful on both!

Partners Healthcare

Largest UFAD project in New England to date

Office, Healthcare

Integrated at Work (IAW) completed a massive raised access flooring (RAF) and underfloor air distribution (UFAD) project for Partners HealthCare at Assembly Row in Somerville, Massachusetts. This project was so huge it required 200 truckloads of material to complete!

The project consisted of a new 900,000 SF commercial office building which houses about 4,500 employees and incorporates significant green building and resiliency features to meet LEED v4 Gold certification standards.

For Partners, developing a new site for their headquarters presented an exciting opportunity to create a healthy and environmentally responsible building and II offered product solutions to help make that happen. Using raised access flooring provides the benefits of quick accessibility to power and ease of reconfiguration, while UFAD provides occupants fresher, cleaner air and the comfort of personal environment temperature control. Combined, RAF & UFAD optimize maximum energy efficiency and lower energy and maintenance costs.

Partners HealthCare Project Industry Recognition:

  • Building Team Award – Silver Award, Building Design + Construction (2017)
  • Awards of Excellence – Workplace Award, CoreNet Global – New England Chapter
  • Best New Construction Project Category (2017)
  • #8 on the Boston Business Journal’s “Largest Construction Projects in Massachusetts” list (2017)

Television Place / Needham, MA

Office

Integrated at Work (IAW) was excited to be a part of the renovations team for the WCVB-TV & Chronicle newsroom. The 22,550 SF, Channel 5 headquarters located in Needham, MA, underwent extensive modifications to create a space that encourages collaboration and productivity.

According to Gorman Richardson Lewis Architects (GRLA), the designers wanted to give the news team “a vibrant, open, and inspiring space that would make them excited to come to work and help them be more productive.” IAW provided several product solutions to make that happen.  Tasked with a need for natural daylighting as well as state-of-the-art office systems and conference spaces, IAW supplied Frameless Glass Fronts with Klein Rollglass Doors. The glass wall panels maximize light and the brushed steel locking ladder pulls enhance the modern and clean design. IAW also procured and installed 15,000 SF of raised access flooring (RAF) for this project.

The RAF solution worked threefold:  

  1.  Leveled out the uneven concrete slab condition of the original floor.
  2. Installed at 10” FFH, the first layer allowed for all power, data, and plumbing to be rerouted underneath the floor with easy access for facilities management.
  3. A second layer of RAF at 14” FFH was added to elevate the information main desk, accentuating the central focal point of the design layout.

A unique aspect of this project involved the addition of specialty glass tiles.  Installed along the perimeter of the floorplan, lighting was affixed underneath the tiles to shine and highlight the large “ribbons” of WCVB-TV5’s signature red that the designers interwoven throughout the space.

Memorial Drive / Cambridge, MA

Office, Science/Tech

Integrated at Work (IAW) completed a challenging and dynamic project for the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center (NERD), located in the innovative Kendall Square district of Cambridge, MA.

Renovations centered around evolving out of an isolated 100% private office environment, into a more modern, open, and mobile space.  Keeping this in mind, IAW offered several uniquely tailored product solutions for enhancing transparency and increasing versatility.

IAW installed over 2,500 LF of the Haworth Trivati modular wall system. Trivati offers the highest levels of quality and performance and provides the ultimate in space planning freedom.

As a demountable wall system, Trivati offers a flexible long-term solution for changing environments. Its adaptable design ensures interchangeability and reuse, saving installation time and costs and eliminating unnecessary waste.  In an open office environment, sound transmission is of vital importance and Trivati delivers the best acoustical privacy in the market, earning even higher STC ratings than traditional drywall and other demountable wall systems.

IAW solutions also included an interior glass and glazing package including entryway doors, whiteboards, customized back-painted glass, and bathroom mirrors.  

We are proud to announce that the Sasaki-designed Microsoft NERD Center won Best Workspace Over 80,000 square feet at the annual International Interior Design Association New England (IIDA NE) Design Awards for 2019. Congratulations to the entire Microsoft project team!
