Office Expansion and Renovation
This 3rd-floor renovation within Overland Park’s Renaissance I Building transformed an empty and outdated office space into a dynamic, showroom-level workspace for DRI. Driven by expansion, DRI sought a space reflecting their brand and fostering collaboration. The design seamlessly integrates DRI's branding, prioritizing employee well-being and showcasing their design expertise. Numerous private offices, high-tech conference rooms, collaborative workspaces, an employee lounge/kitchen, and product displays now define the space. Specialty lighting, high-quality materials, and brand-integrated graphics create a cohesive environment. Maximizing natural light and strategic space planning enhance workflow. The result: boosted morale, enhanced collaboration, strengthened brand identity, and an attractive environment for top talent.

"Right from our initial meeting, Forge Construction impressed us. They remained deeply involved, offering expert guidance during the architectural design process. Their collaborative approach was invaluable. Throughout construction, our Superintendent was simply fantastic—always willing to go the extra mile. The finished space is truly incredible, especially the Buzzi Shades, which our team adores. What truly sets Forge apart is their willingness to assist beyond the project scope. Forge has remained instrumental in various other office improvements, consistently delivering exceptional results. We're thrilled with our partnership."
