Design Solutions - Summer 2008 - (Page 49) H a n d s - o n C o o r d i n at i o n “The woodwork on this project could not have been properly executed without hands-on coordination between the architect and the woodworking firm,” says Farrington. “Although we could draw details based on experience and previously successful solutions, we relied on ONSITE’s expertise and craftsmanship to develop details and coordinate with field conditions while achieving the expected quality and maintaining design intent.” “We facilitated information coordination to keep the project moving forward,” says Belisle. “We made hardware recommendations; we provided a plywood template to the general contractor to build the conference room walls; we set up conference calls with the architectural firm to help clarify intent on complex details.” “We have a very comfortable and friendly relationship with all the individuals from Farrington Design Group,” he adds. “We all look forward to working with them again.” How does the client feel? “We love the lobby!” exclaims Collett. “The faceted wood soffits cleverly create a false perspective as they slant downward towards the window wall to the building exterior. ONSITE Project Manager Jim Belisle was great to work with; he alwayus took our ideas to the shop and helped bring our vision together.” Project: Project Owner: Woodworker: Designer: General Contractor: Photographer: Premiere Global Corporate Offices Premiere Global Services, Inc.
