Design Concept Statement
In Inver Grove Heights, the Rickert family has plans to build their
first home. The home will be enjoyable for the family and all of their
guests due to the unique, transitional design. Special accommodations
will be taken into consideration to incorporate an elevator, home
therapy room, and home gym for Josh, Ashlee and their son Levi who
suffers from a chronic disorder that is harmful to his brain. Energy and
movement, as well as earth tones, textures, and glass, will allow for
Josh, Ashlee, and Levi to have a functional and uplifting place to make
memories as a growing family.

Client Profile
Hope & Hopkins Strategies is a full service public relations firm. They
generate news coverage about the activities, accomplishments, products, and
HOPKINS
expertise of small to medium sized businesses. Their staff consists of
consultants, writers, and graphic designers who create press releases, marketing
strategies, and media relations’ tactics. They are a progressive group and are
highly interactive. They rely on the team approach to their business, which has
proven successful for the company. The staff strives to cultivate their energetic
work style as well as maintain a professional image.
Design Concept Statement
On the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis, an old building houses a full-
service public relations firm known as Hope & Hopkins. Hope & Hopkins
showcase the work of small to medium sized, conservative businesses and also
advertise products or activities hosted by businesses.
The staff at Hope & Hopkins may focus on different areas as individuals;
however, they all rely on each other and work as a team to successfully
complete their tasks at hand. With that, collaboration and interaction is
greatly encouraged. Their energetic work style continues to demonstrate their
achievements, and an open space will allow employees to work together.
To maintain their highly interactive work style, a variety of Haworth’s
systems furniture was arranged in such a way throughout the space to
promote a group effort and cooperation on projects. The professional
reputation that Hope & Hopkins has built for themselves will remain through
the use of a neutral color palette, including light grays, tans, and just a few
splashes of color. Because the building shell includes such a strong
architectural element, the curve was mimicked in the space to create
repetition and provide interest. This curved element will be covered in a multi-
colored, textured, somewhat metallic wall covering to generate an attractive, PROGRAMMING
unique feature. The space also contains a number of large windows that will
provide natural daylight and be taken advantage of where possible. Natural
light and this color scheme will provide the company with the fresh and
PHASE
energizing, yet classic and professional space Hope & Hopkins required.
