Youthfront Headquarters

Sometimes a project comes along that when you meet the people involved you know it is going to be a special project. Youthfront's new corporate office buildings was one of those special projects. Natasha Nikkel cam into Lucas Commercial Flooring's office in 2016 looking for a little help with the finish selections on their new office building. Immediately, we could tell Natasha was a stylish person with an idea of what she wanted to see reflected in the office building. 

The first step of the process was creating a vision board of the space, based on inspiration images of that idea. Natasha gathered images that leaned toward Mid-Century Modern, with a focus on function, clean lines, and combinations of materials. 

With these images to guide the way, a color palette was determined as the base of the design, and flooring options were mulled over to balance budget, style, and performance. The process began with reviewing options for the main carpet and hard surface to provide clean lines and deliberate color accents. 

​At this point, Natasha presented the view of the exterior created by Integral Design Architecture. The beautiful tower windows gave inspiration for some of the accent products introduced in the conference and training rooms. These products started with the clean lines of the overall design, but added interest mimicking the angles of the windows. This created interest and cohesion from outside to inside and throughout the building. 

Building on the accents and styles, cabinetry finishes were reviewed and selected, continuing the tailored and sophisticated design while combining different materials for texture and interest. Furniture and lighting were the final touches that Natasha worked with our partners Convergence Lighting and Contract Furnishings to make selections that would compliment the overall feel of the office. 

"Lucas Commercial Flooring was wonderful to work with. Dana consistently provided a number of quality options for us to select from, mindful of both our design and our budget. We are thrilled with the outcome and have no doubt her creative solutions helped our project look amazing. We look forward to working with Dana again on our future projects. "

​We were pleased to see the outcome of the project at Youthfront's open house on June 20, 2019, and we congratulate them on a successful project that will give them a long-lasting home in the 47!
