Firm: Kim Ronemus Design, Westport, CT
Look and feel of the office: The office was originally the first gas station in town and remained in service until the ’70s. Vestiges of that previous life have been maintained and can be seen in everything from the building’s cement floors to the aluminum paint. “It has a great industrial vibe to it,” says Kim Ronemus, principal.
Goal of the workspace’s design: To maintain the original integrity of the workspace and repurpose it to function as a working design space.
Favorite element of the office: “The old heating system,” Ronemus says. “A network of black piping wraps around the office. It’s not functional but adds to the charm of the space.”
Workspace’s influence on creativity: The space has an open floor plan, which allows for spontaneous interactions and brainstorming sessions. “And we look out to a field that is a continual parade of deer, turkeys, ground hogs and rabbits,” Ronemus adds.
