Kott Lumber

Located in the Township of Uxbridge, KOTT is a trusted one-stop source for premium lumber and framing materials, as well as home exterior products and services. With an in-house design team, they work collaboratively with clients to create customized layouts and price quotes for their roof trusses, floor systems, or panelized components.

Recently, KOTT reached out to Studio Forma to help them transform their outdated and dysfunctional office space into a more functional and inspiring environment. The previous space was compartmentalized, with unreasonably large offices and poor use of space, which was affecting staff efficiency and productivity.

To address these issues, Studio Forma developed a more open concept design that combines open workstation space with private offices. The use of glass fronts for private offices allows natural light to continue to flow through the central core open workstation area, creating a bright and airy feel.

To reflect the agrarian character and location of the business, the interior material selection includes half-sawn hemlock wall cladding, stack logs wall covering, blackened steel logo, and charming Farrow&Ball wallpaper that depicts an old-fashioned farm. The addition of marker board paint throughout the space facilitates collaboration and ideation among the team.

The lower level of the office had low ceilings, which presented a challenge. However, by raising the ceiling height, Studio Forma was able to create a full lunch room, lounge area, impromptu work areas, large boardroom, and plenty of storage. Architectural lighting inset into the wall vertically visually extends the height and makes the area feel even more spacious.

The new office design includes a tech room, kitchenette, reception area, meeting room, seven new offices, shipping area, designer area, and eight additional workstations. The space now not only retains its rural atmosphere but is enriched with incredible functionality and style. The result is a space that is practical, functional, and tailored to the needs of the team, providing ample room for growth and fostering a productive work environment.
