Gray Completes Impact Strategies Headquarters

Gray Design Group completed architectural and interior design services for the new 20,000-square-foot, multi-tenant Fountains Court Building in Fairview Heights, Ill., which houses the 5,000-square-foot headquarters of commercial builder, Impact Strategies. Gray’s design team created a brand identity consistent with Impact’s corporate image, using multi-textural interior and exterior materials and exposed structure as prominent design features.

“We worked with Impact on creating a facility that highlights its excellent craftsmanship skills,” said Wendy Gray, principal, Gray Design Group. “The usage of exterior materials allowed us to maximize the design budget while creating a very unique atmosphere that evokes a strong architectural presence and quality.”
 
Impact’s clients are greeted with a gridded glass wall of varied glass types and colors that acts as a shared backdrop central to both reception and the client collaboration center. A large, centrally located kitchen/lounge doubles as additional meeting space.
 
Gray’s design team included Gray and Principal Toby Heddinghaus, along with project manager Ashley Smith.
 
Gray is a leader in creating spaces that are true reflections of companies’ brand identities. The firm recently won the Award of Merit in Midwest Construction’s Best of 2008 competition for its interior design work on KPFF Consulting Engineers’ office in Des Peres, Mo.
