9 months ago What’s a successful recipe for a modern workplace that incorporates a brand’s culture, aesthetic, and aspirations? Start with a partner that understands how to marry a brand and its design intentions.
Just like the ingredients in their flavorful food offerings, the family-owned brand Cedar's Mediterranean Foods sought to create a fresh new corporate headquarters to fit the needs of their growing business adjacent to their manufacturing.

9 months ago Over the course of the design process, there are sustainable steps we as designers can take throughout the project, and Bergmeyer's Daniela Acevedo is here to tell us how its done.
"Building waste accounts for a staggering 35-40% of worldwide waste in landfills, and carbon emissions from both building erection and deconstruction are increasing.
These factors can be daunting when considering whether the design profession is an active or passive player- in the unending game we play each day with environmental management."
