Be you. Do you. For you. This is not an ego post. Like you, we’re all about clients, coworkers and industry partners. But even with an others-first mentality, we still believe in being nice to self.…and if you do too, that might mean taking yourself out to lunch every now and then, making time to read your favorite book, or trading the …
Service is Golden
Picture this: you land a date with a real showstopper, but not long after you’ve ordered an appetizer, it becomes apparent that when it comes to personality, your attractive companion has none. Love at first sight is now strained conversation, and finally you realize…it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Not a dater (lucky you)?! Here’s application two: clients may …
Balance in an Open Plan
When forced with choosing between one extreme or the other, most people default to the happy medium. The stark comparison between the old school office plan of cubie farms and private offices versus the new, vastly open and collaborative office plan is no different. Both have aspects that function and that people genuinely like. …
Bike Storage
Local police departments store an array of evidence, weapons, and equipment, but one of the sometimes forgotten items takes up the most space… bicycles! When bikes are lost or recovered from a theft, they’re often stored at the local police department until they’re claimed by their rightful owners. This can pose storage challenges as unclaimed bikes stack up quickly. If …
Out With (Some of) the Old
Interior Solutions realizes that 100% new furniture or new storage may not be the best fit for every client and we are happy to integrate existing furniture and storage within a new space plan. And just because we haven’t done it before, doesn’t mean we can’t do it. Take for example, one university’s integration of existing shelving with new Spacesaver …

Spacesaver for Wrigley Gum
Wrigley’s Global Innovation Center in Chicago chose Spacesaver’s compact shelving systems to store large quantities of gum flavorings in a limited space. Other than the obvious saved space, two major factors lead Wrigley to install Spacesaver: convenient access to the flavorings and proper air circulation to maintain the flavorings’ integrity. Nobody wants diluted cinnamon gum after all! While Spacesaver’s compact …
Millennials in Construction
Much has been written about millennials and how they differ from previous generations in their approach to work – and careers in general. Indeed, we see millennials often unfairly saddled with the dubious reputation for being entitled, disloyal, self-centered or optimistic go-getters, but it turns out that they are actually not that different from their older work colleagues. In fact, …
ULI Trends Day 2017
Last week commercial real estate professionals, general contractors, developers and industry-related vendors gathered at ULI Trends Day to discuss what’s next for Phoenix. Overall, the real estate climate is very positive. At the start of 2017, office space vacancy is at 17% and industrial warehouse vacancy is at an impressive 9%. This is the lowest vacancy has been in Arizona …
Uptown Plaza Restoration
The Phoenix metro area is growing like a 12 year old boy who just had his first growth spirt! It can be a little overwhelming to look at the whole city, so we’d like to break it down and examine one small pocket to see just how many “inches” Phoenix really is gaining. Take the Northwest corner of Central Ave. …
