“When we were looking to move into a new space, we knew we wanted to freshen it up to reflect our brand. We do sell scooters, after all! We came in not knowing what to expect in terms of cost and options for the space, but were confident in Kentwood’s ability to take us from the starting line to the finish.
They were on top of seemingly every detail and were able to provide expertise when we got stuck on layout, finishes, and beyond. Each member of the staff who had a hand in our project was professional, great listeners, and had good design sense! We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.”

June 29th, 2017 by Paula McCartyCompass Insurance Agency’s growth since its founding in 2009 required a move from its 5,000 square-foot space to a 15,000 square foot space on the city’s West Side. The insurance agency looked for a space that would help them attract and retain the best talent and continue its pattern of growth. The selected space was renovated into a beautiful, open-concept office space which included clean, fresh furnishings, ease of power accessibility and an added edge utilizing Trendway Volo glass walls. Kentwood’s designers proposed a palette featuring neutral wood grains, navy fabrics, and metallic finishes, along with a pop of color drawn from the orange found in their company logo. A group effort from Kentwood’s design, project management, and installation teams captured the energy of the new space and stayed on schedule for their move-in date.

The designer selected Motivate chairs and stools for the waiting area which meet requirements for comfort and durability.
New comprehensive space designed to serve the community’s Health Needs
May 10th, 2016 by Paula McCartyA local health care organization was looking to improve their community health care program. To do so, they needed to move from their current location to a new building that was better located and had more space. To complete their health care offerings, they partnered with a dental clinic and a mental health counseling service. While they had some furniture pieces that could be reused, they needed to replace many old, worn out and mismatched pieces. Kentwood Office worked with the client to create a cohesive design and efficient space plan. Kentwood suggested remanufactured Herman Miller stations to outfit the space with functional, up to date stations to house staff and residents in training. The use of glass stackers kept the space open and full of natural light. Trendway TrendWall was the perfect floor-to-ceiling application to create additional private offices that could easily adjust with future changing needs.
