American Gaming Association’s new CEO had a vision for a bright and contemporary office space that would showcase the gaming industry as much as possible while providing a setting where staff can be productive.

Gaming industry imagery was incorporated through the use of over-sized graphics applied to walls as wall-covering. Elements taken directly from the industry such as a poker table used for conferencing and slot machines as a back-drop to the staff lounge add to the effect of “living in the game.” Metal etchings of famous gambling venues are located throughout the space as well.

After a move from the third to the tenth floor of its DuPont Circle- area building, international contract furniture company, Global Industries tapped HBW Group to build out their new showroom. The mandate was to showcase the company’s commitment to sustainable design in a fresh, modern space. The result is a light-filled showroom enhanced by city views that ably meets LEED Silver requirements.

The space includes a sleek reception area, with a recycled concrete counter paired with a backlit tinted-glass base. Modular FLOR carpets and Trend Q engineered stone tile clad the floors. The extensive showroom offers multiple product-display vignettes.

Light finished and reflective ceiling materials were used for a modern aesthetic, constructing a minimal number of walls so as not to obstruct natural light. The lighting plan ensured that products would be effectively highlighted in the showroom while still meeting LEED standards.
