This particular project was a test run.
We were given the product
information and were set to create a
work setting.
With this setting we were able to
identify advantages and disadvantages
of the Façade product.
5. The Stow Company
Allard Design LLC was hired by Stow to
work with their internal interior design

9. Innovation Typologies
Steelcase's R&D Group has been forging
new territory in developing new ways for
people to work. Through their research
they have created a ground-breaking
Innovation Framework that will be rolled-
out to their top clients and
customers. Allard Design, LLC had been
invited to participate in this work.
Allard Design, LLC was solely responsible
for taking these Innovation Frameworks

a spring board respective to their own
business innovation issues.

13. U.S. District Court
This project we were given the task to
create different settings for the US
District Courts.
We created conference rooms,
meeting spaces, and project rooms.
Then we compiled those settings and
created different neighborhoods.
These settings were shown to the
client to give them a visual on how a
mobile person works and collaborates
today.
17. Venture Asheville
Our Turnstone projects service small to
mid-size businesses.

22. Start Garden
Start Garden is a start up fund and
investment program, located in the
heart of downtown Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
We were given the opportunity to
design this flexible space.
By day, this space is used for a place
where start up companies can come
together and work on their concepts.
The space at night transforms into an
event venue. The space holds
seminars, sponsored art/design
events, and presentations.
The space was designed all around the
flexibility of the space itself.
