Initial Floorplan
After we decided how much of our space to peel off, the next step was getting an architect on board. I’ve known Jeff Bogart for a long time, and knew I wouldn’t have to spend a lot of time explaining what it is I do. The conversation went something like this…
Doug: Hey Jeff, it’s Doug Hardman.
Jeff: Doug! How are you man?
Doug: I’m great, I’m moving our offices to Cleveland and we need an architect.
Jeff: Where are you moving?
Doug: Tyler Village…it’s at 36th and Superior.
Jeff: Nice. When do you want me to stop by?
Doug: I’m here now. Can you come by?
Jeff: I’ll be there in 40min.
Jeff came out, measured a few things, asked a few questions, and he was off to his office.
Some of the things we were looking for in a space are…
#1: Wide-open area for our developers to collaborate.
#2: I giant-sized conference room where we can sit 10 people and not have to worry about it.
#3: Nice-sized offices for Geoff and I. (I wanted a ginormous one.)
#4: A nice Kitchen with lots of counter space and cabinets.
#5: A lounge where everyone can relax, watch some TV, and play some video games.
#6: Storage for now, and later.
Past that, it’s up to Jeff how he lays out the space.
2 days later, I got an email with this preliminary drawing.
Nice, and close to what we were looking for. We talked for a bit and we’re waiting to see what the changes look like.
