ImageNet Carrollton
ImageNet located in Carrollton, Texas is a distributor of office products
and services. ImageNet needed to relocate corporate offices from a leased
suburban high rise building to an owned warehouse district. Elliott +
Associates wanted to create high drama with low cost while making the
space functional, efficient, comfortable, dramatic and fun. Located in
a dull grey industrial development the project needed to be a visible,
high impact, landmark location with a memorable corporate image.
Natural light was introduced into the interior with skylights and portholes
punched through the tilt-up concrete walls. A new interior was created
to allow for a covered, climate controlled porch for client meetings,
presentations and lunches. The Texas climate allows this to be an “outdoor
room” with the doors open. The signature “paper wall” greets
guests in the reception area. A spider-web of data and power cords directly
illustrates the idea that the equipment organizes, directs and transforms
the “chaos” into meaningful and useable information.
