Environetics Receives Several Honors
12.4.09 | Los Angeles, CA | Environetics, an award-winning, full-service commercial interior space planning, design and LEED consulting firm, today announced that it won first place in the international CaesarStone Dream Design Contest and was named one of Los Angeles' Best Commercial Interior Architects for 2009 by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
These honors come following the successful completion of a number of innovative design projects throughout Southern California, and the firm's selection by Lundgren Management Corporation to design the interior of its new building. "2009 has been a year of opportunity for Environetics to create environments that reflect and reinforce our clients' culture and brands while promoting individual achievement and successful teamwork," said Rodney Stone, president of Environetics. 'The response to our work from clients, the industry and the business community clearly shows that our culture and work environment encourages creativity and bold design and empowers our team to excel."
CaesarStone created the Dream Design Contest to showcase the work of innovative designers using the versatile quartz countertops surface. Out of nearly 350 entrants, Stephanie Boldon, senior project director, of Environetics was awarded first place for her work with CapitalSource Bank, which CaesarStone cited for design quality and beauty.
In addition, Environetics was listed in the top 25 of all Commercial Interior Architects in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal. These awards follow a recent announcement from the firm noting its second best small company to work for in Los Angeles in 2009 ranking by Los Angeles Business Journal and the recognition it received from ZweigWhite and Stagnito Media, which pronounced Environetics 2nd best among small architectural firms in the nation in the annual ranking of top industry firms."Our vision at Environetics is to maintain our leadership as sustainable commercial designers in our local and global communities," said Stone.
"Our vision has evolved with a changing planet to transform the built environment. Promoting and building spaces that improve the quality of life for the inhabitants, foster innovation, and protect our environment is an integral part of our mission."This vision led Environetics to the development of its own, aggressive sustainability policy, which includes investing 15% of staff profit sharing to innovative, sustainable and renewable technologies and supporting local non-profit organizations as advisors on a pro-bono level such as the US Green Building Counsel and the United Education Partnership. Recent projects that reflect these ideals include the Urban Education Partnership (UEP) and the Bank of China.
With UEP, Environetics acted as a consultant in the strategy planning, space planning and design phases. Leveraging Environetics' expertise at meetings and as an "on-call" consultant ensured that the building management delivered precisely as set forth during the lease negotiations. For the Bank of China, Environetics was challenged to refresh the bank's image to create a contemporary, open feeling and complete all the work while the bank remained open and within the tenant improvement budget set by the landlord. Environetics served as the planner/designer and project manager, which allowed the project flexibility between each of the five phases while maintaining the overall design intent.
