Stamford, CT – Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits recently moved its corporate headquarters from White Plains, N.Y., to a 43,500sf high-rise office space in downtown Stamford, Conn.
Amenta Emma designers were challenged to accommodate a complicated program for the company’s extensive beverage portfolio.
A variety of different workplaces were required to support its many collaborative and creative work modes.
Capitalizing on the office building’s floor-to-ceiling glass exterior, interior spaces are set apart with glass walls, creating visual connections and pulling natural light throughout. Underlying the overall design is the idea of a more tailored corporate look in executive areas, while creative areas like marketing, the tasting room, and the pantry have a more playful mixed-aesthetic with open ceilings, warm rustic oak flooring, re-sawn wood paneling, and reclaimed wood feature walls, all with modern detailing. Designers created lighting patterns reminiscent of grape vines with contemporary, playful fixtures.
Conference rooms are barrel-shaped, including one representing the company’s logo that stands for the door to prosperity.
The creative marketing services space is highly collaborative, with sit-stand desks and meeting tables, tackable panels, full-wall white boards, several types of meeting spaces, and interactive screens.
The general contractor for the project is Turner Construction Company.
