Boston – Vantage Builders, Inc., a general contracting and construction firm based in Waltham, has completed the renovation of new, expanded headquarters for
Strategic Spaces 
at 280 Summer St. in Boston’s Seaport District.
The firm relocated to the Seaport District from 40 Broad St., almost doubling its office size to approximately 7,000sf. The new location houses the firm’s 24 employees as well as its Client Experience Center, offering visitors a chance to explore the latest trends and insights in interior environments.
Both the office and the showroom display the firm’s design solutions, particularly a wide variety of customized, prefabricated “Doing It Right This Time” (DIRTT) interiors, for which Strategic Spaces is a partner. All interior elements including walls, millwork, architectural ceilings, integrated technology, and power/data are custom fabricated by DIRTT.
Following designs from studio TROIKA architects, Vantage did a complete fit-out of the first-floor location. One of the first steps was to infill a pre-existing spiral staircase, which had left a 5-ft. x 8-ft. hole, with a new metal deck and concrete.
The project team also included Bala Consulting Engineers.
The Client Experience Center has four private offices, three huddle rooms, one large conference room, and a state-of-the-art atrium space encompassed by a canopy. The open office area also has a timber frame structure that provides lighting, audio-visual equipment, and sound dampening, enhancing communication and collaboration. A kitchen area allows for employee breaks and prompts increased interaction between coworkers. The project included the installation of new HVAC and electrical systems.
