Weichert, Realtors - Engle & Hambright
(WREH) is a real estate company based out of Lancaster, PA. Their motto: Serve
your customers well, and success will follow. This has proven to work for them
because customer satisfaction is extremely high. This has led their business to
grow and caused a need for a larger work environment.
Because WREH has gone from 11 to 98 agents
since 2005, and they needed to expand, they took it apon themselves to do some
revamping of the place while they were at it. The goal was to create a more
contemporary place where their "forward-thinking" agents can be inspired to work
at their best. And to provide an attractive and functional space for both
collaboration and desk work.
The spaces designed for collaboration have
colorful patterns and oversized furniture pieces, creating a lively and
inspiring backdrop. Through out the office there is a use of bright colors on
the walls complementing the contemporary desks and chairs. This is juxtaposed
with reclaimed wooden tables in the larger rooms.
During the renovations certain amenities were
added to make office life even more pleasant. Along with having room now for a
training room for new agents, there is also a kitchen complete with coffee bar
and seating for the flat screen TV.
The reception area was also given a very
colorful facelift. The reception desk was decorated in a contemporary tile
pattern which uses the same lively colors seen on the walls and in the throw
pillows. The waiting area is warm and welcoming and the backlit Logo on the wall
lets you know exactly whose office you stepped into.
The votes are unanimous, the redecoration was
a hit. Guests, clients and even there children were all wowed at the entrance.
It gives them the impression that this is a hip successful place and that the
people who work there are the kind of innovative, proactive people that you want
to do business with.
And i personally agree. Taking a simple office
space and making it something inspiring is a beautiful thing to me. I love that
they chose colorful patterns and bright paint on the walls; The dark leathers
and wood furniture contrast well. I love that the large conference tables are
made from Reclaimed Lancaster Wood.
The kitchen/break area was also a great
addition to the space. But with the use of very modern tables and chairs and the
hanging bar lights over the counter top, i feel that this space came of a little
more retro than the rest of the more contemporary space.
The lobby makes a statement when you walk in.
i find that to be a very important thing to small businesses because it gives
the client an idea of the companies attitude and shows what direction the
company is going in. This lobby is fun, alive and chique; while also being clean
and contemporary. I think that illustrates exactly what WREH is trying to say to
its clients: Yes i'm attractive and stylish, but i'm also hellbent on getting
all your needs met in a timely manner, satisfaction guaranteed. And what company
wouldn't want that to be the thought going through each clients mind as they
pass through their doors?
