Blitz

It's totally cliché to say 'earth day is every day' but we've been championing sustainable design since our founding 15 years ago. Whether it be our specs which have never allowed VOCs, going vinyl free as a firm at the beginning of 2023 or this epic project for L'Oréal which received both LEED and WELL Platinum certification we're here to mitigate the impact of the built environment on climate change.

We're looking for a few interior design ninjas to join our team in SF. Could this be you?!?!? Visit our website https://lnkd.in/dkhCBcF to learn more! #interiordesign #sanfrancisco #hiring

Wow! A 25% increase in utilization after a few thoughtful, light touch interventions? That's a pretty amazing ROI. We loved being a part of this project with the awesome team at Okta and we really love working with brilliant orgs that invest in workplace research to improve their employee's experience in the office. The proof that good design can solve real workplace problems is in the data!

Blitz is thrilled to announce the arrival of three brilliant practice leaders at the firm. Please join us in welcoming Crystal Adams, Craig Rice, and Elizabeth Vereker. Crystal Adams, Director of Environmental Graphic Design, leads the EGD/EXD teams at Blitz. She is a storyteller and creative visionary who skillfully weaves graphic and experiential concepts seamlessly into architectural solutions.

Elizabeth Vereker, Design Director, will oversee design at Blitz and continue the firm's long-standing commitment to narrative-driven, conceptually rooted work.

We look forward to seeing the exciting future that will be built with this dynamic trio as part of the Blitz team.

Check out this great article by Bisnow about the recent Design Summit in San Francisco. Blitz Partner Melissa Hanley, AIA IIDA ASID was a panel speaker.

San Francisco is not just surviving, it's thriving! Blitz Partner and architect, Melissa Hanley, AIA IIDA ASID spoke on the SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN panel at the Bisnow Architecture & Design Summit yesterday. With nearly 300 attendees in full network, connect and learn mode, this event proved the Bay Area's design scene is alive and well. "The most important thing we can do as an industry is come to alignment on a singular metric by which to measure sustainability for commercial interiors. It's more than carbon and certainly more than LEED. A carbon neutral project that gets ripped out after 5 years isn't sustainable! With over two dozen product certifications (which are often in conflict with one another) and at least a dozen rating systems in active use, not to mention the building code, the efforts by designers to improve the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) is being diluted by complexity. With a singular metric our industry can be laser focused on making substantial changes quickly. We need bold moves and we need them now." - Melissa Hanley Thanks to the co-panelists Phoebe Huei Yee, Joe Fitzpatrick, Todd Wright Christopher Lyon and Jeff D. Brink a lively discussion. #MakeItBlitz #Design #InteriorDesign #Architecture #ArchitectureInteriors #Interiors #CommercialDesign #CommercialInteriors #ArchitectureandDesign #AllofArchitecture #ArchitectureContent #OfficeDesign #OfficeSnapshots #ModernInterior #ArchDaily #ArchitecturePhotography #RetailDesign #retailinterior #HospitalityDesign #HospitalityInteriors #officedesign #officespace #officedecor #workspace

Last week for Women in Construction Week Partner and Co-Founder, Melissa Hanley, AIA IIDA ASID participated in an excellent panel discussion hosted by NOVO Construction, Inc. and moderated by Joan Price. Fellow panelists included the inimitable Parinaz Aghili Allison Sawyer and Sarah Garcia. The conversation covered a range of topics from work-life balance to imposter syndrome (spoiler: we all feel it). Thanks again to Novo for hosting and to everyone who came out to support women in the industry!

We are very proud of one of our most recent projects for @okta . Okta aimed to give local and remote team members a sense of pride, belonging and home at the San Francisco Headquarters offices. The task: create an irreplicable experience worthy of the trip to HQ. The concept of the Commons floor was to make a true “Love Letter to San Francisco”. This multi-use, unassigned work and activity space has ample resources for team engagements all guided by a whimsical immersion into Okta's hometown. On the floor, a collage of 13 curated spaces inspired by 13 vibrant neighborhoods near Okta's HQ includes not only a decked-out barista-worthy coffee bar under the Golden Gate Bridge flanked by a Cable Car storefront but a mini golf course and it's very own Lombard Street.
