Emdeon, a leading provider of revenue and payer solutions for the healthcare industry, was consolidating various company locations into one central campus. Since the firm was transitioning employees from working in isolated locations to a unified campus, the firm wanted to capitalize on this opportunity and create a space that encouraged teamwork and creativity among the staff, while also taking care of them by providing the right healthcare and insurance services, and in case of accidents and injury using services as a New York personal injury lawyer to cover these cases. It was critical that the space reflect the larger mission and philosophy of the company so that the employees could quickly embrace the shared environment and relate to their new corporate culture.

Cummins, Inc., the world’s largest independent maker of diesel engines and related products, was looking to develop a new facility that could meet the administrative and customer service needs of multiple product lines.

Collaborative Studio was asked to incorporate their corporate standards and branding while giving this location a unique aesthetic. New concepts in furniture and finishes helped to energize the space and create a successful, functional facility that has become the new standard for similar Cummins, Inc. locations around the world.

This project involved renovating a building to emulate the aesthetic and technology standards of the HCA corporate campuses in order to provide a dedicated HR Operations Center. The design challenge created by the elongated structure to provide connection between the workspaces was resolved by creating a flowing connection through the central public spaces where all paths cross at the café. By keeping enclosed zones centralized, not only did the group gain an energetic and dynamic meeting area at the hub of their organization, but they also are able to enjoy the visually bright and open work zones.

The Center includes a call center component as well as a group with secure and sensitive information management requirements. A new generator, updated landscaping, multiple meeting zones, a café, and a training area were also provided as part of the design program.

Collaborative Studio designed a new office workplace for HCA administrative and IT departments.  The creation of “work nodes” provided an innovative approach to the work environment for 20-person teams. Additionally, the space design provided common area meeting and casual work spaces for remote workers. Specialized Operation Centers were designed for the security and energy departments.

Journal Communications, Inc., a progressive custom magazine publisher, wanted to create an interior build-out in an 18,000 square foot space on the fourth floor of an office building in Franklin, Tenn. Due to the unique, creative nature of its business, the company had a broad range of needs for formal and informal meeting spaces, interactive audio/visual presentations, and customized work stations that could both encourage collaboration and allow for privacy. Collaborative Studio designed the space to be a reflection and expression of the intrinsic values of Journal Communications, Inc.– the company and its employees.

As a new retail and salon facility in the downtown Nashville area, BABE Beauty Bar provides a glamorous atmosphere that is reminiscent of old Hollywood.  In fact, Collaborative Studio worked together with lighting consultants from Los Angeles in order to grasp the actual ambience needed for the concept.  The mix of the Hollywood charm with the modern furnishings is meant to leave every client feeling comfortably pampered, yet elegant.

Two executives that own and operate multiple companies in the Nashville area leased 7,000 square feet to be used as an office space for their personal use. The executives wanted an environment conducive to individual work and group meeting settings, as well as two incubator spaces for new start-up companies. The design objective was to maximize the impact of the panoramic views while creating an interesting entry sequence to the three separate suites. The use of natural materials and unique details were implemented to create a completely custom solution.

This project features a 270 room hotel, 110 Homewood Suite and 160 Hilton Garden Inn prototypical guestrooms. Collaborative Studio designed the two hotels with custom reception, lobby and dining areas while incorporating the standard requirements of the two brand prototypes. All of the custom finishes and FF&E items compliment the upscale aesthetics of the Southpark area, where the hotel is located.

HCA, a leading national provider of healthcare, required complete renovations an existing facility that provides support for their extensive network of hospitals & physicians.  The renovations needed to include functional and efficient floor plans, but also include the presence of an energetic and fun work environment.   Collaborative Studio designed the space with colorful finishes and informal meeting spaces such as coffee bars and lounge areas, which encourage staff to be team-oriented and motivated.

The Black Fox Lodge in Pigeon Forge, TN is a mountain themed hotel developed by Chartwell Hospitality.  The facility includes 178 guest rooms and suites, lobby, bar, breakfast buffet, pool, and fitness.  The hotel sits alongside the Little Pigeon River and has views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
