We worked alongside HBC Design Group to create this bench in 2018. The designer provided line drawings and an inspiration photo. During the design process, our project managers came to the conclusion that the specifier was seeking something more conceptual than the provided inspiration photo. We worked with the designer to actualize what shape and structure the bench would require.

The first step we took was to visualize the daily interactions that would take place in the Halsten at Chauncey Lane. Leasing offices are often congested places: potential renters are filing in and out all day, there’s usually a queue for viewing units and people tend to bring a friend or family member for a second opinion. With all this in mind, we decided to build something unlike anything we had ever built before. The triple-sided bench.

This bench was designed to seat 10-12 people while being space-efficient. The goal was to be able to accommodate multiple parties of guests without them feeling crammed or uncomfortable. By adding a ‘Y’ shaped back to the bench we accomplished the division we needed. Our project managers took into account the irregular shape of the bench and made it work to their advantage by placing it in the spacious entryway of the Halsten at Chauncey Lane.
