MidCity Wows with New Look for Buffalo Computer Graphics New Headquarters

When Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG) decided to move into a new build in Blasdell, NY, they wanted fresh and functional looks for each and every room. MidCity worked with BCG's interior design team to help create a space of form and function. 

"Since this is a new build, we had the opportunity to design the building with furniture in mind," states Christopher Zak, program manager for BCG. "From conceptualization, the furniture was always part of the design process." 

This allowed the interior designers and architects to build the rooms around the furniture, consulting with Kurt Amico, Katie Clark and Sara Gleason at MidCity throughout the design and construction process to ensure that everything would fit perfectly and match the interior decorating scheme. 

"This process yielded a building that both looks great and functions as envisioned," states Zak. 

MidCity helped to capture the essence of the culture at BGC in which employees work hard and play hard. For example, the furniture in the game room creates a relaxing, trendy and comfortable atmosphere whereas the furniture in the executive conference room portrays a more formal look.

"My favorite aspect of the furniture is by far the quality," states Zak. "We opted for quality furniture that will hold up over the years. The fit, finish and durability are all excellent." 

MidCity Office helps Daily Post Incorporate the Old into the New

Reception area at Daily Post. The seating is from OFS Furniture's Realm Line. The center table is from OFS Furniture's Larson Line.









MidCity Office Furniture helped Daily Post, a video production company newly located in the 600 block of Main Street in downtown Buffalo, pay homage to the old while keeping the space new and modern.
 
"I knew what I wanted and Katie helped me to hone in on it," stated Andy Donovan, president and founder of Daily Post. "I absolutely love it, everyone that walks in the door loves it."
 
Katie Clark, CEO at MidCity Office, helped to make existing furniture from Daily Post's old office space work with the new space and furniture.

"My biggest fear was that customers would come in and say 'I really liked your old space.' Katie helped to make sure that didn't happen."


Donovan wanted to create a new vision in the move from Franklin Street to Main Street in Buffalo. He chose to work with Katie because she had seen the old space and had a good design sense and strong team behind her at MidCity.

"Andy was open-minded to any idea that I sent him," said Katie.
 
The furniture at Daily Post helps to define the creative culture of the video production business. The furniture in the space helps employees to be creative while minimalist design allows them to be productive. The editing rooms are set up in a similar style to a living room because that it where client's customers will be viewing their advertisements.  The seating in these rooms gives client's enough space to be able to work while being comfortable. The furniture, which follows a neutral palette, allowed Andy to assimilate splashes of color into the design of the rooms.
 
The client lounge, which pays homage former space occupants Big Daddy Records and OPM lounge, offers clients a space to brainstorm outside the editing rooms.

"Katie saw and understood vision and was able to deliver solid, beautiful furniture that was functional."

Wow! Our recent project from 3rd quarter of 2010 is gaining some attention. The job was chosen by Tayco, the furniture manufacturer to do a case study. Recently, Charity Vogel from The Buffalo News covered it in their 2011 Prospectus. "It's modeled on Facebook," Julia Culkin vice president of human resources at Synacor said in the article. "We're trying to bring that to Buffalo as much as we can," she said, "in terms of culture."

Check it out, and since it's modeled after facebook, we also put it in facebook.
