Our customer, First Companies, is engaging us in the design of several projects at the time of this writing. They also introduced us to their customer, O’Grady Orthodontics, who needed lobby furniture for their recently remodeled offices.
We were happy to create furniture layouts, provide samples of fabrics and furniture to help them make decisions for the best possible look.
It all came together and we installed furniture this past summer, and the place looks great. Thank you Dr. O and Kim, we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and smiles!

Dr. Drew Scholtz contacted r.o.i. Design looking for finish ideas to update his office. The challenge for any business is to understand what to invest in. What changes will have the largest impact on customer and employee satisfaction?
For Scholtz Dental, upgrading the lighting, updating the floor and wall finishes and replacing the lobby furnishings was the answer. Equipment and casegoods were able to remain until the next remodel. The lobby upgrade was the most noticeable improvement. We created a feature wall at the reception, added decorative lighting, installed an interesting carpet and added new stylish furnishings.
r.o.i. Design has a select group of manufacturers whose furniture we can distribute at competitive prices. Thank you Dr. Scholtz for selecting r.o.i. Design not only to provide you with interior finish ideas, but to supply you with new furnishings. It looks great!

Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics (A&W Ortho) is investing in their practice as the next generation of doctors joins the business. They are continuing their promise to create healthy, confident smiles.
Part of the investment meant remodeling their Kentwood offices. They chose First Companies as their construction manager, who in turn engaged Dixon Architecture and r.o.i. Design to create the design and construction documentation.
An important criteria in the design and selection of finishes was A&W Ortho’s desire to create a complete and well-appointed look. They wanted their space to be as welcoming, friendly and remain current in appeal as long as possible. They were eager to retire the pink/mauve color palette that the space had before.
r.o.i. Design’s favorite details included the new reception lobby elevation, the personalized brushing stations, and the embellished trim and new wall art. We were happy to provide and install the wall art as well as custom benches in this great remodel.

New leadership, new energy and new direction at Mars Hill created a desire to update their facility’s 38,000 square feet children’s ministry. More than 500 children from infants through 10-year-olds attend the ministry each Sunday. Their nursery, preschool and elementary school spaces were in need of refreshing. This meant new flooring, new paint, updated lighting and new cabinetry, as well as any needed repairs.
The redesign was intended to simplify, warm and organize the spaces to help member families entrust their children to Mars Hill. r.o.i. Design saw the journey, discovery and comfort of the spaces as key to the success of the redesign. Mars Hill will also be adding their own graphic and signage design as well as decorative elements to complete the look and feel.
Mars Hill had a budget, based on generous donations and operational planning, but it wasn’t clear if they could make the needed changes within their budget or schedule. r.o.i Design worked with the leadership to solicit contractors who were members or affiliates of Mars Hill, as well as call in other sympathetic trades to make the remodel possible to meet the goals.
We acknowledge the efforts and donations of:
- Facilities and Administrative staff of Mars Hill
- Jacobsen Painting
- Kenowa Plumbing
- Meekhof Electric
- Floor Covering Engineers and Shaw Carpets
- Pinnacle Construction
Over 10 years ago, r.o.i. Design worked with Mars Hill to create interiors in their new space, a vacant shopping mall in Grandville, Michigan. We are grateful for the opportunity to help them again, not only with interior design, but project management of the remodel as well.

r.o.i. Design has been watching the trend in interiors where graphics have taken on a role in the final finish of a space. Brand is everything, and a business’s physical office wants to illustrate that brand. Brands include logos, people, values and key products.
Mary Jane Caster, our executive designer, worked with Creston Industrial Sales (CIS) in the past to create their showroom, helping them create an engaging customer space. Now as they are renovating their offices, as budget and time allows, they called us back to help them with their conference room. We appreciate their trust.
While a tiny project, it is interesting because it simply illustrates our key offerings: interior design, graphic design and project management. CIS trusted us to design the space and graphics, select the furnishings, work with vendors to get the furnishings in the space, hire the trades to replace flooring, paint walls, add graphics and update lighting.
CIS provides industrial products and expertise to the metalworking industry, including inventory management and real time purchasing solutions. They are small enough to know you, large enough to serve you. To learn more about CIS visit: crestonindustrial.com
We believe we fulfilled our own brand of Budget, Brand and Beauty for CIS.
