We worked with a returning customer, West Michigan Dermatology, on their Grandville and Holland locations. The brand look was perfected and translated into this large new space in Rockford, Michigan. The project was constructed and managed by First Companies

The gentle color palette continued in Rockford with a few changes. The lighter trim used in Holland showed too much wear, so on this project, we chose stained doors and trim. This change coordinated with the lobby ceiling trim which outlined the seating area. We procured the furniture in the waiting room and MoH’s waiting room and designed the layout for these spaces. The fabrics bring a blue accent to the space while completing the calming interior finishes. We added a final touch with outdoor picnic tables and branded umbrellas.

Like previous projects, the carpet had contrasting insets in front of exam room doors to help patients find their way. Since this office was so much larger than others, these insets were extremely helpful. But the balance of the finishes were duplicated from their Grand Rapids Rivertown location except for two discontinued carpets, (hallway and team area.)

Grand Rapids, MI 49508

Dan and Jan Koster founded Enviro-Clean in 1975.  They have offices in Holland, Allegan, Bloomfield Hills, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. They clean over 600 sites with more than 1,600 employees, up to 35,000,000 square feet every day.

When Dan and Jan set to design their new space, they wanted it to reflect their values and brand promise of cleanliness. The space features a very tall space on entry, and the architectural lines are crisp and thrilling. Along with their administrative staff, this space welcomes future employees applying with Enviro-Clean. The space presents a professional company that folks want to work with. Mike Belisle of Design Forum, was the architect on this project and r.o.i. Design came along with an invite from the contractor, First Companies.

Some of our contributions include:

  • Interesting acoustic treatment in the entry and the tall walls. In the entry, the lighting design enhanced the variety of shapes.
  • Lighting design in the tallest spaces with a goal of crispness and cleanliness.
  • Space planning the open stairs to the second floor.
  • Select finishes: carpets, paints, laminates, and more.

r.o.i. Design met Rivertown Family Chiropractic through First Companies, and First Companies fulfilled the promises of their design in the construction and build-out.  

Elements we especially appreciate: 

  • Vaulted 20-foot ceilings that allowed for a lower canopy over the waiting area 
  • Acoustic ceiling baffles shaped like the curvature of the spine over the “hot seats” (chairs where patients warm up, watch videos, and listen to helpful instructions) to help the patients feel comfortable in the tall space. 
  • The break room also has a vaulted ceiling. 
  • The lighting is bright and clear, promoting health and remembering that West Michigan is dark for eight months of the year.  
  • The reception desk and back wall are reminiscent of a hospitality setting, but not ostentatious.

Grand Rapids, MI 49506

Beacon Hill at Eastgate focuses on creating a culture that supports its hard-working team. To that end, they are investing in creating new break rooms that offer comfort and restful aesthetics.

The first breakroom was converted from an older, unused breakroom being used as a storage space. Since it had an existing kitchenette, the rough plumbing was already in place. The room needed new finishes, new lighting, and a new layout.

This break room features restaurant-style tables, booth seating, and lounge soft seating, procured by r.o.i. Design. Light levels vary from very bright to soft lighting to accommodate a variety of uses. New flooring such as luxury vinyl planks in the eating area and carpet in the lounge area were installed. The room got all-new paint, graphic wallpaper, cabinets, and appliances, creating a non-traditional break room.

Hudsonville, MI 49426

Doctors Walt and Gammage joined Hudsonville Vision Care in the 1980s and are preparing for the next generation of leadership, which started with Dr. Wustman, who joined in 2017. Subsequently, this meant enhancing the interior, with expanded offices and exam rooms, and new finishes throughout.

Keeping the family-friendly focus, Hudsonville Vision Care improved the reception and waiting areas, expanded the eyeglass showroom, and made the testing area more efficient and modern with new technology.

Those returning to the space might say the biggest change is the increase in light. Lighter wall colors, better LED lighting, and a lower ceiling section over the selections area. All the eyeglass displays are new with interior lighting to showcase the frames even more.

Keeping things neutral, they added interest by adding wood to the back wall, and stone accented by shiplap to the reception desk. The frames display has wood storage, but light frames with maximum mirroring.

Additionally, they added offices so the front desk and the basement were relieved of administrative work. The administration is closely positioned near the doctor’s offices for improved communication.
