sammons FINANCIAL GROUP

Old Post Office, 5th Floor
10,000 square feet

Like so many companies recalibrating for a newly hybrid workforce, Sammons Financial Group needed to reduce the footprint of their office, while improving the culture and morale for their staff. A relocation to the Old Post Office provided Sammons' Chicago team with an energizing move and a fresh design to be enjoyed by all. Working within the building’s historic guidelines, the new workplace features an art deco-inspired palette of soft greens with tambour millwork, custom cabinetry, and an antique vault. Tubular metal screens and curved architectural accents define the reception area and pantry into a centralized entry sequence. Herringbone flooring leads to sunny open office areas, where staff and leadership sit together in a reflection of the company’s focus on equity and inclusion.
