Creating the "first dedicated WNBA practice facility designed and built from the ground up, showcasing the Storm’s pioneering vision for the future of women’s basketball" was a landmark project. Women-led project teams from the Storm, ZGF Architects and Shive-Hattery Architects, Sellen Construction and One Workplace, and many others, dedicated expertise and hours towards the success of the new Center.
The Storm ownership team, including the Furniture selection committee, enjoyed working with One Workplace during the programming, layout & selection of the furniture. We were able to learn of some new products for the office space and OWP helped us find cost effective, attractive custom designs for the amenity & lounge spaces, especially for the coaches & players, who are taller than average which affected the size & style of furniture needed. We enjoyed working with everyone on the team. Maria Barrientos, Managing Partner, Real Estate Development
From the moment we heard about the project, our team was laser focused on collaboration, working together to understand needs and aspirations and translate those to actionable, affordable and unique solutions in design, furniture, furnishings and art. From custom banquettes and seating for tall basketball players, a custom conference table made from the old court flooring, to custom rugs and finishes to meet the Storm colors, and House of Sorcery original art, we left no stone unturned.
