The newly renovated Archdiocesan Pastoral Services office encompasses the entire 10,000 SF Ninth Floor of the Central Offices in downtown Cincinnati. A 1910 open plan, concrete column and steel frame building offered a clean floorplate to build a community friendly, naturally lit, sustainably designed office. Using our interview and online survey process, we heard that a welcoming, comfortable, simple space was preferred. We designed that place. A space where it felt more like “home” than like “work". A space where professional and collaborative opportunities were encouraged. A space where a modern look gave rise to new attitudes. And a space where new and existing relationships are more easily formed and nurtured with clients, colleagues and collaborators.
