Ware Malcomb Offers Award-Winning Architecture and Design Services

Ware Malcomb is an award-winning international design firm providing planning, architecture, interior design, branding, and civil engineering services to commercial real estate and corporate clients. The firm specializes in the design of commercial office, corporate, industrial, science and technology, healthcare, retail, auto, public/educational facilities, and renovation projects.

Recently the company provided interior architecture as well as design and branding services for new offices of CBRE, a global commercial real estate services and investment firm. The new offices span 14,000 square feet on a full floor of the landmark 150 California building in the heart of San Francisco's financial district.

"Our goal was to design a space that was highly functional for the CBRE team and consistent with their internal brand guidelines, while making it unique to the dynamic San Francisco market in which they operate," says Rhea Butler, Director of Interior Architecture & Design of Ware Malcomb's San Francisco office.

The modern, open office design concept was implemented to accommodate CBRE's growing number of employees and client base for years to come. A formal reception area greets visitors, while a variety of open and enclosed meeting areas provide a plethora of workspace options throughout the floor. The design also features two open cafe/break out areas to foster employee engagement.

Branding and graphics played a strong role in the design, with CBRE's core messaging and new workplace initiative guidelines incorporated throughout the space. In addition to its other services, Ware Malcomb also selected new furniture for the office.

Last year Ware Malcomb appeared on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The company was one of only seven architecture firms included on the list. It was the first time Ware Malcomb has appeared on the list, and capped off a record year of national industry recognition for the firm. Companies on the Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2014 to 2017, and every company on the Inc. 5000 list has grown by at least 50 percent over the past three years.

Earlier in 2018, Ware Malcomb was named one of the 2018 Best Firms to Work For among architecture and engineering firms by Zweig Group. In addition, Ware Malcomb was number eight on Zweig Group's 2018 Hot Firm List, which ranks the fastest growing firms in the industry. The firm was also ranked among the top 20 architecture/engineering firms in Engineering News-Record's Top 500 Design Firms.

Ware Malcomb has 22 offices in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Panama. About 10 employees work at the company's office in Hacienda, which has been part of the community since 2014.

The company was founded by Bill Ware and Bill Malcomb in 1972. Their philosophy of great design, excellent client service, and relationship-focused business still rings true today. That philosophy has been the foundation for the firm's long history of successful design for commercial and corporate real estate.
