SNS was responsible for the relocation of approximately 120 people from an owner occupied, single-tenant headquarters in Washington Township, New Jersey to a new headquarters building in Montvale, New Jersey.
The fit-up included approximately 60,000 sq. ft. of office space plus an atrium, a drive-up area and the exterior upgrades.
The work included a high-end member area, tellers area, meeter-greeters area, personal loan area, financial advisors, as well as office space for accounting, HR, IT, call center, business development, marketing and executive departments. Specialized areas included a newly enclosed 3-story atrium, drive-thru facility, cafeteria, large training rooms, state-of-the-art “AD-QUE” and Barco boards as “point of purchase”/ “branding” for the Credit Union.
SNS provided space programming, schematic design and design development, construction documentation and construction administration.
We listen. Each project is unique and requires specific resolutions.
We listen carefully. Our clients’ objectives and ultimate goals determine our methods and solutions so that an effective and smooth transition can be achieved between intent, execution and realization.
Flexibility is of paramount importance in our design approach. Whether the project is large or small, the level of service and attention is the same. Each design must provide our clients with the comfort that the absolute best has been achieved; aesthetically, efficiently and cost effectively with rapid response and adherence to schedules.
We solve problems. Problems and unexpected conditions on a project are challenges we meet and resolve every day. It is not enough making the most of advantageous conditions and compensating for the limitations; we enhance each project by going beyond the obvious solution and provide value that goes far beyond the fee of our services.
This is done with our response to our clients’ human, physical or external programming factors.
By listening to our clients’ objectives and understanding our clients’ goals, we synthesize program and form, materials and methods with creativity and innovation to provide spaces of vitality and identity.
Such spaces remain cost effective, flexible, and efficient with proper project management – a trait we have learned well in our almost five decades of practice.
We design. Teamwork and personal responsibility are ingrained in our design philosophy with projects served directly by Principals and associates; we remain “on top” of all conditions that may arise.
We are collaborative. Relationships with our consultants and close coordination of their work result in excellence of the end product.
We are contingent on the mutual trust and respect of our team members and our clients. The success of the project and the level of satisfaction of our clients is the reason for our professional longevity and our continuing success.
