Truist

Xibitz proudly partnered with Perkins & Will in an endeavor to design and fabricate a truly impressive space for the fourteenth and fifteenth floors of the Truist building in Charlotte, North Carolina. A two-story sculpture inspired by the Southern Live Oak can be seen from the bustling downtown streets of Charlotte. The sculpture is being called the Truist Tree.

Using a combination of millwork at the bottom, culminating with a digital expression as its canopy, the tree was crafted as an abstract piece. This installation consists of a series of different-sized boxes, both enclosed and open frames, which were further animated with LED programmable lighting. This lighting allows the ambiance of the tree to shift through multiple scenes throughout the day, week or year. The tree was incorporated into an existing open office park area utilized for impromptu meetings, where workers can overlook the Charlotte skyline and feel inspired by the artistic atmosphere.

Waste Management

by Xibitz Corporate

Houston Headquarters

Houston, TX

It was a pleasure working alongside Perkins&Will to create a new headquarters for Waste Management in Houston, Texas, a facility designed with a blend of originality and ingenuity in mind. This award-winning project involved the fabrication and installation of brand elements across a total of 8 floors. Wood veneer screens were used in the elevator lobbies, along with glass-on graphics that followed the angle of the WM logo. Banquette café seating was designed with graphic wood veneer triangles. The refreshment areas were designed with a recycling emphasis in mind. Here you can find recycled aluminum and rubber tile walls, repurposed, brand-colored bottles, in addition to recycled plastic drink containers.

A prominent feature of the space is a 16 by 128-foot living green wall that spans the stairwell walls on all eight floors. An aluminum screen, powder-coated with a Waste Management brand aesthetic, encloses the vegetation.

The reception floor contains wood veneer panels set at brand-specific angles, to create a tunnel that helps tell the Waste Management story through an immersive experience. Xibitz was instrumental in creating the Peter Built cab and a screen enclosing an autonomous simulation of a landfill loader. In celebration of the Phoenix Open, the WM logo was showcased out of golf balls. Adjacently, you can find a rug in the shape of a golf green, with pedestals and inset screens to further portray the story of WM’s relationship with the Phoenix Open.

LCI desired one of a kind, experiential displays to communicate their history and company values to employees and visitors within their new corporate office. Xibitz presented a turnkey proposal that included the design fee for HOK as well as the fabrication and installation of displays for the office space. The project was completed in concert with Tango Design and Majority.

Xibitz was the lead on the turnkey, design-build project and oversaw the contract management and overall project from design to installation. The teams worked together to provide design solutions and innovative display methodology including dynamic edge-lit and backlit direct printed graphics applied to glass and mounted in a shiplap style through a long hallway in the new office space. The graphics were various photos of Lippert parts on different types of vehicles starting on the East Coast and ending on the West Coast.

GE Innovation Centre

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The first of its kind for GE in North America, the GE Innovation Centre in Calgary leverages the company’s global expertise, industrial breadth, and technology to address challenges across the energy, healthcare, transportation and finance sectors.

To provide workspaces with access to state-of-the-art technology, focused on commercial innovation, GE asked Hornall Anderson to craft a narrative framework and experience strategy that would inform the Centre’s design and operationalization. The result was a plan filled with cutting-edge digital tools to facilitate energy-industry-redefining collaboration.

Once the vision was solidified, Hornall Anderson worked with Gensler architects through the design of the space and collaborated with Xibitz on crafting all the major environmental interactive installations and content experiences. Specifically, Xibitz produced and installed design elements and environmental graphics with rich design aesthetics and high-end materials – including The Voices of Canada Interactive Display Table which integrates three 32-inch touch screens.

Corporate Headquarters

Kenosha, WI

Set in a 25,000-square-foot factory space reclaimed for training and events, the museum showcases more than 500 artifacts, including a Ford Model T – which, when mass-produced with completely interchangeable parts, set a new standard for efficient and rational manufacturing, and Snap-on adapted them as mobile sales vehicles. Also featured are the company’s “5 does the work of 50” tool kit, with which Snap-on established socket tools as the industry standard for fitting interchangeable auto parts; information about the company’s family of brands sold around the world; a 150-foot timeline display; and custom mobile toolboxes that allow reconfiguration for varied audiences.

Chicago, IL

Occupying eight floors of the Boeing Building, the 275,000-square-foot HERE Chicago office was transformed into a contemporary environment that reflects the company’s vision, brand, and history of innovation as the worlds’ #1 location platform company.

Xibitz partnered with Gensler to bring the environmental design to life throughout the newly renovated space. Key elements include feature walls found near the cafes on several floors. The Crosswalk Cafe showcases concrete panels with hooks and tensioned wires connecting in random patterns meant to mimic HERE’s location technology. The Lakefront Café features digitally printed wallcovering with colored acrylic fins. The Terrace Café has formed metal pans with faux moss and applied dimensional text.

Other brand elements include direct printed Lintec film distraction graphics and various logos on multiple floors. The reception desk displays a custom metal screen with LED lighting and colored film depicting the HERE brand logo.

The Nutrilite Health Institute is a worldwide collaboration of experts who are dedicated to helping people achieve optimal health – through research, education and practical, personalized solutions. To this end, the company’s Center for Optimal Health is a world-class teaching and training facility, comprised of 33,000 square feet spread over two floors, providing the personal, interactive Nutrilite Experience.

To create such a personalized, experiential and comprehensive health assessment and educational opportunity, Xibitz worked with London’s LIVE to help the makers of NUTRILITE achieve their goals. The result: Visitors marvel at a two-story rotating DNA sculpture and browse through educational works of art as they learn strategies for achieving optimal health. They also engage with an informative, customized experience highlighting their own health and wellness; NUTRILITE™ products and the organic farming practices, cutting-edge research, and processing methods that go into their development and manufacture; and the possibilities of marketing and merchandising NUTRILITE™ products.

Eli Lilly

by Xibitz Corporate

Corporate Headquarters

Indianapolis, IN

Global pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company had finished its 250,000-square-foot Corporate Center, its gateway to extensive research and administrative campus. But one thing remained: the need for a lobby worthy of Lilly’s legacy and impact on humanity.

An aggressive nine-month schedule for the project demanded a design/build approach and a unique partnership. Designer HOK translated Lilly’s core values into complex, multilayered storylines expressed in three physical components – Life, Science, and Horizons – and relied on Xibitz to transform these abstract concepts into reality while meeting financial, brand development and scheduling goals.

Solutions include a 3,000-pound molecular ring that appears to “float” in the air; a Science Wall reflecting the convergent disciplines that intertwine in pharmaceutical research and development; and a 16-foot-tall mother and child sculpture, flanked by curved reading tables that explain its meaning to the Lilly story.

TD Ameritrade

by Xibitz Corporate

Headquarters

Omaha, NE

In opening a new headquarters, TD Ameritrade brought together its corporate, technology, and operations teams, which had been dispersed throughout the Omaha metropolitan area. The result, using an open-plan floor plate, accommodates these business units’ continuously changing needs, offers improved workspaces, and enhances collaboration.

HOK, with Xibitz’s support, achieved the company’s interior branding goals, creating a high-energy, fun and collaborative workplace that employs cues from the financial industry, community, company history, and sustainability achievements. A two-story atrium wall sculpture, a history wall embedded with iPads, a self-updateable community display, a monochromatic award display, and an abacus sculpture celebrate the company’s story and promote interaction.

The facility is Nebraska’s largest LEED® Platinum certified building.

Newell Rubbermaid

by Xibitz Corporate

Design Center

Kalamazoo, MI

With brands as diverse as Sharpie and Levolor, and 2013 net sales of $5.7 billion in more than 100 countries, Newell Rubbermaid continues to set its sights higher. To facilitate the achievement of this goal, its new Design Center gathers the industrial, graphic and usability designers from all of its brands around the world under one roof.

Perkins&Will, engaged Xibitz to confirm its designs for the Center through prototypes and mockups and to carry out fabrication and installation. The project focused on two key elements that elegantly articulate the spirit and energy of the Design Center. First, more than seven miles of ash wood slats run the length of the wall and ceiling of the Center’s main corridor, creating a continuous link between all of the design teams. The second element stands opposite the entry doors. Seemingly random wood blocks form a solid wall that conveys to visitors and reminds designers of the fortifying power of collaboration. Together the two elements deliver a message of cohesion, flexibility and experimentation.
