In late 2018, Casey started searching for a new space for Casework to call home. She met Kevin of Guerrilla Development and toured the 1950s automotive garage he was redeveloping. “There were no windows or drywall at the time, but I could see the potential.” Casey and her team moved into the Lavada Jones building the following August.

office features to invest in

We designed and fabricated desks that hide the power. It's nice to eliminate the clutter of power cords and avoid having to climb under desks to plug in a laptop or phone. Each desk has a trough with an easily removable lid that is connected to one power source. Great lighting is also key, including natural light, which is vital for selecting materials, colors, and fabrics.

CASEY ON the showstopper COUNTER

"I love our onyx counter. I saw them in a slab yard when looking for a client and took a photo because they were so unusual. When we were looking for slabs, I knew I wanted something unique, and they turned up again. We got them for a steal because they had been sitting in the slab yard for 16 years, and the owner wanted to unload them. I love them so much that I also had two large cheese boards and two small tabletops cut from the remnants."

On the wall at the end of a table are two bulletin boards with several fabric samples of different colors and patterns, and a tv on a floating cabinet.
