Bark House Gives Unique Flair to Commercial Flooring Solutions Headquarters
Commercial Flooring Solutions (CFS), headquartered in Charlotte, NC, recently expanded their existing office space into their warehouse space. The move is the result of the company’s growth into six other states on the East Coast. The project architect and designer was Studio Fusion, Harker Doerre was the general contractor, and Metrolina Woodworks was the millworker.
The designer specified Bark House Sanded Poplar panels to clad conference room walls. Per Interior Designer Nan Miller, “The client loved rich, dark woods and wanted a unique design flair to distinguish their space. I thought the Bark House panels in their Conference Room would do just that. The moment we both saw the Bark House sample, we were sold! The natural wood walls blended nicely with their modern design wood furniture. Glass walls allowed for the bark panels to be shown off throughout their new open office area as well. The walls became one of the focal points of the new clean and modern work environment.” Bark House obtains bark from sustainable foresters in the Appalachians harvesting yellow poplar for the plywood and furniture industries, which would otherwise be discarded or ground into low-grade mulch.
