Work with Kuchar for a custom design tailored to your business that helps you stand out to both customers and employees.
Design for Your Team
Everyone works differently—some thrive in energetic spaces, others in quiet ones. Offering a mix of workspaces helps your team perform at their best.
Create Flexibility
Offices with writable surfaces, flexible meeting areas, and smart furniture layouts inspire creativity and collaboration.
Each office space we design is completely unique, crafted to reflect your brand and inspire your team.
NYC Financial Firm
Located in Midtown New York and overlooking a city park, this office design blends the building’s vintage charm with contemporary details. Warm wood arches, ribbed glass panels, and classic wallpapers come together to create a distinctive and inviting financial workspace.
London Financial Firm
Our recent office design for a London financial firm features a connecting stair. Instead of opting for a standard, utilitarian finish, we introduced a patterned Oriental-style runner - something more often seen in homes or boutique hotels. This unexpected touch added warmth and a layered, lived-in character to the workspace.
See What Others Are Saying About Us
"We are a property asset management company based in LA and engaged the Kuchar team to help renovate and refresh an older retail/office building in Fulton Market owned by one of our clients. From the very beginning Sarah and her team were very engaged and interactive in creating and communicating their visition to our team. Their knowledge of this area was a huge help to us in helping determining the appropriate design vernacular for this historic property while modermiizng the space for today's office market."

Our Design Features
Optimized Layouts and Features
Appropriate lighting types, temperatures and layouts. Lighting plays a critical role in focus levels for employees. Offering a mix of types and levels throughout the office will help employees choose what is most helpful for them to focus.
Commercial Grade Products
Materials and furniture need to hold up to daily use. Commercial-grade products are built to withstand this type of wear and tear and also come with better warranties.
Flexibility
In the ever changing work environment, its important to plan for the future, but also keep it flexible. Employees may use the space differently as time goes on and different generations come into the workforce. A flexible workspace allows companies to adapt to their employee needs and saves money in the long run
Kuchar has several long standing relationships with local contractors and permit expediters. This helps move your project along faster and with confidence in a trusting contractor. We also have connections beyond Chicago - nationwide and worldwide - should the client be located elsewhere.

How do we get employees to return to the office?
Employees choose to go into an office for many reasons, and it differs for everyone. Consider having a great food and beverage program that they might not have at home. This can be great coffee or free snacks or lunch. Plan social events so employees can get to know each other better. This type of connection is not built virtually, but can also be difficult during the day with heavy meeting schedules.
Lastly, create interior spaces that are inspiring to work in and offer better work setups than the home offices. This can be anything from a cool office cafe, interesting meeting roos that have a mix of furniture types, and ergonomic desk setups that have all the tools employees need to work better.
What amenities should we consider in a new office build out?
-
A cafe space that feels like your local coffee shop or bistro
-
Upgraded bathrooms that don’t feel institutional or dated
-
Shower rooms for those who cycle to work or workout during lunch
-
Fitness area to get that workout in if before or after work isn’t an option.
