HOW WE WORK
ARK CREATIVES, Incbuilding for a better place
90,000 SF Corporate Headquarters Fit Out Beneficial Savings BankPhiladelphia, PA“Ann Hoffman, Principal at Ark Creatives, Inc. provided interior design services and was the Team Leader for the architectural services when Beneficial Savings Bank moved its entire back office operations into the Penn Mutual Building located at 510-530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
The Bank moved operations from four building spread throughout Center City and a function in South Philadelphia and landed in 90,000 slf of space in Penn Mutual on several floors. Ann was able to create space that was a 3-dimensional interpretation of management's vision. The design and form was crisp and light. Ann was able to provide the appropriate sizing and function for the allotted levels of operations. She understands our business. Her ability to work with the contractor and sub-contractors allowed our project to meet budgets without sacrificing quality.”

250,000 sf Master Plan, Phased Renovations10,000 sf Employee Cafeteria Renovation and DesignPSEG Nuclear, LLCSalem, NJ
…this was an extensive restoration, involving some 250,000 square feet and directly affecting over 90% of the employees. It involved office, laboratory and cafeteria spaces. Her team was able to quickly determine the specific needs of the various work groups through direct employee interviews and space inspections. They then designed layouts using modern office and laboratory furnishings that met the workers needs, were easier to maintain, and if needed, simple to modify. They also developed a workable and efficient plan to roll through the work with minimum disruption to the employees daily work flow. The result was a more efficient, clean and functionally supportive work environment. In addition, Ann Hoffman's direct and frequent involvement with the development and delivery of design and engineering products helped ensure the project progressed as planned and completed on time and budget. I recommend her team without reservation.
