International Materials, Inc.

International Materials, Inc. (IMI) relocated its Global Headquarters from Boca Raton to a Class A office space in Delray Beach with city and ocean views. As international commodity traders, IMI employees work non-standard hours and require a workspace that is rich in amenities and provides the same amount of comfort as working at home. Added amenities include a fitness room, massage room, showers, and an upscale lounge for entertaining and weekly happy hour events. Empire procured furniture from manufacturers such as OFS, Halcon, Geiger, 9to5 Seating, Bernhardt and Restoration Hardware, adhering to the modern and warm design intent of the space, and mixing in industrial elements that reflect the client’s core brand. This project was delivered and installed during the Covid-19 pandemic and Empire made every effort to ensure the client’s desired move-in date was met, even installing workstations while construction was ongoing. This project and its design firm, Fresh Design Group International, were nominated for a 2021 IIDA BRAGG award in the “Corporate Small Office” category.
