Dewberry was retained by Pekin Insurance to renovate an existing building into a new satellite office space. The result is a functional, inviting space for staff and visitors. The façade was designed using cement composite panels as well as terra cotta rain screen. Natural light was introduced throughout using open workstations, collaboration space, touch down space and training rooms.

Looking to reconcile their workplace with the realities of their business model in
2013, Heinold Banwart, Ltd embarked on a project for a new office space in East
Peoria’s bustling new Levee District. Heinold Banwart agreed to occupy the third
floor of a new Fondulac Community Bank building, situated at the heart of this
new urban development.

With their office, they sought a space that would be warm and inviting, while also
sleek and sophisticated – a place where all of their clients would feel comfortable,
from large corporations to small farm owners.

Previously housed in a 3-story, 1970s-vintage building, the company suffered
from a lack of efficient work space, a lack of daylight, and an impeded workflow
being split across three floors. These struggles directly informed the design of
the new space as Heinold Banwart sought a place that would embrace the idea
of flow and greatly improve collaborative efforts of the staff. The company also
balanced the need for private office space with the desire for all to have access to
daylight by shifting some offices to the interior, and using ample glazing to allow
for daylight to penetrate through perimeter offices.

Subtle curves and angle, strategic application of materials, and collaborative
gathering spaces reinforce the feel of moving through the space, creating
a cohesive, connected office environment while still respecting needs for
departmental organization. Show less
