Elevating Global Workspaces with Tailored Solutions

When a leading global investment firm set out to modernize and expand its international offices, it turned to LaCOUR—a trusted partner with a proven track record of delivering high-end, bespoke solutions. Collaborating closely with renowned architecture and design firm SDGI, LaCOUR’s commitment to innovation, quality, and client-focused service has helped it achieve its evolving vision while meeting new budget realities.

The Challenge

The client has maintained a longstanding relationship with LaCOUR, consistently seeking sophisticated, tailored work environments that reflect their brand and operational needs. As the firm expanded into new markets and undertook renovations, it faced a dual challenge: maintaining the premium quality and white-glove service it valued while adapting to the latest design trends and tighter budget constraints. Each project required a seamless blend of aesthetic innovation, mechanical and IT consistency, and cost efficiency across diverse locations and timelines. Working in partnership with SDGI, LaCOUR ensured that every solution was aligned with the client’s architectural vision and standards.

The LaCOUR Approach

LaCOUR delivered tailored solutions by adapting the CIMA Open product line to meet evolving design and budget needs across multiple global offices. From streamlining workstation designs for Dallas and New York to sourcing custom finishes and furnishings for San Francisco’s flagship headquarters, LaCOUR responded with agility and expertise. The team also managed complex renovations, such as disassembling and updating existing workstations in Dallas. It extended the CIMA Open solution to international locations, including Houston, Austin, and London—all while maintaining the client’s high standards and operational requirements.

LaCOUR’s collaboration with SDGI was integral throughout the process. SDGI’s architectural leadership ensured that each workspace reflected the client’s brand identity and functional needs, while LaCOUR’s innovative solutions brought these visions to life.
