Enders Corporate Office

The design focuses on high quality, locally and intentionally sourced materials paired with craft quality and millwork joinery details as a metaphor for client relationships within the insurance industry.

The new corporate office design creates a fresh, forward-looking workspace for Enders, an insurance, financial and benefits company. The client identified the following trends as integral to the design:

brand integration,
flexibility/technology,
workstyle concepts,
human ergonomics,
health and wellbeing / biophilic design,
kitchen/lounge/flex,
and pet-friendly design.

The design result is an inviting hospitality experience for the staff and clients, with amenity spaces integrated throughout the building. The former cramped office was replaced with generously sized work spaces, enhanced amenities and views of the Blue Mountain range from the community room and staff bistro.

Reinforcing Brand Messaging

Through Design

The contemporary branding of Enders is echoed in the building design. Client and staff experiences are conveyed through interior details that create a welcoming, homelike atmosphere.

The reception desk and the millwork and joinery backdrop speak to Enders’ commitment to locally sourced materials. The desk draws inspiration from the architecture of the building and creates harmony between the quarter sawn white oak and quartz. The locally sourced white oak was also used as a screen wall on the stairs. The floors were made in north-central Pennsylvania.

A Corporate Office Design that Serves the Local Community

Enders’ commitment to being a good steward within the community was evident from the beginning of the project. While demolishing vacant buildings on the site to make way for the new office building and parking lot, Enders partnered with the local fire company to allow for controlled fires to help train the volunteer firefighters. The parking lot serves the public by hosting local events that allows the surrounding community to get together.

The welcoming lobby feels like a comfortable living room.

This custom desk design by the RLPS interior designer is sculptural, yet playful, and the cantilevered structure provides ADA access.

The carpet pattern is evocative of tire treads, referencing the firm's provision of auto insurance.

The ample conference spaces and a bistro are open to the adjacent walkable community.

Banquettes in the bistro can be used for meals and as a flexible workspace option.

The bistro features a community table and fireplace.

The custom designed and fabricated front door is open to the community.

Anchoring the west end of downtown Linglestown, the welcoming front porch along the streetscape connects to the downtown fabric.
