KDHSA presented us with a unique challenge: design a library catering to diverse student learning styles. The library, serving as the central hub for the school, required flexibility and reconfigurability for events, lessons, and student activities. Adhering to the Thornburg Metaphors for Learning, we strategically created single-person nooks nestled between bookcases and desks to facilitate independent studies. For collaborative learning, we incorporated mobile seating, stools, and tables that can accommodate 2 to 6 individuals. Additionally, we introduced desks and chairs with casters and lounge seating to accommodate lectures or guest speakers. Ensuring cleanable surfaces and cohesiveness with the school’s vibrant lime and blue colors, the result is a thriving library ready to host students, teachers, and guests for every educational occasion.

I cannot say enough about the team at KV Workspace. From the sales and design consultants to the admin team; from the installation coordinator to the final walk through; everyone on the team is very professional, knowledgeable, on task, forward thinking, readily available, and truly a pleasure to work with.
We purchased office cubicles from KV Workspace. The entire experience, from our consultation with the account executive to the actual installation was flawless and stress free. They helped us design the workstations that fit perfectly into our available space, and the knowledgeable and professional installation team had us good to go with minimal down time. I would highly recommend KV Workspace for anyone setting up a new office or looking to redesign their current office space.
What we most appreciate when working with KV Workspace is their holistic approach to our projects. They seek to understand the workflow and dynamics of our business culture, matching furniture, function, and aesthetics to best unite our business units and increase performance.
The KV Workspace team has consistently provided The Times-Picayune with professional services and innovative solutions to accomplish our projects goals. As always, time is of the essence and staying within budget can be very challenging, but KV Workspace has proven time and time again that they are up for the challenge and can meet our needs.
KV Workspace was first involved in remodeling our conference rooms and two of our executive offices. They worked very hard to provide us with design and furniture options for our space and we were pleased with the outcome. We contacted them again when remodeling our corporate service center and our break room area. KV Workspace assessed the areas and needs and provided results that were functional and very pleasing aesthetically. KV Workspace provided the expertise and know-how on the design, planning and completion of the projects on schedule and within our budget.
“I have worked with Kris and her staff for over 8 years on small as well as large projects. Kris is always a step ahead of you, keeping the project on track and keeping you, the client, well informed as to the progress. She is quick to pick up on your personality – likes and dislikes – and guides the client in a very professional manner to make the right design choices. It is a joy to work with Kris and her staff.”
