STAFFELBACH: Tiger Woods Gets Pumped Inside Staffelbach Design

Everyone is chatting about it, this morning:

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram talked about it, here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/09/21/2485995/fort-worth-visit-proves-tiger.html

Tiger Woods was bench pressing 315 pounds at a fitness center in Fort Worth, Texas early Tuesday morning, as part of a Nike photo shoot with Anthony Kim and Paul Casey, according to a Fort Worth Star Telegram story.

“The workout Tiger did would resemble what an NFL safety would do,” fitness center owner Larry North told the Star-Telegram. “His strength is mind-boggling for a guy his size. He is very fit and very, very strong. He’s in great shape.”

Tiger Woods was up so early in Fort Worth last week, it’s unlikely that any locals noticed he was on the move. His always faithful sponsor, Nike, wanted to shoot a promo video of Tiger in the gym. The location was Larry North Fitness in downtown Fort Worth.
“At 5:30 Thursday morning, a very bright-eyed Tiger Woods walked into our gym,” says Larry. “Let me tell you, this guy know his way around a weight room. He worked out and was very nice, very friendly and very pumped up.”
Nike golfers Anthony Kim and Paul Casey were also on hand for the shoot.
The day before, Tiger visited The Oven (that’s the Fort Worth Nike Golf research and development center).

What makes this special to us is that this space – the Fort Worth Larry North Fitness Center in downtown Fort Worth, Texas was designed by Staffelbach.

STAFFELBACH – What Makes Us Smile

There is so much that we love about our work; but, it really makes us happy to receive great words from a client that we’ve worked with.

A lovely note came to our President and CEO (an accomplished designer in her own right) Jo Heinz.

It reads:
“Dear Jo, I cannot begin to express the gratitude towards you, Andre and the entire Staffelbach team for making our office so amazing.  We always knew that our ‘home away from home’ is something pretty amazing and being featured in Corporate Interiors is icing on the cake!  We are proud to have the Staffelbach name associated with our office.”

We always enjoy these kinds of awards as they showcase exactly what matters most to us: complete client satisfaction.

STAFFELBACH COMPLETES COLLABORATION WITH WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL

DALLAS, TEXAS – August 20, 2010– National interior architecture and design firm, Staffelbach, has completed 7,800 square foot of office space for the Dallas / Fort Worth World Affairs Council. Staffelbach assisted in every facet of project development from the selection of the new location to the build out, design and furniture coordination.

“This project was an opportunity for us to assist an organization that assists so many others,” said Jo Heinz, Staffelbach president and CEO. “For us to be a part of every aspect of their decision in finding a new home for their work was a delight. We felt we were a part of their family.”

Working closely with the Council, Staffelbach established budget pricing for the entire project which included construction, furniture and signage. It was within that agreed-upon scope that Staffelbach was able to coordinate with contractors and vendors to create cost-effective alternatives. A great amount of thought was put into the green-initiatives of the project, as well. The environmental sustainability of the project was encouraged by being able to reuse approximately 25% of the building’s existing products.

Staffelbach’s expertise, and continuous study of the way design positively affects workers occupying a space, provided increased work space flexibility while encouraging collaboration among the members. The Council moved into their new home, located on the 42^nd floor of Republic Tower, in May where they are now able to host events in-house – a task previously impossible to execute.
