WorkSpaces Hosts its Second Annual Global Summit
What an exciting year it has been for WorkSpaces! Between establishing our New York location alongside the growth of our Baltimore and DC offices, we have certainly been quite busy. On Monday, January 23, all of our employees from our three locations met in Baltimore to kick off our two day WorkSpaces extravaganza, where we had a chance to recap an amazing 2011, as well as unveil our ambitions for 2012.
Day one encompassed everything from the grand tour of our Baltimore location (which also moonlights as a working showroom) to a Jung Typology Personality Test pizza party, where we had a chance to find out a bit more about our coworkers, as well as ourselves. And of course, no WorkSpaces event would be complete without an after party! Drinks and hors d’oeuvres were served at Pazo, which offered a wonderful atmosphere to close the evening.
The second day of the summit was when we really got down to business at the Four Seasons, Baltimore. Although we can’t divulge our grand plans for the year, we can certainly promise that our aspirations are nothing short of “AMAZING!!!!” (as our fearless leader, Tom McGuire, would say).
WorkSpaces prides itself on the emphasis of the individual, because, after all, it’s all of our employees that drive us to stand out from the crowd. Not only is this recognized, but celebrated at our Global Summit, and we can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support and hard work. We are looking forward to another successful year, and can’t wait for WorkSpaces Global Summit 2013!

With a focus on Charity, the 2011 Annual Builders Ball promotes the National Capitol Area community from within the Design, Construction, and Real Estate Industries. Our very own Dorlise O’Hara was a “Queen” nominee, for the evening, and represented WorkSpaces with elegance and grace! With her contagious smile, it’s no wonder she was crowned the “Queen of Laughter”!
Held on November 19, 2011 at the National Building Museum, the evening was a huge success. There were over 800 people in attendance, and record numbers of donations were set by this year’s Builder’s Ball Court. Just to give an idea of just how much money was donated; in previous years, this event has raised over $1,210,000 in net profits to these area charities:
Community Residences (CR), Inc. of Chantilly, VA
Georgia Avenue/Rock Creek East Family Support Collaborative – Washington, DC
Phoenix Houses of the Mid–Atlantic – Arlington, VA
Washington Architectural Foundation – Washington, DC
Everyone had a wonderful time, and we hope to see everyone in attendance next year for a great cause! For pictures of the event, please click here.
Team Kaplan along with our partner Inscape has just wrapped up a significant installation in Pittsburgh, for Liberty Tire. The project was a huge success, and since this is our New York Offices’ first major installation, we thought we would share it with you!
There are both photos of the workstations as well as “Liberty Cafe”, which includes tables from Furniture Lab, with custom graphic tops with images of tires, etc, along with Sandler seating.
Brett Kaplan, Gerard Genieve, Jamie Meyers, and Carly Keith all did an excellent job with this project, and we would like to thank you for all your hard work!
Liberty Tire is a green solution, and a premier provider of tire recycling services across the United States. For more information on Liberty Tire, please click here.

Check out the work of art we purchased at Hickok Cole’s Art Night 2011! Soon to be on display in our New York office, proceeds from the sale of this piece are shared 50/50 between the artist and the Washington Project for the Arts.
Great to see everyone who made it out, and congratulations to all the artists that had the opportunity to showcase their amazing work!
