Bespoke Office Design for ERCOT, Austin TX
CORE Office Interiors was selected to partner with Urban Foundry Architects, and Rand Construction to bring a new vision to life for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Our mission was to create a sophisticated and highly functional office environment that powerfully reflects the client’s timeless brand identity and the distinctive spirit of Texas.
We delivered a complete turnkey solution, merging elegant design with advanced technology and acoustic engineering. The result is a bespoke space that enhances collaboration, focus, and company culture.
The Challenge
The project required a workspace that could successfully:
- Embody Brand Identity: Translate a respected, timeless brand into a physical environment that feels both professional and authentically Texan.
- Support Diverse Functions: Accommodate a wide range of needs, from intense focus work and advanced technical training to large gatherings and collaborative sessions.
- Integrate Seamless Technology: Implement professional-grade audio-visual systems that are intuitive to use and support hybrid collaboration without technical friction.
- Optimize Acoustics: Engineer the soundscape to ensure privacy in sensitive areas and minimize disruptive noise in open zones.
COREoi’s Solution
1. Strategic Space Planning
We designed distinct areas within the built environment to support specific work modes and functions:
- Custom Lobby: A striking first impression that immediately communicates the client’s brand and stature.
- Serene Working Spaces: Areas designed for deep focus and individual productivity, free from distractions and noise.
- Advanced Training & Multipurpose Rooms: Flexible, technological spaces equipped to handle everything from hands-on training to all-hands meetings.
2. Integrated Technology & Acoustic Design
We eliminated common meeting room frustrations by deploying seamless, professional-grade solutions.

- Acoustic Optimization: Engineered soundscapes using sound-absorbing panels and acoustic treatments to tame echoes, ensure speech clarity, and prevent sound from leaking between spaces.
3. Purpose-Built Furniture Selection
We selected furnishings that balance aesthetics, durability, and comfort to support every task.
