Nextek Development

Opportunity
Nextek Development is a software development company dedicated to serving the financial services industry. Nextek’s integrated teams include best-in-class Business analysts, Developers, and Strategists dedicated to aligning technology and process.

When Nextek purchased a two-story building in Shoreview, Archimea was designer in charge of the renovation process, including hiring and collaborating with a structural engineer.

Solution
The scope of work included completely gutting the interior, replacing the exterior windows, opening up the existing atrium and adding a two-story stadium seating area.

The interior spaces were redeveloped with improved daylighting and circulation. Bright accent colors add direction and visual interest in the space. Flooring patterns reinforce the theme with geometry and precision. Design elements include corrugated metals and cable wire handrails to create an industrial design aesthetic. Technology such as large video screens for testing and demonstrations, along with employee gaming areas, enhance the employee experience.

Result
The 25,000 SF remodeling project in Shoreview was completed in 2021.

Archimea successfully converted a former medical building into an inspiring and functional corporate office destination with a contemporary industrial design direction.

The new design supports the objective of attracting the best and brightest talent in the IT field. Archimea helped support Nextek’s mission of combining industry-leading knowledge and strategy together in data-driven solutions that make retirement a more attainable goal for everyone.
