Reflecting Purpose and Passion in the Workplace
Bluewater Studio was selected to execute, produce and install Kahler Slater’s vision for an immersive work environment that reflects the purpose and passion of AEM. The result is a space that communicates the organization’s identity in a bold and memorable way.
At their Milwaukee, WI headquarters, this new design highlight’s AEM’s legacy and impact. A large crane section in AEM’s signature red becomes a design focal point, while recessed niches throughout the space showcase equipment models from various AEM companies.
Detailed graphic applications help further enrich the environment. Most notably, large-scale “Super Graphics” extend across a pair of two-story curtain walls, featuring to-scale silhouettes of heavy machinery. Together, these elements contribute to a workplace that reflects AEM’s mission and inspires pride among employees.
“The end product was superior, transformative and highly reflective of the industry we represent in a unique and impactful way. From design to install, the Bluewater team was creative, meticulous, highly attentive and customer focused.” – Judy Gaus – Vice President, HR & Operations – Association of Equipment Manufacturers
