“The mountains, the rivers, the lakes. There's so much abundance here. And that is reflected in the choices that we made in the space, in the graphics, in the furniture, in the materiality, the wood tones, and the warmth of the space in the accessories,” said Denyse Sharp, Chief Administrative Officer of Tangram.

The design also integrates local motifs, from almond blossom graphics on workstation panels to watercolor depictions of mountains. The main conference room draws inspiration from Shaver Lake, adorned with Tom Dixon Melt pendant lights that evoke the essence of bubbles. 

Additionally, the Greenmood Preserved Plant wall, highlighted with firefly lights, pays homage to Sequoia National Park's unique glowing millipede, further connecting the space to Fresno's natural heritage.

A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

The showroom not only showcases the scenic beauty of Fresno but also serves as a functional space for Tangram's team. Alyssa Armesto, Tangram Vice President, Central Valley, commented, “Our space is designed to be aspirational for our clients but also functional for our team because we work here. It’s dual purpose.”

The Fresno showroom is outfitted with a variety of materials and textures to demonstrate the vast array of options available to clients. It includes different areas for various modes of working and socializing, from small and large meeting rooms to open work areas, Orangebox private booths, and a Wellness room equipped with soundscaping technology. Tangram Technology has integrated state-of-the-art technology throughout the space to support a hybrid workforce, reflecting the evolving nature of work environments.

Community-Centric Approach

Tangram Fresno is deeply rooted in the Fresno community, with every design decision reflecting a commitment to local culture and sustainability. Many of the accessories throughout the showroom were sourced from Old Town Clovis antique shops, and the space features specialty art pieces, including an oil painting of Yosemite by local artist Elizabeth Saltos.

“Even though we're a large organization, we are local through and through. Fresno is my hometown, so it is pretty incredible and rewarding to be able to service the valley and to be able to expose them to everything that Tangram has to offer,” said Alyssa Armesto.

Key Project Contributors

The project was brought to life through a collaboration of talented professionals and firms. Susie Tashiro, MOZU Architect + Partner, served as the architect, while Samantha East, Tangram Designer, led the interior design. Tangram Project Manager Glenn Lyon managed the project, ensuring seamless execution from start to finish.

The construction was handled by GL Bruno Associates, a leading general contractor. Tangram Falkbuilt’s digital component construction was used for some of the private offices and meeting rooms, showcasing the blend of digital innovation and traditional craftsmanship.
