2022 Best Commercial Project – Entry 2

In the spring of 2021, Renovations by Garman took on the task of building a brand-new office space for Black Diamond Financial Group. After several years of occupying a previous office in Wyomissing, Black Diamond was ready to branch out to a fresh location in Denver, Pennsylvania. Their needs for the new space included a reception area, conference rooms, individual offices, and a company kitchenette. The process of designing the building’s exterior was simple because the client was inspired by Garman’s office building facade and requested a slightly-altered rendition of the same design. The configuration of Black Diamond’s lot required that the building be positioned with the front entrance facing the main road. To create an eye-catching exterior, Renovations by Garman contrasted weathered stack stone against the clean board-and-batten siding, accented by sleek black metal awnings at the windows and front entry. Inside, the finishes of the new office space include the luxury vinyl plank, commercial carpet, dark cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, and custom-etched glass paneling displaying Black Diamond’s logo. As customers step through the front door, they are welcomed by a spacious lobby with rustic wood cladding along the back wall and industrial lighting fixtures above the front desk. It was an honor for Garman to serve as the builder of this project and as the inspiration for its design.
