Bamboo Coworking Space is a complete transformation of an iconic downtown building into a modern, 40,000-square-foot collaborative workspace. Vork Brothers Painting handled the full interior office painting in Grand Rapids across the lower level, main level, and floors 3 through 5.
Originally built as an art gallery, the building needed finishes that worked with its existing structure instead of hiding it. Bamboo designed the space to support entrepreneurship, collaboration, and flexible work downtown. You can read more about Bamboo’s vision for the space here.
Multi-Surface Interior Coating Systems
Coordinated coatings applied across drywall, CMU, spray foam ceilings, and metal surfaces to deliver a clean, cohesive finish throughout the space, each one specified to exact room finish schedule requirements.
Accelerated Multi-Floor Production
Multiple crews operated simultaneously, phasing production strategically to meet an aggressive schedule without sacrificing quality.
Dry Fall Application on Exposed Ceilings
Dry fall coatings were applied across exposed spray foam ceilings and overhead areas to create the clean industrial-modern appearance that defines the space.
Design-Focused Architectural Finishes
Bold accent colors, exposed structural elements, and detailed finish transitions helped shape the final coworking environment.
2026 Excellence in Construction Award Nominee
This project was nominated for ABC Western Michigan Chapter’s Excellence in Construction Award for the coordination, craftsmanship, and finish consistency delivered throughout.
