Bamboo Coworking Space is a complete transformation of an iconic downtown Grand Rapids building into a modern, 40,000-square-foot collaborative workspace. Vork Brothers Painting completed the full interior office painting scope across the lower level, main level, and floors 3 through 5.
Bamboo designed the space to support entrepreneurship, collaboration, and flexible work environments in downtown Grand Rapids. Learn more about Bamboo’s vision for the space.
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 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 level of coordination, craftsmanship, and finish consistency delivered throughout the project
