Allspring Milwaukee: Grounding Office Design with Tile
When Allspring relocated its Wisconsin operations into a reimagined workspace within one of the city's most storied neighborhoods, the design team needed commercial porcelain tile that could do more than cover a surface. They required a deliberate pattern choice that would anchor the space and define the design. With our tile, they transformed a surface into a signature.
A Pattern That Does the Work
On the floor, the design team combined 12x12 and 6x6 tiles from our Volume 1.0™ series in a hopscotch pattern. The mixed scale simulates movement across the space, creating a surface that draws the eye without competing against the environment around it.
The interplay between the two formats breaks the visual monotony of the tile while staying grounded in the quiet, cement-inspired aesthetic that makes Volume 1.0 a strong choice for commercial office flooring. The specific tile, Vapor, keeps the palette open and airy, with a hue that reads as a natural complement to the structural elements characteristic of Historic Third Ward architecture.
Built for the Commercial Environment
For commercial office tile design, it’s important to have tile that performs as well as it looks.
The Volume 1.0 series, along with many of our other series, is made in the USA, glazed porcelain tile engineered for spaces that see real, everyday use. StepWise™ technology provides a superior level of slip resistance, meeting the demands of a high-traffic office environment without sacrificing the refined aesthetic the design team was after. Our green manufacturing process takes that commitment further, producing LEED®-compliant tile to support certification goals and the broader push toward more sustainable commercial spaces.
Where Modern Design Meets Historic Character
Volume 1.0 in Vapor was the right tile for the moment: understated enough to respect the architecture, refined enough to signal a modern workplace. The hopscotch pattern brought a layer of design intention to the floor that honors both the building's character and the brand making it home.
The result is a workspace that feels considered from the ground up. View the full case study here.
