Brand Story

“Fix What Is Not Broken” —Engineer’s Motto

Our design revolves around the spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and deconstruction—the sparks that ignite remarkable innovation. With exposed mechanical and lighting systems, we showcase the inner workings of Coffman Engineering’s detailed ingenuity for clients and visitors to be inspired by. Environmental graphics continue the theme, like an engine pulled apart, revealing the pieces inside. Responding to the angular and crisp interior elements, softer, circular brand features add contrast while maintaining the grid-like alignment. The two personified conference rooms balance the mathematical tone of circulation spaces. Each room is named after a famous engineer who inspires the company’s commitment to innovation. A wall graphic honors their likeness and invention. Each branded element combines to showcase the expertise and aspirations of Coffman: a thriving company, committed to engineering excellence.
