MetroNational, a privately-held real estate investment, development, and management company headquartered in Houston, Texas, ​ partnered with Inventure to design a flexible, rentable training/ meeting facility in one of their premier Memorial City properties.

The scope was to transform an empty shell space adjacent to the building’s main lobby into a versatile, high-performing environment that could serve multiple tenants and evolving functions.

It was executed as two main areas - an area for catering and socializing and a training room. This training space could operate as one large space or be easily divided into two or three smaller rooms, accomplished using Sky fold operable partitions.

One of its biggest challenges was incorporating that high volume of AV equipment, movable partition requirements, and appliances in a smaller space. Everything has to be placed very thoughtfully. Given its location just off the main building entrance, it was essential for the design to seamlessly blend with the established aesthetic of the lobby. The finishes in the space were carefully selected to create a calming, welcoming atmosphere.The rich blue carpet was inspired by MetroNational’s signature color. The rest of the space was kept light and bright many light wood accents, and other pops of blue! Fabric-wrapped panels were added for acoustics, but also to create cohesion of the skyfold material.
