HARRISON, NY (April 13, 2021) - Hartman Design Group (HDG), an award-winning commercial interior design firm, has tapped Nard’s, a technology system designer and installer and URC, a global leader in automation systems, and to create inspirational, branded spaces.
The Hartman Design Group realized that smart design begins with its own office environment and team. Using technology, HDG engaged Nard’s to create uniquely branded spaces in its board room and social spaces. The system allowed the automation and control of audio/video software and components.
Designed by Nard’s, Inc. and built on URC’s Total Control automation and control system, technology is enabling Hartman Design to change the workplace environment. As Hartman Design Group moves beyond traditional design and operations approaches, it uses systems technology to:
- Create luxurious spaces by automating audio and video systems
- Showcase HDG’s innovative interior design presentations
- Unify control and automation across systems and environments
- Drive staff efficiency by eliminating simple tasks
“Having a considerable number of meetings and presentations both in person and via video chats, It was critical for our team to have a high tech conference room,” stated Phyllis Hartman, President and CEO of Hartman Design Group, Inc. She continued, “Nards delivered a system that was elegant, easy to use and produced great audio and video quality. This room now is a great space for us to gather for staff meetings, client presentations, and video calls.”
To help support this vision of branded, inspirational spaces, Hartman Design hired Nard’s to support the advanced technology infrastructure using URC’s Total Control Accelerator operating system and its superior hardware solutions. Components installed at the headquarters office include:
- base stations like the MRX-15
- user interface devices like the TKP-7100
- premium audio distribution DMS-100
