PLT Health Solutions moves into newly designed Morristown space

In February, Colliers announced it negotiated a lease extension and expansion for PLT Health Solutions that would keep the developer and marketer of ingredient solutions for the natural products, food, beverage and cosmeceuticals markets at Morristown’s Headquarters Plaza.

The move to the North Tower of the complex gave staff members views of the Morristown Green. Inside, PLT has new views, as well, following the build out of the space, announced April 18 by Kimmerle Group, which was enlisted for the project at 119 Headquarters Plaza. The new space incorporates existing items along with new ones for a feeling the Harding Township-based architecture and planning firm describes as elegant and refined, while also feeling current and fresh.

“This was a real opportunity to create a space that reflects PLT’s overall wellness and health platform. Green walls and natural woods combine with sleek glass to allow sunlight to penetrate and permeate the space throughout,” Kimmerle Group Vice President Paul Newman said in a statement.

Kimmerle Newman Architects, the firm’s architectural and interior design division, and Kimmerle Workspace, which provides procurement and purchasing services, worked together to complete the project for the client, with the latter also carrying out branding and graphics. According to Kimmerle, PLT was looking to refresh its office space, and its move afforded the opportunity to craft a space that is more reflective of the company for its employees.

Newman added: “It was clear PLT was enjoying the design process!”

PLT is frequently visited by clients, so creating reception and conference areas that make visitors feel welcome was important. Living walls add a burst of color, bringing the outdoors in, to the reception area and elevator lobby for a modern feel. The lobby was also outfitted with spaces for PLT to display its products, which is doubly fitting as Kimmerle said the client’s own branding played a part in choosing materials for the office.

Where it fit, existing elements of the space — some of the woodwork in the lobby and reception area, that space’s natural slate floors, and existing woodwork in the conference rooms — were retained in the new design. Select pieces of furniture and fixtures were also reused, incorporated with new finishes and pieces to refresh the existing elements.

“PLT Health Solutions is a company that brings a unique set of value propositions to a very diverse, progressive, and global customer base,” PLT Health Chief Operating Officer Devin Stagg said. “We wanted our headquarters space to reflect these capabilities and to provide a highly collaborative space for our people, our suppliers and our customers.”

Glass-fronted offices offer more workstations with window views, and provide as much natural light — taking advantage of the firm’s new view in the 13-floor building — and open space as possible.

A central canteen connects to a collaborative work area near the window line, Kimmerle said, allowing for full staff meetings, company gatherings or other celebrations.

“Our new facilities reflect the creativity and commitment to human health and environmental friendliness that are hallmarks of the PLT business,” Stagg added.
