Michael Pilevsky, Official account On Vimeo Looks At Conceptualizing Office Space

As the Michael Pilevsky official account on Vimeo reveals, designing and conceptualizing the uses of office space is of crucial importance in maximizing the profit margins of each and every company. Indeed, when it comes to increasing the productivity of your business, it is important to consider the physical layout and overall design of your office. An office’s space should be a reflection of the goals of a company. An open floor plan without walls or cubicles could inspire more communication and internal cooperation. A floor plan with individual quiet spaces or closed off meeting rooms might give employees the privacy they need to focus and get their work done. No matter what your goal is, your office space will affect your productivity, either positively or negatively. That is why it is important to take the layout of your office seriously.

Philip Pilevsky, Founder, Owner, and CEO of Philips International, alongside his sons, Michael and Seth Pilevsky, understands the importance of building design. Philips International is one of the nation's leaders in acquiring, developing, and managing both commercial and residential properties. They hold more than two hundred properties around the country including hotels, office spaces, residential lots, commercial condominiums, and shopping centers. But this wasn’t always the case. Philip Pilevsky started off smaller, like many do. In late 1960’s, Philip Pilevsky entered the real estate business by buying and reselling land that was immune from stringent zoning requirements. He received a twenty percent interest in the project from the friend whose land he was working with.

According to Seth Pilevsky, the makings of a real estate company began in the 1970s. Philip Pilevsky had moved beyond focusing on just land and instead turned his attention to the buildings on it. He and a partner began building shopping centers in Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. Also in the 1970’s, Philip Pilevsky was asked to step in and help with a renovation of one of New York’s most iconic cities, Long Beach. At this time, Long Beach was in a serious economic crisis. The state had defunded many of the areas psychiatric centers under the mistaken impression that they would be better off in a real-life community environment. These individuals were housed in empty resort hotel in Long Beach, leading to lower home values for the area.

Philip Pilevsky was brought in to build a 150-room hotel, a catering hall with a banquet capacity of almost 500 people, a convention center, a restaurant at the boardwalk level, numerous shops, an outdoor amphitheaters for concerts, and an assisted-living center for seniors.This vast background of experience is what has motivated Philip, Seth, and Michael Pilevsky’s developments today. He focuses on understanding the intention of the space and then designs a building around that goal. His success is tangible, as any interested visitor or achitectural student toNew York City will willingly testify.
