Mantle

As the workplace evolves and technology allows us to conduct business from beyond the confines of our cubicles, non-traditional office spaces have become a more viable option for small businesses and entrepreneurs alike. Less expensive than a permanent office location but more dynamic than your home office, co-working spaces are popping up across the country and CDFL is proud to have partnered with Mantle to bring Jackson, Mississippi’s Fondren neighborhood its first office space of this kind.

Located in the historic Duling School, the team wanted to repurpose as much of the original school’s features as possible. Original millwork, cabinets, and lockers from the Duling School were repurposed and incorporated into the new design.

CDFL worked with the Mantle team on the brainstorming and vision for Mantle’s design, including furniture selection. Our team was responsible for space planning, repurposing the old teachers’ cabinets as cafe and lounge space millwork; and designing the reception desk. Additionally, CDFL provided code information and designed the space’s restrooms.
