Family owned and operated Hughes Marino in San Diego, CA recently completed an overhaul of their downtown offices. With state of the art (and style) installations and furniture, the company set out to make sure the working environment was as close to a family environment as possible. Recently, through the GUNNAR Optiks B2B program, Hughes Marino completed another renovation — that of their eyesight.
Shay Hughes, COO of Hughes Marino who was in charge of the office renovation, was looking for further ways to enhance the office experience and lives of Hughes Marino employees. The company stresses certain core values that are fundamental to a healthy life, healthy business and now, healthy vision. They believe that trust, generosity, authenticity, gratitude and the rest of the golden rules are key to keeping employees and clients happy.
With a lobby that resembles a living room, custom sofas and leather chairs by Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture, Hughes Marino doesn't skimp on keeping their employees and clients comfortable. An 80-inch flat screen displays family photos, while a baby grand piano plays itself (with the help of an iPod). With an office full of musicians, Shay also added a set of Taylor guitars during the renovation. Of course, no office in this style would be complete without items from Restoration Hardware. All this in a solid and dedicated effort to enhance their core values and make everything feel like home.
"Our core values apply in both business and family," said President Jason Hughes in a Fine Homes and Living interview. "They aren’t some secret. It’s really about doing the right thing." In this particular case, the right thing was purchasing a pair of GUNNAR glasses for every employee in the building. The most popular styles being the Haus Onyx in Crystalline and Joule Tortoise.
