IRS National Headquarters
The IRS National Headquarters renovation required window treatments that would meet stringent federal security and fire safety standards while modernizing the visual environment of a historic government building. OrangePiel worked closely with the General Services Administration and the IRS facilities team to develop custom roller shades that provide privacy screening for sensitive work areas, glare reduction for the thousands of computer workstations, and a contemporary aesthetic that respects the building's architectural heritage. The project included specialized shades for public-facing areas, executive offices, and high-security zones, all meeting GSA procurement requirements and federal building codes.

Project Overview
Modernizing Federal Workspaces
The IRS National Headquarters renovation required window treatments that could meet the unique demands of federal government facilities—stringent security requirements, complex procurement processes, and the need to modernize historic spaces respectfully.
Federal Requirements
Working with the General Services Administration, we navigated the specialized requirements of federal projects including security clearances, GSA procurement standards, and historic preservation considerations.
- Privacy screening for sensitive work areas and executive offices
- Glare reduction for thousands of computer workstations
- Fire-rated materials meeting federal building codes
- Tamper-resistant mounting systems for high-security zones
- Coordination with historic preservation requirements
A Modern Government Workplace
The installation transformed aging office spaces into modern, comfortable work environments. Employees gained better control over their immediate surroundings, and the updated aesthetic helps attract and retain talented staff in an increasingly competitive job market.
