Alexandria Real Estate is an urban office Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) uniquely focused on world-class collaborative science and technology campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations.
This 6,900 SF renovation and reconfiguration began with conversations around how to design a workplace to better support the needs of the staff and appeal to the firm’s tech-based clientele.
Through extensive collaboration with the client, we re-planned a unique triangular shaped office space, crafting it to be more open and collaborative. An ‘environment of choice’ was created, providing a variety of work settings for people to choose from. A mix of collaborative settings – fireplace lounge, library, café – were reinterpreted from residential space types. A layered arrival and entry experience reflects their brand and creates a welcoming area that didn’t exist before. The new workplace has enabled people to talk to each other and hang out more, encouraging people to work differently and more collaboratively.
