kpe offices
860, Broadway, Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
Type
YEAR
1998
As with any
young, fast growing technology based company, required new office
space for its growing number of employees, and an image presentable to their
high profile clients. In a 11,000 s.f.
full floor open loft space above union square, the intention was to build as
little as possible within the long narrow l-shaped space to allow the natural
light to reach all points yet still provide workspaces for developers,
programmers and others.
With three
walls of windows and a long demising wall with none, the blank wall was a
prominent element. The solution used the
long wall as both an organizer, lumps of offices were stuck to it with simple
work surfaces in between office blocks, and as a reflective surface, a light
greenish painted plaster reflected the natural light as a strange green murmur
felt throughout the space.
Along the
blank wall, the office blocks were constructed of light gauge steel studs, the
simplest of structural systems, with applied panels of varying translucencies
to allow light to penetrate into the offices. Clear green acrylic gave glimpses of the exterior and let light in
making these small spaces much ;larger as they participated in the entire space
visually. From the exterior the
materials glowed under both natural light from skylights above and artificial
lights at night. The glow of the boxes
fills adjacent workareas with an even light 24/7.
Simple
materials were used to create modular workspaces between office blocks. P-lam, brushed aluminum, translucent plastis,
etc.
At the head of
the long blank wall, windows above union square provide light and views of both
the farmers market below and sky above.
A glazed wall with operable panels seperates the conference room from
the open loft-like attitude of the lounge and entry and the technology laden
conference room. The mirror glazing reflects
the windows and dark tint subdues the intense affects they provide. plycem paneled walls, the only floor to
ceiling walls within the space, enclose the room on the three remaining
sides. A cabinet containing the computer
and av systems powering the room opposes the dark tinted wall.
