OVERVIEWPointBridge develops business collaboration software. Their Chicago office supports a teaming environment with multiple sizes and types of meeting spaces. Shortly after moving into their new space, the partners noticed a significant increase in the number of staff who chose to work in the office rather than from remote locations. Adding a layer of texture to the space, PointBridge has adopted a rotating art program whereby they can feature the work of emerging artists in a gallery-like setting.CHALLENGESCreate a space that supports a very mobile staff with a teaming culture.Incorporate flexible spaces that can accommodate large monthly staff gatherings.Capture the image of a young energetic company within the constraints of a modest budget.SOLUTIONSDifferent types and sizes of meeting rooms provide privacy for lively team interaction, while all private offices are replaced by workstations, providing daylight for the entire staff.A glass and aluminum overhead door allows a large meeting room and break area to combine into a large gathering space.A neutral palette is accented with splashes of color, while dynamic architectural elements enliven the space.
