Quirky.com, the social product development company, in the Terminal Stores Building at 606 West 28th Street. Quirky, moved from its headquarters at 628 Broadway, occupies approximately 27,000 square feet on the building’s 7th (top) floor.
Spector developed office space that leverages unique, original elements of the Terminal Stores Building – including its heavy timber, wide-planked wood floors, which Spector refurbished – while simultaneously reflecting the cutting-edge innovation and energy of Quirky. The space also comprises exposed beams, brick walls, concrete and skylights – giving the new offices a raw, edgy aesthetic.
A highlight of the space is a glass-enclosed ’Clean Room’ – integral to the creation of the prototype, three-dimensional models that serve as the basis of Quirky’s business. Spector also designed a series of large, collaborative areas; open-plan seating (known as “the Pit”) for employees; product showroom and display sections; and multiple conference rooms, phone rooms, libraries and media rooms, as well as a cafe/coffee bar. As a top-floor occupant, Quirky has access to an approximately 1,500 square foot roof deck, featuring spectacular 360° views.
