This expansion for a technology company tripled the area of the global headquarters in NYC, and allowed them to reinvent their office culture in the process. Organizational shifts, from cubicles to collaborative benching systems and from formal meeting rooms to informal activity hubs across the office, were introduced to best align the new space with the company’s brand. With some spaces expose the building’s infrastructure, and other spaces are highly finished, the office now accommodates a range of activities from the Boardroom, through phone booths, to flexible hoteling stations.
This full floor renovation is the last of a series, and creates a contrast from the previously completed floors. Leaving much of the structure raw, using a grid of lights that follows an existing waffle slab, and using complimenting warm and dark materials, this floor infuses an industrial feel alongside minimal detailing, and distributes spaces for work, collaboration and play throughout the floor.
