Collaboration with Tina Barnard Designs
A leading provider of software solutions that protect data from insider threats and cyber-attacks, recently moved their North Carolina operation into a space designed by Pliskin Architecture, situated in an office park outside of Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU).
The new office is a colorful intervention in a 14,000sf ground floor space. Leveraging tall ceilings (as high as 14′ in certain areas), the office draws employees through a series of public spaces, and encourages encounters across teams, through both formal and informal gathering settings. From a dedicated play area in the break-room (including both video games on a 70″ screen and old arcade games) to meeting rooms that abandon a corporate feel and adopt a residential vocabulary, the ground is set for a workplace environment that fosters a new office culture for the company’s growing presence in North Carolina. The furnishings include a few custom elements, from raw steel and wormy maple workstations, through a conference table supported by an 80 year-old truss from a local water tower, to a 20-person table communal table designed by Pliskin Architecture and fabricated by Bull City Designs in Durham.
