The established growth equity firm that invests in and grows companies in tech-enabled marketplaces partnered with Spaces Of and Corgan to design a hostable, intimate shared workspace hub for their New York office. Acting as an incubator and branding tool to attract founders, entrepreneurs, and leadership, the design facilitates modern work — easing communication, sparking connection, and supporting small groups with open workstations, meeting spaces, conference rooms, and a host of amenities.
The space unfolds with floor-to-ceiling glazing spanning two floors for abundant daylight and framing views of the Meatpacking District, Little Island, the Hudson River, The High Line, and East Manhattan. At night, the space comes to life with strategic interior and exterior lighting, creating an iconic element of the neighborhood’s streetscape.
Anchored by a grand staircase, the entry serves as the main artery to connect the floors while adding a bold design statement articulating the value of dynamic connectivity and relationships. The warm, personal interiors encourage connection and face-to-face communication within an increasingly high-tech world. Hospitality-forward moments feature a library and café, a wellness/nursing room, and an all-hands shared space. Lounge seating set amid lush natural references and soft materials in tans, greens, and blues invites team members to relax, reflect, and regroup. Corrugated stand-alone phone booths and individual workstations allow private spaces for heads-down work or quick touch-down opportunities while layered meeting rooms and back-to-back desks offer collaborative zones to engage larger teams for sustained work.
A meeting room shaped like a giant egg breaks up the lines and creates a soft element to facilitate circulation and a sense of scale. The outer shell clad in white oak slats enshrines an intimate space padded in acoustic felt panels and stretch fabric, creating a calm sensory experience for small group interaction. On the top floor, a boardroom cantilevered over the Hudson River with wall-to-wall glass overlooks the water as a backdrop for the crowning space.
The new headquarters tap into the power of design to activate space as a collaborative tool, bringing teams face-to-face to form partnerships and fuel business growth at the nexus of New York’s culture and commerce.
