The primary challenge of desigining this new corporate headquarters was finding a way to transform a boring 1980’s suburban office building into a commercial space with as much wow factor as the products that this company creates.

The first and most important move in the renovation of the office building was to remove large portions of the upper floors toward the front of the structure, creating a large, open atrium space. The atrium serves as a wayfinding element around which one circulates throughout the building and also provides space for a celebratory stair which literally activates the facade of the building.

We employed a combination of sleek, industrial materials with warmer tones and wood elements to generate a feeling of warmth throughout the space but maintain the edginess of the corporate identity. A large trophy display case becomes a vertical element that extends through the atrium and becomes both a feature wall and source of company pride.

Cafe and lounge spaces are distributed throughout each floor to foster a sense of creativity and collaboration throughout the offices and into the executive suites.
