Tech Office

This office redesign reimagined a single floor into a dynamic environment supporting collaboration, focus, training, and informal gatherings. A central “jewel box” anchors the layout, while bold graphics and carefully placed acoustic pods foster energy and functionality. Every element was designed to reflect and elevate the company’s vibrant culture.

Client's Vision

To re-energize an existing office space by reflecting the youthful, vibrant culture of the company, while supporting multiple modes of work with thoughtful zoning.

Design Strategy

We layered distinct zones across the floorplate to accommodate varied workstyles: open collaboration, quiet focus, formal meetings, and training sessions. The central feature, a bold meeting room, establishes a visual anchor for the entire space.

Key Challenge

Translating a lively company culture into a physical space without overwhelming the senses or sacrificing functional needs.

Our Solution

A palette anchored by a strong, energizing yellow and custom graphics on glazed partitions creates rhythm and cohesion. Acoustic pods offer dedicated, sound-proof spaces for focused work, while breakout areas near natural light support informal interactions and moments of pause.

Defining Moments

  • Central glass-wrapped meeting room as a focal point.
  • Custom-designed graphic film to balance privacy and vibrancy.
  • Sound-tight pods tailored for deep focus and small group work.
  • Sunlit breakout zones for connection and creativity.
