THE BRIEF

Remodel and repurpose an existing first floor space into a new work area for staff IT personnel.

THE DEEPER ISSUE

The space needed to help attract and retain staff. The balance of the organization’s space worked well for its staff of editors and administrative team, however it did not align with the needs of a flexible, energetic, and dynamic IT development team.

THE PROCESS

Create an environment centered on activity-based working. Offer extensive access to natural light. Make use of an interesting floor plate to create zones for focus work, collaboration, and community. Use high contrast materials, open ceilings, and varying light zones to create visual texture and movement.
