The design reuses the existing core, extending it to house private conference and meeting functions to give employees views and access to natural light. Unique collaboration pods break up the expanses of open office space with the use of color, form and materiality. The existing acoustical ceiling was retained to control noise over the active work areas but is pulled away from the core and collaboration pods to showcase them as objects within a landscape of open office space. Materials like OSB, raw wood, and Homosote were selected for their natural and textural qualities rather than synthetic finishes more typical in a corporate setting. A color scheme was developed based on the company’s corporate color that complements the natural materials and highlights the different public collaboration areas in a unique way. Colored film on the two enclosed collaboration areas create colored artwork out of the notes and scribbles from brainstorming sessions that take place in transparent think tank rooms.
