We re-established this office as a hospitable environment by incorporating aspects of home, workplace, and community
As a workplace predominantly focused on engineering, our client’s small office of roughly 80 employees needed to adapt to a count of 152 without sacrificing or compromising on the existing culture. In evaluating the existing conditions of the Madison, Wisconsin workplace, it was clear an expansion was necessary.
Our client’s approach to design is highly influenced by the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual life of each employee. Driven by this model, we focused the expansion design on re-establishing the workplace as a hospitable environment by incorporating places that feel like home, work, and the community. Acting as ‘Town Centers’, two residentially-designed micro-kitchens, complete with healthy food and drink options, a café with server, and a game room are positioned at the centers of the two-floor plates. The introduction of an outdoor roof deck, micro fitness center, bike rooms, showers, and gender-neutral restrooms demonstrated the client’s commitment to creating an environment where users can thrive.
Upon completion, our design of this expansion created an inclusive environment designed to prioritize wellness, optimize productivity, and create a sense of community within the client brand that leads to professional success and personal satisfaction.
