This space was an open-concept layout which needed to be modified to better suit the companies needs. The goal was to create purposeful spaces using boundaries both fixed and mobile that retained the property’s open nature, beautiful natural light, and connection to the outside. Along the interior perimeter, where private offices and meeting rooms were added, a wall of glass separates the private work spaces from the central workspace creating privacy while still allowing sunlight to permeate throughout. Determining a location for a generous, prominent boardroom presented another challenge because the ideal locations would potentially block the space’s best asset - its windows. So instead of building a solid partition to enclose this space, we used a retractable glass wall allowing for ultimate flexibility and a maintained connection to the outdoors.
