SockWell, a compression and therapeutic sock company was established in 2008 with headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Their merchandise launched in 2011 and can be found online and limited retailers in Tennessee. With an emphasis on “feeling better in style,” SockWell has “reinvented the therapeutic sock by spinning innovative technology with modern styling for a modern lifestyle look.” With an emphasis on sustainability and wellness benefits, SockWell’s website, color scheme, and vision encourage a calm and comfortable appearance with a modern design twist. Just as their brand inspires wellness in their consumers, it also emphasizes the importance of giving staff and consumers a health and wellnessfocused lifestyle. Customers pictured on their site are generally set to appeal to clients who are constantly on their feet. However, the brand also appeals to consumers who seek a sense of outdoor adventure.
WHY?
5 SockWell has branded themselves as an obvious choice for fashion, sustainability, and an overall lifestyle. With materials featuring homegrown and sustainably sourced merino wool, SockWell is focused on the wellness of their clients, stressing how invested they are in well-chosen materials, well-constructed design, and wellconsidered practices (Sockwell Staff, 2019).
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS: Since SockWell focuses on sustainability, their workplace design should include organic forms and shapes throughout, while also fully integrating honest materials and sustainable sourcing. As Chattanooga, Tennessee is already their headquarters, SockWell staff have knowledge of the city, including it’s up and coming qualities and environmental justice progress. These factors may translate into the story and design of the brand. Though a small company, collaborative efforts are a must between departments, influencing the sense of community and the ability to organically design for the group as a whole. Through this, different zoning, acoustical, and visual cues need to be considered. The space should accommodate the company’s growth as executives wish to hire more employees or expand departments in the Chattanooga, Tennessee branch headquarters.

Loved by customers who are always on their feet, SockWell’s target audience includes consumers of all ages who enhoy their sustainably sourced merino wool.
FLATTER:
A flatter organization is one that generally centers on collaboration and the sense of community between all departments in the organization. The ability to foster staff communication enables efficiency, work-flow, and functionality within the company, which, in turn, allows innovation and removes hierarchy established in older and more traditionally established companies. SockWell has two partners serving as the chief executive officers and 2 to 4 other executive staff that they oversee (Sockwell Staff, 2019). However, these executives have a variety of employees that they are able to oversee consisting of groups and more freelance employees.
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS: The design must provide a variety of seating for employees to choose from that encourages interdepartmental collaboration without hindering the traditional work environment that some employees may be accustomed to. In order to have a more hands-on approach, the executive staff should be adjacent to their staff and have a variety of seating areas to work in, allowing them to both oversee staff and establish closer relationships. There should be a disbursement of dedicated work stations and informal work areas that enable staff to find their ideal work station while also finding their place within the company.

The location site for the SockWell office is adjacent to a bike sharing service which will enable staff to ride into the city as a method of community, rejuvenation, and sustainability, citing their company’s mission statement. Its being adjacent to a more sustainable source of transportation aligns with the city of Chattanooga’s impact on their own environment to get to the above average air quality it has now through political and social efforts. Being near the Finley Football Stadium will allow sound to travel throughout the week, making acoustic selections within the office very pertinent. However, being so close to such a populated area aligns with the company’s people-centered ideals. Since the building receives warm light from the Southern and Western sides, cooler colors should be used in the spaces where they are directly hit, avoiding to energizing of a space.

DESIGN IMPLICATIONS:
The office design should include hints of brand culture, location heritage, and history. As employees of the Chattanooga branch, sustainability and popular amenities that have revitalized the city are likely a source of civic priority. A main goal is to design a space where the company branding is clear, but the vernacular is present; these features will help employees feel like more at home. Including a company’s history such as the story about the founders and their plans for the future is important to share as it shows staff what they are aiming for in the long run as retention rates are higher in more dynamic and collaborative spaces. Since the partners are still a part of the company, a more apparent branding will enable them to establish closer relationships with their staff, bringing forth the notion of a smaller community within the office (Fox & Shapiro, 2018).
Trend: Include a visual reminder of why employees come into work everyday.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Employees want to feel a sense of purpose. Designers can approach this in an office space through wall art, furniture, decor, and signage (Ryan, 2018). Designers should account for the incoming workforce as they often want to feel like they are a part of a larger community. New designs enable the younger generation like their job or brand is affecting the world. Visual reminders enable the younger generation to feel like their job or brand is affecting the world. The workforce is now coming to work because it is a space where they can share, collaborate, and build on each other’s ideas. Workplace culture needs are extremely important when considering layouts. If the company’s culture does not dictate open spaces, then they will likely not work (Williams, 2017).
15
Trend: Dynamic zoning can come from different acoustical properties in the space.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Multi-purpose rooms can allow for a more dynamic design in an office space which supports a work hard/play hard mentality (Gensler Staff, 2017). More executives are moving away from having a large dedicated office along the building’s perimeter, instead opting for a more central location that is visible and breaks up the monotony. Smaller offices like these call for dedicated acoustics as to not disperse noise throughout the floor. A creative and efficient workplace design permits higher levels of creativity and innovation. A more progressive zoning scheme should not disregard employees who prefer a traditional work environment (Fairs, 2016).
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS:
17
The office design should make use of a variety of seating options such as task, lounge, benches, stools, and sofas (Steelcase, 2017). Though variety is important, the space layout should be a functional workspace, whether for work or rejuvenation. Acoustics can accent the dynamic design as it allows for different spatial layouts. Material usage will be an important approach as high walls will block window views and natural light. The partners who would prefer to work in the center of the space should also not be hindered if there is too high of a noise level. Therefore, a tiered approach ranging from most sound inducing, to quietest should be implemented throughout the floor plan. These work areas will also include collaboration and quiet spaces for easy access. Noise levels near the stairs will rise, making the departments near the stairs more vulnerable to noise. This may need to become a mixed-use space for all staff members.

DESIGN IMPLICATIONS: Hyatt Global Headquarters is a strong representation of brand design that aligns closely with Hyatt’s marketing and customer service approach. Giving employees a comfortable, but flexible work space that shows that they are thought of and considered is key as it allows employees to feel as if they are a part of something more. This is especially important when considering the incoming workforce (Gensler Staff, n.d.). Hospitality cues such as colors and materials, lighting, and materials in a space were all strategically incorporated into the space..
Typology: Hyatt Global Headquarters
HIGHLIGHTS: Address: 150 N Riverside Plaza, Chicago, IL 60606 Client: Hyatt Global Architect: Gensler Size: 260,000 square feet Building Process: Renovation Envelope Materials: Wood, steel, metal, and concrete
Focus Points: Hyatt Global’s redesign brought together employees from over 700 properties around the world. All employees have a dedicated seat, but are actually encouraged to sit in more collaborative areas and nooks (Cohen, 2018). The designers’ intent was to give employees options so they can decide which space works best for them just as a hotel is supposed to mimic a home away from home for its customers.. The major takeaway is that the office space is modeled after their hotels, and the feeling customers get when staying in a Hyatt residence, pinpointing “arrival, social spaces, drinking and dining, guest rooms (workspaces), activities and services, meetings and events, and departure” (Wilson, 2017).

Typology: Stance Socks Headquarters
HIGHLIGHTS: Address: 193 Avenue La Pata, San Clemente, CA 92673 Client: John Wilson (President) & Aaron Hennigs (CEO & Co-Founder) Envelope Materials: Glass, reclaimed wood, steel, and metal Size: 22,000 square feet Building Process: Renovation
Focus Points: Stance Socks provides interesting branding hints throughout their corporate offices, including their iconic colors which enhances their brand concept while promoting their merchandise. The company also offers an abundance of natural and outdoor aspects which aligns with their ideals about work and play. This brand dedication and nature-filled scenery allows and emphasizes the sense of community, and in turn encourages healthy living and the importance of having a sense of adventure.
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS:
23
Stance’s design is the epitome of what a fun, exciting, and efficient space looks like. This implies that a space’s design can be both fun and functional. Therefore, the office space should include a clear and intentional use of the company’s color schemes and organizational structure through both large and small details such as departmental layouts and material usage. The local vernacular and employee social life should be incorporated into the interior; doing so will help tie in the company to the surrounding businesses and city life.

Once considered as one of the most polluted cities in 1969, Chattanooga has transformed into one with the cleanest within 50 years. Through political and social change, the Chattanooga population revitalized their ecosystem for the future. Similarly, Sockwell is a company that stresses the importance of having a sustainable environment; one that supports a more homegrown and natural process of making. With this in mind, the concept of a vision for the future made possible by “Homegrown Revitalization� was chosen to inspire the upcoming design. The surrounding city’s change from such a negative ecosystem to a sustainable community regarding human action goes with the sustainability aspect that Sockwell pushes in its brand. The concept is meant to show a synthesis of human interactions with the environment that has led to its rejuvenation and total turn around within the . .

View overlooking the city of Chattanooga and the site found to the right.
The concept will be demonstrated through a tiered open floor plan with hints of private and collaborative spaces in between; providing a flexible, yet organic layout that will provide staff with a variety of seating options and acoustical privacy. A calm color palette featuring natural tones and those typically found in the company’s products will be used to provide a sense of the outdoors while also aligning with the brand’s culture. The space will also be acoustically tiered from private to collaborative (quiet to loud) with a few hints of each in both spaces. This will mimic the progressive and sustainable efforts that have led to Chattanooga to become the city it is today. Organic and curvilinear forms and shapes will be encouraged, allowing staff to be more in tune with nature, while the materials used in the space will differ depending on the sector of the office. A main goal of the design is to provide a rejuvenating workspace that inspires creativity and efficiency for the business while minimizing the user’s stress while in and indoor space.
To provide a REJUVENATING workspace that inspires creativity and efficiency for the business while minimizing stress levels that often arises in many indoor spaces. To encourage interdepartmental COLLABORATION, in turn fostering a sense of community. To INSPIRE and create an office that reminds staff why they want to come to work every day. To allow staff to see the importance of HUMAN INTERACTION within the workspace, clients, and city living. Design a space that encourages the company to become a leader in the field by establishing a workspace that is conducive to INNOVATION and collaboration.

THE BASE : RECEPTION The Base is the entrance into the SockWell Office. Located on the second floor (first floor of the office), the Base relates to its namesake as it is a meeting point for all staff, clients, and other building tenants. In order for visitors to see staff and products, they must first ascend through the space and seek adventure just as SockWell’s product line is geared towards those who seek adventure. The entrance allows all to see the basis for the design of the entire office.
THE SUMMIT : CONFERENCE The Summit consists of the conference rooms within the SockWell Office. Located at the entrance of the second floor and cafe of the third, the Summit is meant to be a touch down space where multiple members of staff can meet for a short or long time to get work collaborative work done. Multiple seating was installed in order to provide a variety of room variations.
