MetLife
The last two years have brought significant changes in how MetLife’s workforce thinks, behaves, and views the world around them. New ways of working are challenging workplace real estate, especially the types and amounts of spaces needed to meet vastly changed work modes and behaviors.
We are two entrepreneurial firms at heart, with a likeminded focus on challenging the status quo to propel our industries forward.
Unispace and MetLife have partnered over the last year and a half to analyze these shifts and define opportunities for your spaces to respond to the seemingly never-ending change. MetLife has identified the next phase for reshaping their real estate portfolio, using their 4-building site in Tampa as a pilot for future projects. Our previous partnerships serve as referencepoints in this tidal wave of change and as a foundation for the next level of strategy engagement, to inform Tampa pilot project.

A refresh to uphold brand and culture
Description Archetype needed a refresh to truly uphold their brand and culture. We worked extensively with stakeholders to understand company goals and staff needs. One of the early decisions was moving to an entirely agile model, where staff sit wherever they feel most productive. This move allowed them to use a smaller footprint, reducing the office size by 1,500 sqft, while substantially increasing collaboration and social areas.
While almost all spaces are bookable, there is also a specific quiet zone for focus work. We created this space from one that traditionally would be used for IT or storage, as it has intrusive MEP ducting. Instead of hiding that equipment, we used it as a separation barrier and used the system operation, in conjunction with furniture, as white noise. Design details were important, and the space pays homage to the raw, industrial
feel of its Park Ave location, yet is warm and welcoming. We exposed the columns and floors right down to the original terracotta, and to add sophistication, partially enclosed them with a unique wire mesh. Lights provide differentiation, like the signature hanging melted globes which serve as a transition point between the café and workplace. A graffiti artist created a mural weaving vibrant colors with Archetype’s branding and New York icons like Lady Liberty.

A workspace that strategically fosters collaboration
Description Our client, a global investment management company, has a time-honored tradition of serving a wide range of institutional clients around the world. As their business model was changing they wanted a workplace that reflected their collegial and collaborative culture. They partnered with Unispace to give them a fresh perspective and re-stack 18 floors of their global headquarters. Instead of having departments located on one floor,
our team worked with the client to co-locate multiple groups that worked together and create a workspace that cultivates crossdepartmental collaboration. All groups were evaluated individually so that their workspace aligns with how they work. For example, the 16th floor is completely open office while other floors feature a hybrid floor plan with open workspace and enclosed offices. The project features a full-service cafeteria and coffee shop that are easily accessible to the new state-of-the-art 400-person tiered auditorium.
Our team worked together to create a
modern, sophisticated atmosphere that creates sp aces where various groups can connect and support this financial institution as they evolve.

A new HQ that accommodates future growth
Description Justworks partnered with Unispace to enable them to meet their workplace goals. Using a “neighborhood” layout for flexibility, our design team made sure each discipline had access to the different workspace types needed for maximum productivity. Throughout the space we created customized areas, quiet cars, phone booths, a library for focus work, and horseshoe shaped collaboration zones accented with whiteboards and suitable furniture types. Both the café and reception area serve as
spaces for fostering social gathering and community building. Through early visioning sessions and collaborative conversations with key stakeholders, we were able to bring their vision to life, capturing the look and feel of their humble beginnings in Chelsea, while highlighting their brand and culture throughout the space. Our integrated process and integrated delivery approach allowed us to navigate
challenges throughout each phase in the strategy, design and build process. Through our 3D modeling software, uniBIM, the Justworks team had full visibility into the design changes in real-time as our internal teams de-densified the project workspace to adhere to COVID safe distancing protocols. Justworks has now more than doubled in size since moving to their new headquarters location and Unispace completed the Spark Brilliance. project two weeks early.

A focus on collaboration and wellness defines this home away from home
Description With an envious view of London’s Tower Bridge, this new HQ seamlessly blends hospitality into the workplace. The fourth floor is the main working space and was designed with flexibility in mind. Staff can choose an environment that suits their needs and work styles with various booths, high stools, low sofas, boardrooms, benches, and focus pods. The result is a markedly strengthened social culture and workflow.
Connectivity is paramount and each meeting space, in addition to the “Hive” events space, is equipped with high quality technology to effortlessly connect with clients and various other offices around the world. The cafe is the life of the studio, where staff are encouraged to leave their desks to grab a bite to eat and socialize. Biophilia aids in creating a space that is both homely and welcoming.
The top floor is our client-first space. It is designed for informal meetings, formal presentations and entertaining, blurring the line between a professional work environment and hospitality. It includes a work lounge for collaboration exercises and a bar area used for both internal and clientcentric social events. Overall, this bold, energetic space seamlessly bring work culture and processes into sharp focus.

An 18th century historical building houses a contemporary work environment for employees
Description Housed within an eighteenth-century building adorned with frescoed halls. Coccinelle occupies a space divided into three areas. The first contains a new showroom and overlooks the high street, the second is occupied by commercial, sales and administrative teams, while the third area has separate access to the showroom and holds the style and creative teams. It was important that the new design respect the building’s history. To reflect the
brand, we added bespoke pieces such as contemporary lighting, tables, and chairs in brass, steel, and pink to create a harmonious contrast with the rich stucco and floors. The large halls became showrooms for Coccinelle’s collections with light suspended frames to highlight products on display without affecting the ornate decoration on the walls and ceilings. Each office space has high performance sound-absorbing partition panels between
desks to cushion the acoustic reverberation of these rooms, which in some cases have heights over 13 feet. We created a break area not only for employees, but for guests and small catering events too. A pink kitchen with terrazzo floor facing a long, padded, lounge-style bench combined with white tables and modern pink chairs. As aw feature wall, we chose contemporary wallpaper in light shades of pink, grey and blue to contrast the antique Spark Brilliance. timber floor.

A new home for an ever-growing financial client
Description After acquiring a new and functional space in the iconic industrial area of Turin, this multinational financial group left their old workplace in the historic city center to accommodate their ever-growing staff. The new space is positioned on one single floor-plate with impressive floor-toceiling windows along the main facades. The natural light has been emphasized to brighten the area and promote openness throughout the space and natural color
palette is used to emphasize materials and textures throughout. The team at Unispace delivered meeting rooms of different sizes for multiple purposes, informal areas, boarding room and booths located in different areas of the space. To reflect the informal and welcoming kitchen area, various types of furniture were integrated, creating a meeting point for staff to efficiently utilize the space.
Borderless workstations were installed to avoid the traditional use of desk drawers. This arrangement allows staff to collaborate across teams by occupying a desk via the company’s centralized booking system. Desks are positioned throughout the office with sound-absorbing panels. Each section is separated by a collection of phone booths, designed with a wooden exterior and solid black framing for a modern look.

A hybrid work model for a multi-dimensional workplace experience
Description Kroll wanted their new Chicago workplace to highlight their recent acquisition and newly transformed brand in a fresh and inviting setting. To reinvent their workplace, Kroll incorporated various amenities and multi-use spaces, emphasizing the firm’s refreshed brand to encourage camaraderie in the office and help attract new talent. A hybrid workplace strategy was incorporated to reduce their total footprint.
Drawing inspiration from the office building in Fulton Market, the space’s themes are aspirational, refined casual, and sustainable. Using a neighborhood scheme, the layout blends functionality with flexibility using integrated technology. We embraced elements of the building to emphasize the views and high ceiling heights, and positioned primary areas like the boardroom, the café, and collaborative touchdowns on the perimeter to maximize access to natural light.
Daylighting, a living green wall, and greenery throughout give the office a natural ambiance. Despite Covid-related challenges, we were able to facilitate seamless collaboration with stakeholders by using a proprietary software to facilitate project phasing. Kroll is excited to bring their staff into their new office and showcase their refreshed vision for the future.
