NEXT OFFICE

Commercial

LOCATION: New York, NY

DATE: Autumn 2021

Since the project is located in downtown New York, the concept was inspired by the local region’s towering high-rise buildings, resulting in the contrast between concrete forests in cities and genuine nature, which is expressed in the materials, colors, and biophilia design in this project.

The project is placed on the seventh and eighth floors, which are the top two levels of the structure, enabling a panoramic view of the city on the north and east sides. Private and open office areas are positioned on those two sides for maximum sunlight and interaction with nature, as this is where employees spend the majority of their time. The organization evolved spontaneously with a diagonal dividing each floor into office areas and working, gathering, or leisure spaces. Meeting rooms are evenly spread in the space to represent the collaborative and team-based company culture.
