Verizon is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate, by responding to their needs, creating a space that facilitates productive and purposeful work while leaving room for creativity, customization, and personalization. The most crucial requirement was the space’s adoption of a post-pandemic setup, where employees can collaborate while maintaining social distancing. The layout of the office space consists of two storeys, which are interconnected by a central staircase, it provides individual workplaces, as well as cooperation spaces, meeting rooms, quiet rooms and culinary facilities with common areas.

A feature characteristic of the interior is the bold, contrasting pops of color that demarcate distinct areas, reinforcing company identity while also providing visual interest and relief to the otherwise neutral tones of the light grey and wood interiors.
