BRIEF

Client concerns to be addressed in the redesign:

  • A lounge must be added

  • Fourteen desks in the open office space seem too close to the break room where noise and high foot-traffic distractions are prevalent

  • Ratio of private offices to meeting/conference rooms seems off

  • Recommend furniture selections

SOLUTION

The redesign of Maiden Lane resolves client concerns by offering a balanced office environment with thoughtfully-zoned social and public spaces in open areas near the reception entrance. Focused and private work spaces are located further from the entrance which receives is less foot traffic and therefore reduces noise.

Eleven individual desks are located in the center open space away from the lounge and break room, with three additional workspaces in the back hallway, further protected from noise and distraction. The amount of private office spaces and meeting rooms has increased while maintaining two large conference rooms. The redesign also features a multipurpose collaboration room to provide flex space and to facilitate team projects.

The newly-added lounge is located in the open office space, to the right of the reception entrance, for an inviting feel. Featuring soft-seating and plenty of table surfaces, this space can be used for work or conversation. The spread of noise is mitigated through sound-absorbing wood panels which span the back wall. The color and material scheme strike the perfect balance between bright and muted, as well as comfortablity and formality.
