Project Overview

A workspace designed around how people actually work

After some conversations, we introduced them to movable glass walls, which allowed them to open the space and expand their conference area. In addition, soft seating around the perimeter of the room was installed for casual seating options.

This created a board room space that could hold three times the number of people from their former space and allowed the entire office to brighten by opening a entire bank of windows to the interior of the office. They replicated the movable walls across the hallway to create a guest area for remote employees who visited and provided them with a wonderful private work space with plenty of light and all the necessary tools to work.

In the new area downstairs they were able to divide the accounting department from the customer service team by dividing a large open area with the movable walls, providing a noise barrier and divisional privacy without blocking a marvelous view and keeping the office very bright and open.

The Work

Challenge

The existing floor plan had grown organically over years — private offices around the perimeter blocked natural light from reaching the open area, and ad-hoc meeting spots had formed wherever space allowed.

The team needed to scale from 22 to 38 people without moving to a larger facility.

  • No defined zones — focus, collaboration, and client meetings overlapped
  • Noise bleed from open workstations into adjacent offices
  • Existing furniture couldn't support the new headcount
  • Client-facing reception area felt disconnected from the brand

Solution

We reconfigured the floor plan entirely — moving private offices to interior positions and installing floor-to-ceiling movable glass partitions to create acoustic separation without visual isolation.

A new circulation spine connects all zones while giving each its own identity.

  • Modular glass wall system for acoustic privacy with visual openness
  • Three defined zones: focus work, collaborative benching, client suite
  • 38 height-adjustable workstations with integrated cable management
  • Redesigned reception with brand-aligned finishes and signage
