Upon entering, the user can see across the entire building to the exterior patio at the rear. The shifting programmatic volumes along the corridor provide a distinct series of spaces where the employees can pause to engage each other.

The huddle rooms have three sides of obscured glass to allow the activity within to activate the office, while still providing privacy to the adjacent workstations.

Focus rooms provide the highest degree of privacy in a relatively open office, while still being easily accessible from the workstations.

This view down the corridor between two meeting rooms provides a view to the exterior and simultaneously highlights the beneficial effects of transparency used throughout the project.

The main approach taken towards the design was to create the interior office space as an urban landscape.

The series of diagrams show the space planning of the design which began with an idea of a central avenue with meandering boulevards that connected the entrances and exit.

Subsequently, the programmatic elements such as private offices, and conference rooms were strategically dispersed along the boulevards to make them easily accessible while also breaking up the open space. The remaining spaces formed areas for workstations and open collaboration.

As the plan opened up, it provided the opportunity to bring transparency and sunlight into the office through introducing large glass curtain walls in the exterior façade.

The private offices are all clad in birch plywood, to introduce a warm, organic feeling to the project. The flexible hoteling stations are located in a glass enclosure across the hall.
