As this Digital Customer Experience Agency changed it workplace strategy from a central headquarters model to distributed workplaces, AS·IS designed a gathering place for their community and client events in a relaxed hospitality environment. 

Conceived as a landscape of intensities, saturated areas of texture, color, and light define event and community spaceinterventions in the open office.

Clients and visiting teams are welcome to make themselves at home and explore the space, which is infused throughout with subtle experiential references to the company’s brand, culture, and innovative content.  

The elongated entry is distinguished by bright pulses of light in the striated ceiling, whose defining lines shift from ceiling, to wall, to reception desk.  

Leading deeper into the space, the ceiling orientation shifts and is layered with a soft blue hue that leads into the reception lounge.  Here the various textures of unique fabrics and carpet tile compositions evoke the agency’s eclectic global culture. 

Vertical wood louvers mediate zones, create backdrops, and allow natural light to pass, while strengthening a sense of interconnectivity in the open office.

In the main community space, saturated use of color and gradients of lightarecomplimented by a dynamic arrangement of patterns and textures in the ceiling, flooring, and furniture details. A large media wall provides a background for the lounge, a destination for informal conversations enabled with digital presentation content.  The tiered arrangement of high tables and amphitheater allows the café and lounge area to transform into a presentation area that hosts larger gatherings.

This intermingling of customer and team spaces reflect the client’s unique collaborative approach with their customers.
