Office2.0

Subtle curves and a high grade of transparency on a warm, natural base characterize the interior design for the international law firm CMS. Fokkema & Partners Architecten merged the outspoken and transparent building architecture by MVSA, with an elegant and warm interior for the law firm. The office is set on the top 6 floors of a new tower in Amsterdam, with a generous lobby at the base. However transparent, it offers a profound sense of privacy and comfort for clients and employees thanks to the organization of the program. Following the building’s characteristics, all interior walls have rounded corners. This way the glazed walls of the workspaces make a fluid line through the building. Archives and storage are designed as besp... More

Fokkema & Partners made a respectful design to radically transform the office of the real estate company Newomij in Naarden. The 1970’s building obtained a surprising feel of space and light thanks to a new interior design. An optimized layout for the site’s garden and parking area in combination with new cladding of the facades give the building a modern look. Geothermal storage, new climate ceilings and LED-lighting all contribute to a sustainable and energy efficient building. The former introvert cellular office floors haven been transformed into an open office space with warm, naturally coloured finishes. The limited ceiling height challenged the design team to fit in new installations and still achieve a spacious interior. Th... More

Upon realizing rapid growth, Equator retained Eastlake to design a larger office in the same building less than two years after our initial design. As a global packaging design and branding firm, it was important for Equator to identify key locations to display in-progress work, as well as areas to implement wall tattoos. Incorporating whimsical sea creature line art into the space, the workplace has a creative edge fit for a design firm. Additionally, the murals help communicate Equator's design process to both clients and recruits. More

Pandora has been instrumental in changing the way we all listen to music, so why not use their workplace to pay homage to the 1980’s - which changed the face of music forever? The new office celebrates the decade's most iconic musicians, enshrining them in key meeting areas. On an abstract level, finishes and lighting in the office play a key role in communicating Pandora’s creative culture, with acid-washed carpet on the floors and 8-bit video game references on the walls as well as color changing accent lighting in the cafe. However, we really think it's the light-up dance floor straight out of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” music video that will make you want to rekindle your youth and bust a move when you visit the office.

As part of the Willis Tower redevelopment plans now underway, Eastlake Studio was tasked with creating a new vibrant workplace setting to help prospective tenants see the true potential of the iconic skyscraper. Our design enables a tour that wows prospects as they exit the elevator, then promotes sweeping vistas and abundant natural light from this suite on the 57th floor. A large cafe promotes a hospitality atmosphere, while warm and inviting elements including reclaimed walnut, leather rugs, and plush furniture make anyone feel like this space was designed for the modern workforce.

The year 2017 was one of change for Dáme jídlo. In autumn, the company, which is part of the global Delivery Hero group, changed its visual identity and offices, and we were called upon to help with the latter. In view of the youthful nature of the company, we designed the interior to be ready for employees who shun a permanent desk and prefer to find a different place to work at every opportunity.The variable workplace trend is one we have also pursued in other companies. In addition to an assigned workspace, each employee can also take advantage of informal meeting points, focus zones, telephone booths and an open space (the so-called work lounge). The employees at Dáme jídlo trust each other, and so can work from anywhere.A place to conc... More

Strata is a software company focused on the idea that decisions drive healthcare, and that better information leads to better decisions. Expanding their existing space to the floor above mandated a physical connection. A bold staircase ties the two floors together and became the central artery of the workplace. It connects formal and informal gathering spaces, or HUBS, that encourage staff collaboration and interaction. We made sure branding—a core part of their company culture—was integrated into the design by creating branded elements that enhance the language of existing chalkboard infographics. Additionally, energetic pops of color link the public spaces. More

By the entrance, there is the waiting area which leads to a space that has been enriched by special edition furniture designed specifically for two employees.
