Workplace design with the user in mind
Workplaces are ecosystems, where teams with diverse skillsets and needs come together to support one another. By designing for the user experience, your workplace ecosystem will thrive.
Offices aren’t what they used to be.
Today’s workplace must deliver both privacy and control while ensuring safety and a sense that both physical and emotional wellness are prioritized. This is why our process begins and ends with research, from occupancy and user experience studies to intensive market research. Rooted in this knowledge, our workplace design team invents imaginative workspaces for clients of all sizes. Â
The workplace can influence your team’s health and happiness
Beyond site selection, budget, and basic function, the experience of the user inside the built environment is a critical consideration. By improving our indoor environments through thoughtful and accessible interior design, careful materials selections, and the integration of biophilic elements, we can design for wellness.
Movement, modes, and moments
A thriving workplace ecosystem prioritizes health, wellness, and safety while considering the unique needs of the teams who occupy them. Within the larger ecosystem are ecotones – the zones between zones where natural collisions occur.
The framework our team employs centers on movement, modes, and moments. Our designers delve into the questions of how and when people congregate, and how and when they separate. How does the physical flow of people through a space impact each area of the workplace and the occupants? What do they need specific spaces for? And what will they find delightful?
By marrying user research with collaborative and sustainable design, we make your workplace work for you.
“The buildings exceed all expectations. The feedback from [the teams] was glowing, citing how amazingly inclusive the whole [design] process was, how individuals felt heard (and that their voice actually made a difference) and how proud they now are of their workplace.”

Our Process
Research
We dig deep into health and safety advancements, industry trends, your user base, your brand, and all the things that make your project unique.
Iterate
Collaboration peaks when we jointly design, share, listen, and revise until spatial planning and materials (and everything else) look just right.
Implement
We live for that sense of relief, accomplishment, and pride — when it all comes together, you step inside, and your vision becomes reality!
Evaluate
The work doesn’t end when the doors open for business; we evaluate your space and user experience as they evolve with time and use.
