The second phase consisted of renovation of the break out rooms, coffee station areas, interior landscape areas, toilets and the main restaurant on 4 floors of the South and North wings.
Building management and employees of each department were interviewed early on to help develop unique designs for each department’s needs. A common language of materials has been developed and used throughout the project while variations in accents and loose furniture depict each department’s unique needs.
All communal spaces break out areas and coffee stations, formerly treated as back of house spaces, have been integrated in to the open workspaces with the help of same materials used throughout.
