RA-DA has designed the new offices of cloud infrastructure and hosting company DigitalOcean located in New York City.
DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying web infrastructure for software developers. They are now the world’s second largest web hosting provider, second only to Amazon.
Nailing the culture of this relatively new company was key in our early explorations for the design. This was their first move into a formal office and they had not been through this exercise before. They had a clear sense of identity though so our task was to hone in on that and figure out how to articulate that in the architecture.
