Olson Kundig designed the headquarters of a digital media company, located in New York City, New York.
Located in a historic 120-year-old Union Square building, Olson Kundig’s design for this media company headquarters offers salon-style breakout spaces for employees to gather and collaborate as well as individual work spaces, offering opportunities for both interaction and privacy that were unattainable in their previous open-plan office.
At 43,000 square feet, the two-story office offers plenty of open, configurable areas that surround a grand central stair. The staircase, which also serves as a theatrical gathering space, provides a connection between the two floors and offers flexible areas for employees to meet in groups or work independently. This central spine becomes the focal point of the office, with a plant- and light- filled conservatory on one side and more intimate, introspective areas on the other.
