Permira Offices – Menlo Park

AP+I Design was engaged by private equity firm, Permira, to design their new offices located in Menlo Park, California.

Permira, an international private equity firm, completed a strategic lease on Sand Hill and proceeded to plan a new and collaborative workplace for both their clients and their employees. The office plan needed to accommodate the necessary privacy for sensitive communication while still providing an open and collaborative environment that would showcase the contemporary European business roots of the company. Permira envisioned a timeless and sophisticated atmosphere with varying ceiling heights, natural light, large expanses of glass, all within a neutral palette of natural finishes.

The designers created a synergetic suite comprised primarily of private offices and conferencing spaces. Specifically, the workplace had to be divided between two floors providing functionally different environments for each area.
