New Work Environments

South San Francisco, California

Client: Confidential

Size: 5,000 - 40,000 square feet

Completion Date: Ongoing

The New Work Environments program allows employees to work in diverse neighborhoods equipped with personal storage, flexible meeting spaces of varying sizes, and many casual seating options. Just as the nature of teamwork has evolved to embrace collaboration, the teaming zones are adaptable and unconstrained by conventional physical desks, computers, or files.

New Work Environments projects are about more than just the physical space. They are defined by the commitment of the client to consider the social, technological, and physical space aspects, all driving towards a “Work Better” concept. These environments are a balanced mix of different space types (open, enclosed, individual, and collaborative) to support project teams. The projects are phased renovations in occupied office space and include open office with 100% unassigned seating.

New Workplace Strategy in Action

Our team has worked actively to deploy and test this new workplace strategy by allowing each previous project to influence the next. Completed projects provide not only great places to work, but rolling inputs translate into even better designs for subsequent New Work Environments projects.
