While right-sizing the floor plan, Relevance wished to continue fostering a culture of both working and playing hard. Designated spaces for mental breaks—plush seating near a TV, ping-pong games, and an open accessible kitchen—create an inviting atmosphere. The open concept and large windows provide intentional, lighthearted areas to unwind.
With concrete floors, Relevance’s space required special consideration of noise pollution from the open desk environment. Careful spacing of collaborative and personal work areas were designed to control noise levels. Creative and minimal storage solutions control clutter.
Despite budgetary and timeline restrictions, we created an open collaborative space in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Exposed industrial elements, reclaimed wood, and crisp lines evoke a contemporary feel on par with Relevance’s creative and sophisticated brand.
Open and shared spaces are popular in office environments creating challenges in audible privacy and the ability to stay on task. Each workspace is uniquely designed to balance perceived privacy and accessible collaboration.
Collaborative areas allow for connection and culture-building in a modern office setting. These spaces should be within a 75-foot diameter of individual workstations for maximum access.
Group learning spaces are vital for company meetings, continuing education, and research. Conference rooms, media rooms, and similar spaces unite team members when it’s time to come together.
Social zones feel energetic and fun, encourage team bonding, and provide a reprieve from the daily grind. They are centrally located, readily accessible, and designed not to distract people in adjacent work areas.
Support spaces should be strategically located. Supply areas, break rooms, and restrooms need to be easily accessible to maximize productivity and minimize interruptions and clutter.
Parallel listened to our vision and project goals and executed a design that matched our culture. They were a great partner throughout the process.
