CONNECT OFFICE DESIGN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

CONNECT, a fictional digital marketing agency, has enlisted in a new designer to envision their new office space in a thriving neighborhood of New York City. With over 30 employees, CONNECT has experienced substantial growth, driven in part by a shift to remote work during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, they are preparing to embrace a hybrid work model, allowing most employees to work from home two days a week. CONNECT seeks an office environment that accommodates their growing business and prestigious clientele, fostering both collaboration and individual focus. Their vision extends beyond convention, aiming to infuse innovative design elements into their workspace, mirroring their creative work and that of their clients. The proposed design pushes the boundaries of traditional workplace design, offering creative solutions. Catering primarily to GenZ and Millennial employees, CONNECT envisions a space in tune with contemporary trends and modern work practices. The design will balance diverse collaborative workspaces with individual moments, reflecting the identity, creativity, and dynamic spirit of their workforce.
