In crafting AEW Capital Management’s new office space in Century City, we revolutionized the typical office paradigm, prioritizing human-centric comfort and functionality over aesthetics.
Our approach invited an atmosphere akin to a community hub, departing from traditional workspaces. Natural light floods spacious common areas, encouraging openness, tranquility, and employee well-being. Ergonomic furniture and flexible work zones were meticulously chosen for movement, collaboration, and comfort, enabling efficient work. Breakout spaces, relaxation corners, and versatile meeting areas challenged ingrained office design norms, promoting interaction, creativity, and a balanced work environment.
Our design encourages employees to tailor their space, fostering ownership and empowerment. Ultimately reimagining the office space as a dynamic, comfortable domain that prioritizes productivity and well-being. The goal was to challenge the conventional definition of an office.
The pantry has evolved into a versatile hub for collaboration, communication, and community within modern companies. Properly designed this space can encourage employees to gather, interact, and build relationships, creating a dynamic zone where colleagues exchange ideas and collaborate in a relaxed setting, enriching the workplace experience.
For AEW we created a space that cultivates a sense of community, transcending hierarchical boundaries to become a central area that draws individuals together. It serves as an inclusive space, with connections that go beyond departmental silos. The casual setting encourages organic conversations, sparking creativity and innovation.
The space offers a haven to recharge and unwind. It goes beyond providing refreshments, acting as a mental breather that reduces stress and enhances productivity. Ultimately, this hub serves as a social catalyst, a collaborative space, and a sanctuary for rejuvenation, shaping a vibrant workplace culture.
