The project comprised the complete interior renovation of a two-story, 10,518 square foot building in a corporate campus setting.\u00a0 The client desired to create an unconventional space to inspire engineers, researchers and product developers of highly sophisticated medical devices to reach farther in conceiving breakthrough advancements in diagnostic technology.\u00a0 Work settings for concentration, collaboration and hands-on laboratory tasks were required.\u00a0 The architect used the space as a literal representation of the non-linear team processes necessary for innovation, using flowing shapes and irregular clusters of personal works areas. These were combined with varied places to meet and work, such as a break room with high visibility to corridor traffic and an unconventional soft-seating meeting room directly adjacent to a conventional lab space.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
