NBBJ New York Office
As a global architecture and design firm, NBBJ offices serve as creative hubs for the firm’s design talent and “living labs” to test new office configurations, amenities and technologies. So when it came time to create a new office location in New York, NBBJ developed a design strategy that would easily accommodate project and employee needs as they change over time.
Housed in a former fashion office in the historic Flatiron District, 111 5th Avenue reuses materials and infrastructure, preserving the industrial nature of the space while reducing costs and prioritizing sustainability. The office supports NBBJ’s flexible work policy by providing a variety of spaces and seating, including bench desking located adjacent to team collaboration space in the form of couches or large tables, flexible moving walls, monitors and pin-up surfaces allow design teams to engage in collaborative work. Abundant natural light, operable windows, wellness rooms and social and informal meeting spaces lend a residential feel and a more human experience to ease the return-to-office.
Features
A fully immersive 360-degree Igloo VR space helps to communicate design concepts and offers the ability to stage virtual flythroughs and walk-throughs with clients.
