INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE STUDIO
Laird + Partners
Renovation of an industrial space from the 1920’s into a large office for this forward-thinking ad agency.
The firm’s focus on graphic design informed the layout of the sprawling space whose clean lines are animated with arresting art and bold accent colors. Upon entering the main space, the visitor is confronted with a large black volume clad in Bakelite; a free-standing, sculptural object that contains a large conference room, offices, and a pin-up room for client presentations.
The dimensions of the space were fully exploited in the design—the library bookcases span the full height of the 14-foot ceilings, while low custom furnishings suit the office’s long proportions.
