VC completed a full scope, interior build-out for the North American headquarters of Amadeus, the largest IT support company for the travel industry. The main goal for the design was to create a space that would accommodate each specific function of Amadeus’ staff, all within one open plan space. The outcome was an innovative and avant-garde workplace design concept we describe as “Working Beehives”. Essentially, the workspace is open, the desks are small and mobile, and have the ability to link together. This means they can change in both size and location based on what an employee finds suitable. What remains static are the “beehives,” or semi-enclosed meeting areas, placed throughout the space. These are outfitted with white boards, display technology, and small conference tables. Aside from these work areas, the design team also introduced dynamic communal areas including a 4,000 SF multi-function great room, an employee lounge, a coffee center, and game room.Read more
