Week 08 Happy Friday! Take a look at what happened in and out of the office this week at VC.
A dynamic aesthetic and strategic lighting dominate the feel of our 1998 design for the offices of Citizens Energy Corporation. Using large sweeping curves, we carved space for the company’s daily business activities, as well as their significant art collection.
Workplace ideals today circle closely around the notion that productivity and collaboration stem from open environments. With this, office design trends have moved in the direction of lower workstation panels and increased awareness of perimeter spaces in order to convey transparency and accessibility.
