When you’re trying to attract companies to lease office space, standing out—both in style and function—makes all the difference.
How do you create a spec suite where people can envision themselves working (and excited about it!)? We answered this question with our design for Beacon Hill Partners at 303 East Wacker. To start, we created a mix of open work areas, added plenty of places for privacy, and mixed in a variety of collaborative zones. Then, we pulled it all together with a modern, tech-inspired aesthetic. The result is an attractive, supportive workplace that allows people to work flexibly.
Variety Show
Unleashed by technology, people today want the flexibility to work anywhere in the office, and especially in spaces fine tuned to the task at hand. To accommodate this need, we designed a floorplan with more options than the typical workstations and conference rooms. People can choose from a variety of spaces designed to enhance focus, encourage collaboration, or support long periods of work. And because the floorplan is so open, everyone can enjoy city views.
Furnished for Success
To create a dynamic work experience, you need more than diverse spaces. A variety of furniture is important, too. Each piece we selected serves a specific purpose, whether that’s encouraging conversations, offering comfort for heads-down work, or adding an energetic, social vibe. And even though the types of furniture are varied in function, we created a consistent aesthetic by choosing furniture that feels tailored and sophisticated.
Inspire by Design
What’s another way to attract people to an office? Create a modern yet inviting aesthetic with design elements that feel special. At 303 East Wacker, these include an entry way with antique mirror glass walls complemented by a watercolor-inspired wallcovering. Another design highlight in this sophisticated space is linear lighting, which adds dimension.
