As a longstanding national client of Whitney, this Confidential Insurance Firm entrusted our team with designing their most prominent location to date in New York City.
Reflecting the city’s vibrant character, the space was envisioned to serve as both a hub for employees and a welcoming destination for clients. As the home office of the CEO, the New York location demanded a high level of finishes and meticulous attention to detail. As a nod to the area’s historic architecture, warm, rich tones were complemented by metal accents and art deco influences to define a sophisticated yet contemporary palette.
Our scope extended beyond aesthetics to include a workplace strategy that aligned with our client's hybrid work culture.
This transition optimized functionality and flexibility as they moved towards a free address dominated workplace rather than a traditional one. Additionally, as a strategic cost savings initiative Whitney was able to refresh and reuse our client’s existing workstations instead of purchasing all new furniture.
Since the relocation, our client has noted a significant increase in staff presence at the office, highlighting the success of the redesigned space in fostering productivity and in-person connections.
