The design process was a “clean sheet of paper” exercise in how to move much further, much faster by Building team Building owner/representative natural resources defense Council Architect Croxton Collaborative Architects, PC general Contractor iCs Builders mechanical, electrical engineer WsP flack + Kurtz structural engineer eTnA Consulting leveraging technological advantages (iPad, smart phones, GoToMeeting, etc.). Looking at a typical time and use profile, it became clear that the combination of a much smaller and open work space (60 ft2 vs. 120 ft2) combined with enhanced connectivity to work remotely and, when needed, the ability to take any office calls or redirect office calls to any work point on the floor plate could create a more resourceful and flexible physical infrastructure for NRDC. However, the greatest benefit is proving to be the enhanced collaborative and team-centered work modes. This quantitative enhancement would not result in long-term productivity and teaming culture advantage spring 2012 unless the qualitative attributes identified in the “Top 10 Design Values” work sessions could be included. The most common frustration expressed with all forms of open plan is balancing the sense of visual privacy and sense of “my domain” with connectivity to colleagues, open space and community when desired. Workstations The three-tiered layering of solid, translucent and transparent form throughout the work spaces offers seated visual privacy with a right-angle corner to turn into for fully blocked peripheral vision. Translucent panels allow light to reach all desktops. 42 HigH Performing Buildings
