Key Design Highlights A 1920s warehouse in downtown Detroit, featuring a five-story central atrium, was stripped down to its bones. Open work areas are divided with pods and partitions made from salvaged wood. Multi-touch screens in the lobby and a 42-foot-tall LED screen in the atrium create opportunities for branding. Breakout areas and pitch rooms-including two "treehouse" spaces suspended in the atrium-provide places for focused work. Tectum wall and ceiling panels and an integrated white-noise system provide acoustical buffers against the office's hard surfaces. Wooden pallets and salvaged doors were used to create slatted pods and room dividers (top and right) in the open office area. The office also includes more than 100 collaboration and conference areas (above). A four-story LED screen in the atrium (opposite) displays custom content and has tiered seating beneath. 60 contractdesign.com novEmbEr 2014http://www.contractdesign.com
