Large meeting rooms
(opposite) and informal
collaboration spaces (bottom,
left) can be found throughout
the workplace. Merchandise
storage is seamlessy
integrated into the workplace
(left) and conference rooms
can be transformed for "style
outs," with integrated display
systems to showcase fashion
merchandise (below).
Key Design Highlights
The gallery-like office boasts
white walls and expansive
windows that showcase views
of the harbor and city.
More than 1,000 pieces of art
from HBC's extensive holdings,
along with store photos,
advertising imagery, and logos
from the company's archives,
are on the display.
An office replica, designed
by Italian architect Filippo
Brassesco, is complete with
furniture and the space's many
pieces of art, all reproduced
to scale.
The workplace features
high-density storage options
for garments, and conference
rooms also serve as showrooms
where the newest collections
can be displayed.
There is a homogeneous look throughout the offices, but
that doesn't mean the areas are lacking in personality. Store photos,
advertising imagery, and logos were culled from the HBC archives.
They were then reproduced and placed in key areas to reinforce
the distinct identity of each brand. As Roger Duffy, the design partner
on the project notes, "There was room for branding in the lobby
and the collaborative areas."
After pulling the visual elements together, the team focused
on HBC's work functions, and the challenge of storage. While most
office spaces need room for filing cabinets and standard shelving
units, for the HBC group, high-density storage and display options
for garments were essential. Conference rooms double as showrooms
where the newest collections can be seen, while the clothes are
displayed on stainless steel mesh grids that are easy to hang and
tuck away when not in use.
There are also plenty of meeting areas and nooks indoors
that foster a sense of camaraderie, as well as shops and restaurants
just steps away. "Brookfield Place is like a small village," Duffy notes.
For Baker, however, it is the art that's key to bringing everyone
together. "The artworks are exhibited in specially designed areas,
and in dedicated working spaces throughout the offices. They are
intended to stimulate conversations and inspire associates and
visitors to think differently." c
