After inheriting their former space that constrained their work styles and corporate identity, Community Preservation Corporation was eager to breathe new life into their new Midtown location. Armed with a wealth of data gathered through extensive workplace strategy sessions and integrated visioning workshops, our team embarked on a mission to craft a workspace that authentically reflects CPC's core values and vision. This innovative workplace now truly embodies the spirit of CPC, serving as a testament to their commitment to both people and the communities they serve.
Prioritizing an open layout.
Flexibility played a pivotal role for CPC, prompting the team to craft a more collaborative workspace that transitioned from 60% private office space to a 70% open floor plan. The design incorporated a variety of small breakout areas and conference rooms equipped with user-friendly plug & play technology, encouraging mobility and collaboration, while other areas offered individuals an opportunity for focused work.
A centralized café connects each side of the workplace, providing a space for teams to gather. Settled within the cafe is the main boardroom, which is designed to cater to multi-functional activities. With the capacity to fully open to create one large collaborative space, the main boardroom supports flexibility.
A community-centric design.
Traveling from the heart of the space, industrial design elements draw inspiration from the materials commonly encountered during the revitalization of local communities, serving as a tribute to the areas touched by CPC. Each conference room was given a name representing a neighborhood or town that CPC has supported throughout its history, embodying the deeply-rooted culture that drives the organization's values and mission.
