This design for a collaborative office landscape promotes intricacy and specificity within a new 20,000 s.f. regional center envisioned for the work of the Children's Institute.

Teamwork, interaction and collaboration are all goals essential to the success of this new location. It was clear to us that now-clichéd concepts of fully open office environments are a generic and blunt instrument inadequate to the complexity of organizations such as this. 

A landscape of clustered team work spaces, smaller areas for focused meetings, seating and gathering spaces located for chance encounters, and decompression zones for quiet meditation emerged from our analysis of mobility patterns, team structures and the differing needs of distinct clientele. 

As a new hub for this non-profit organization the work environment inspires the innovative thinking and creative solutions needed for their mission: genuine, effective intervention in some of society's most intransigent problems.
