Verizon, the second largest American Telecommunications company, challenged us at the very onset of the pandemic, a time when nobody knew what would lie ahead, to build a resilient workplace that would thrive in even the volatile unpredictable times. 

In the absence of any insights, we carved out a design process by exploring and understanding the shift in business and its impact on its people. The key insights that emerged led to a design that enabled the building a flourishing community. 

The design strategy extends a diverse office environment that offers comfort and functionality to all the employees with a whole new thinking philosophy around collaboration. The intent of building a tight-knit community is reflected in the planning through the principles of flexibility and agility, in the choice of materials, color palette and the overlay of technology to create a versatile workplace. 

Thus emerged a design that can continue to evolve with the business and its people.
