Studio8 had outgrown its 6,000-sf office of 20 years and was struggling with growing pains. The team took notes of the 19th century house its office was housed in and brought it to a new 10,000-sf office space.

Bespoke details including chair rail molding, coffered acoustic ceilings, decorative pendants and cove lighting, warm wood floors, fluted wood, and steel storefronts were implemented into the new design to instill a hospitable and historic atmosphere. Where Studio8’s previous office lacked significant meeting areas, storage, and flexible open office space, the new office exceeds their demands and includes conference and hoteling rooms, a virtual reality lounge, flexible open office, and a large break area with a 20-foot table that can be transformed into an active community gathering space.

A bold and light-filled break room feeds into a ‘front porch’, a nod to the historical home where the company gathered to celebrate corporate events and milestones or connect with their clients and colleagues.
