Chapter was engaged to deliver a full commercial office renovation for a technology company opening its New York headquarters. As the company established a permanent presence in the city, the goal was to create a headquarters environment that reflects their brand, supports team growth, and enables high levels of collaboration and focused work. The space was designed as a long-term operational hub, combining open work areas, extensive meeting infrastructure, and thoughtfully integrated social spaces.

Design overview
The office was organized to support the demands of a headquarters environment, with a strong emphasis on clarity and function:
Open Operations Floor
A large open workspace designed to support daily team operations, with consistent lighting, integrated power and data, and efficient circulation.
Meeting & Focus Infrastructure
A comprehensive network of conference rooms, focus rooms, and private meeting spaces distributed throughout the office to support collaboration at all levels.
Social & Support Spaces
A full kitchen, dining area, and informal seating zones that provide balance to the work environment and support team culture.
This structure allows the office to operate efficiently while remaining flexible and welcoming.
Project goals
Design a headquarters-scale office with a high density of meeting and focus rooms.
Create clear structure between open work areas, meetings, and support spaces.
Integrate the company's brand identity and color palette directly into the architecture.
Coordinate HVAC, sprinkler, lighting, and electrical systems around a highly segmented layout.
Maintain openness, daylight, and visual connection throughout the floor.
“This wasn't just an office fit-out-it was building a home base. Every decision had to support how the team works today and where they're headed.”
