Chicago, Illinois Client: Charles River Associates
Project Description
Transformed the consulting firm’s existing 35,620-sf office into a welcoming, daylight-filled, productive environment with a balance of private workspaces and collaborative gathering areas.
Adapted CRA’s standardized real estate metrics developed by Elkus Manfredi and implemented for other CRA office redesigns in Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C.
Created a visually-arresting staircase in the heart of the office that physically and emotionally connects the two floors and reflects light deep into the office.
Kindled collegiality and collaboration among staff by co-locating junior and senior colleagues in work neighborhoods and relocating the office’s café to staircase’s base.
