Microsoft

Working on the first all-open-desk office for Microsoft in collaboration with Sevil Peach. This resulted in a warm, inspiring, professional workspace that was globally regarded as a game-changer.

Microsoft wanted their head office to be the first fully, truly open and flexible office where everybody works on open desks – even HR and the entire management. It represented the new way of working in optima-forma.

To bring human scale to this large organisation, we grouped many different kinds of workspaces intuitively throughout the floors.

Ranging from single person concentration rooms to family tables through to height adjustable work booths. On one floor we created a large meeting area for staff and guests. This has become the buzzing heart of the organisation; promoting communication, creativity and social interaction.
