Gensler 

Location: Raleigh, North Carolina

The client's Raleigh office is a design studio in perpetual dialogue with its city. Located on the corner of a new Downtown high-rise, a dramatic double-height entry engages the street. Here, the Design Lab puts the design process on display, and creates a dynamic hub for client engagement. The simple organization pushes back-of-house functions to the rear demising walls while work and collaboration spaces are flooded with natural light from the north-and west-facing glass. A brand story rooted in Raleigh history informs the use of color and linear graphics that make the space an active participant in the urban streetscape.
