This transformed high tech loft workspace in West Loop seamlessly blends work and play, featuring strategic lighting, smart technology, and unique NFT art pieces.
This high tech West Loop loft workspace was transformed from an underutilized, lower level space into an annex to existing office which provided more space as well as amenities. Strategic placement of lighting elements throughout the space effectively brightened even the most shadowy corners, breaking up the spaces to give each area a unique feel within the richly hued interiors. The multipurpose conference room seamlessly transitions between professional meetings and recreational activities, offering a versatile environment.
The kitchen area, with its sleek surfaces, luxe stone, and modern appliances, doubles as a social hub where employees can unwind and connect.
Incorporating the latest technology, the workspace is equipped with smart systems that allow for seamless connectivity and efficient workflow management for this trading company. F1 simulators were also incorporated into the layout so employees can test their skills on the track.
The office showcases unique NFT art pieces that are part of the trading firms portfolio, reflecting the company's market strategy. Drawing inspiration from the companies ethos created an engaging atmosphere that embodies the company's identity.
"It's not every day that you get to work on space that focuses on a balance of work and play, and it was fun incorporating these joyful elements into the design."
