INVESTCORP New York, NY

The idea behind Investcorp’s corporate office design was flexibility for a changing work environment and staff expectation. The flexible office system that allowed demountable partitions to be arranged as open or enclosed offices of varying sizes required flexible lighting solutions of ambient uplight and undercabinet tasklight to move with it as needed. These modular elements combined with fixed lighting fixtures such as decorative sconces on structural columns helped to visually organize the linear floor plan and signal points of transition to occupants. These points of light and visual brightness remained consistent within the layouts helping people to wayfind regardless of shifts within the office landscape.
