Designed to accommodate up to 700 staffers, this tenant improvement project took an old John Deere tractor factory with a large, open floor space, concrete mushroom columns and a large central atrium to life as a center for collaborative work and a communal feel. The atrium was extended to the ground floor and features many social areas- spacious lounges and an open dining hall that doubles as an all-hands meeting space. Incorporating the DIY favorite, plywood in ingenious ways, such as the ceiling treatment of slats in a diamond grid form to create a new version of a coffered ceiling. Painted and stained plywood and gypsum board, polished concrete floors and varying shades of gray carpet create a simple and clean aesthetic, serving as the perfect backdrop for a plain canvas that its occupants can customize over time.
