Planning and designing OFS Brand's new marketing and sales support office space
This was a 3 month long project where I studied the needs of the users of OFS Brand's marketing and sales teams in order to create a space that encouraged a dynamic and energetic workforce.
The Problem
OFS Brands prides itself on being a strong and dynamic company with a collaborative and energetic team. They needed a new and improved space that would encourage teamwork and creativity while supporting flexibility.
Initial Explorations + Research
I studied the several different needs of the OFS Brands workforce in order to create the most effective solution. I learned that the new workplace would require public and private spaces to accommodate both collaborative and quiet work.

Concept
Emerge
The most important, and usually the strongest, part of a system is often found at its core. This core announces itself in such a way that it demands attention by being a vital basis of a complex structure. Every aspect of this structure emerges from its source while also creating individual facets as it progresses.

Programming
The space houses several different teams and must provide separate spaces for each while also encouraging collaboration across groups.

Design Development
The concept of emerging drove the design of the space by producing a central hub that secondary spaces emanated from. This idea was successful in creating both public spaces (central hubs) and private spaces (branched out work areas).
