Client:  Visto Corporation

Additional Information:

Corporate offices for a leading global provider of wireless push data application developer. Their goals for the projects were to provide a functional, efficient layout that would help their firm expand their operations in an attractive and efficient facility. High level of interactivity between staff members and a facility which supports communication were priorities as well. Retaining as much of the existing improvements as possible while accomplishing all of their other goals was highly desirable to keep costs down and avoid needless environmental impacts.

Our client leased the top two floors of a four-story office building located in Redwood City, CA. The scope of the design work consisted of remodeling portions of the existing interior improvements to accommodate the client’s particular requirements. Each floor is roughly 25,300SF each for a total project size of approximately 50,600 SF. The client’s program included roughly 185 systems furniture workstations (cubicles), Private Offices, a large fully equipped board room, application development labs, an 850 SF server room, an interface usability lab, conference rooms, break areas, storage rooms, and other typical office support spaces.

We chose a clean open look coupled with low partition systems furniture and strategic use of clear and diffuse glazing to create a memorable and bright interior office interior. The finishes utilized natural and “green” materials to lessen environmental impacts, while imparting a fresh and stimulating working environment.

An existing interconnecting stair was extensively remodeled to make it the hub of communication between the two floors and formal and informal meeting areas were strategically located at the upper and lower termini to support impromptu meetings and collaboration. Glass walls and open space surround the stair to provide an open and airy feeling to the office and long unobstructed sight lines between the two levels
