CIEE's new office at 308 Congress Street was Balance's Architect's first office design since the start of the pandemic and challenged our to team to come up with a design that was responsive to a shifting work culture where a physical office space is one many places for employees to work.  To that end there are no private offices, but rather a mix of small huddle rooms and larger conference rooms.  All desks are hotel seating style, and there two lounge areas with soft seating separated by a felt divider.  The freight elevator for the entire floor opens into the space, which we turned into a design opportunity, creating a nook for taking calls and informal meetings, that happens to have 180 degree views of the Boston skyline and harbor.
