Red Bull New York Office (A+ 2015)

Best known for its high-energy drink, the company wanted its New York offices to be low-key. The 16,800 SF project doesn't celebrate the company's values with eye-catching forms, nor is its layout inspired by recent theories of workplace productivity. Instead, the design is simple and without the pretense of being on the cutting edge of cool tech office design. It responds to the quick cycling of trends in workplace interiors by steering clear of large-scale gestures, playful lounge zones, or urban-inspired ad hoc décor.
