The revolutionary real estate brokerage firm Compass wants its clients to find their ideal home – and feel at home within the company’s offices. Vocon, one of the country’s largest design firms and one of the top 40 design firms internationally, was tasked with creating a new design approach for Compass’s locations, so each space feels unique to its region and locale, not like a common office prototype.
In 2017, Vocon completed the redesign of the more than 13,000 square foot San Francisco office.
This strategic, comfortable workplace:
- Reflects the specific elements of its location in the Fisherman’s Wharf area, preserving the original brick masonry, warehouse windows, concrete floors and black metal accents
- Incorporates the Compass brand and aesthetic through a neutral, monochromatic color palette that accents the architectural elements
- Showcases the Compass logo through a large-scale suspended ceiling installation
- Includes a mix of spaces, including both informal lounges and formal private meeting spaces, ensuring employees never lack somewhere to engage and collaborate
- Mixes materials for a layered, textured effect in the space
