The new space for recently acquired Brightly Software encompasses a full floor. The design was tailored to accommodate The Siemens office’s “New Normal Concepts,” which center on areas for focus, collaboration, and retreat. LS3P created a survey and received significant input that allowed us to adjust the core goals in unique ways, especially for Brightly’s culture. Siemens had a limited budget and wanted to maintain as much infrastructure as possible. With limited walls built, the focus was on the quality of spaces. Each business group has its neighborhood with refreshment centers for ease of use and a sense of home. Collaboration spaces were for the teams, but providing heads-down acoustical private areas was also critical. Siemens has ambitious net zero targets and appreciates the benefits of biophilia and art, so there are planting and art locations throughout the design that bring outside elements in for all to enjoy.
