The Bloc is an internationally acclaimed healthwellness creative engagement agency. Its new office,
located in Manhattan’s Financial District on the edge of the East River,
brings together over 200 employees previously split between two locations.
The space’s open concept has a casual, creative feel that reflects the agency’s own brand. With a variety
of meeting spaces and work areas, as well as standout views for all to enjoy, the design fosters efficiency and inspiration.
Among the priorities of the design: inspiring creativity, promoting collaboration
between the accounts-oriented and creative teams with ample room for a variety of meeting spaces,
and leaving the views of the river and beyond unobstructed for all to experience.
These goals were achieved by creating three distinct sections within the open office areas,
which were further distinguished by being set at various elevations: raised platforms with offices and conference rooms,
workstation areas, and perimeter meeting spaces furnished with a custom bench system designed by Foz Design.
This project was developed and completed in collaboration with The Mufson Partnership, a NELSON Company, who served as the Architect of Record.

它的新办公室位于曼哈顿金融区的东河边上,将以前分在两个地方的200多名员工聚集在一起。
该空间的开放概念具有休闲、创意的感觉,反映了该机构的自身品牌。通过各种会议空间和工作区域,
以及供所有人欣赏的突出景观,该设计促进了效率和灵感的提升。
设计的重点包括:激发创造力,通过为各种会议空间提供充足的空间来促进面向客户的团队和创意团队之间的合作,
并使河道和其他地方的景色不受阻挡,供所有人体验。这些目标是通过在开放的办公区域内创建三个不同的区域来实现的,
这些区域通过设置在不同的高度来进一步区分:带有办公室和会议室的高台,工作站区域,以及由Foz Design设计的定制长椅系统所配备的周边会议空间。
该项目是与NELSON公司旗下的Mufson Partnership合作开发并完成的,Mufson Partnership是备案建筑师。
