The office design marks a significant departure from the pre-COVID model, which was centered around rows of individual desks and a mandatory five-day in-office schedule. The new layout embraces the shift in work patterns, incorporating a variety of workspaces and social areas to support different activities, giving employees the flexibility to work, meet, collaborate, and socialize as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the highlights of the new office is a multifunctional gathering and presentation space called &#8220;The Forum.\u201d This area is equipped with integrated technology and designed to accommodate both external organizations and internal events. Equipped with built-in audio and video capabilities, including a large retractable screen and digital projector, The Forum allows for seamless hybrid events, where in-person presentations can be easily shared with remote participants. Additionally, all conference and huddle rooms are outfitted with cameras, speakers, and digital displays, allowing for smooth video calls with clients or remote team members through wireless connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_12-scaled-e1739288333955.jpeg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communal banquette seating pods along the glazed edge overlooking the city offer a visual connection to the outdoors, providing comfortable settings for lunch breaks or impromptu collaborative meetings. Former principal offices have been converted into huddle rooms, enabling teams to collaborate and connect digitally with remote colleagues and clients. Smaller focus rooms have also been created to offer private spaces for individual work, conversations, or phone calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_8-scaled-e1739288325752.jpeg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainability was a key focus in the renovation of the office.

Additionally, the merger of three different entities into the new LA office required extra time to understand the diverse needs, requirements, and standards of various user groups. Part of this process involved conducting an all-staff survey to gain insights into what employees were looking for in a workspace, how they intended to use it, and how often they planned to come into the office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71461 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_5-scaled-e1739288315425.jpeg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on these findings, the LA interiors studio led the planning and design, with periodic feedback and review from the LA office leadership and the larger Arcadis workplace group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71364 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_3-scaled-e1739215364608.jpg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Standout Details<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Forum is a dynamic space designed for both presentations and team gatherings.

Smaller focus rooms have been created to provide quiet spaces for heads-down work, phone calls, or one-on-one private conversations. For group discussions, communal banquette seating pods are strategically placed throughout the office, encouraging collaboration and interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_7-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainability was a cornerstone of the office\u2019s redesign.

The biggest obstacle was the longer-than-usual timelines for the shipment of FF&amp;E, but the procurement group effectively facilitated this process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_15-scaled-e1739288342552.jpeg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A post-occupancy survey is planned for early this year; however, initial feedback has been very positive. Despite the absence of an in-office mandate, the number of people regularly coming in has been encouraging. Additionally, there has been a pleasant surprise in the number of external groups reaching out to use the new forum space for events. This space was intended to foster internal connections as well as engagement with the external design community, making the positive response particularly exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71363 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/LA-Office_2-scaled-e1739215344343.jpg\" alt=\"arcadis office\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arcadis&#8217; general contractor, HITT, and FF&amp;E procurement partner, Tangram, both significantly contributed to the project by closely managing costs and devising creative, cost-effective solutions.
