Squarespace

New York, NY
98,000 Sq/Ft

For Squarespace, A+I committed to designing and building something that would translate the brand values into a functional and elegant workplace representing the simplicity and sophistication of the company’s product.

We conducted a 3-month workplace strategy examination that discovered Squarespace’s need for a design that allows employees to effortlessly pivot between individual work and collaboration.

Employees wanted the feel of an “off-site” minus the inconvenience of finding a place outside the office. As a result, the design expands to accommodate areas that resemble hospitality and residential environments.

Located in New York’s Hudson Square neighborhood, the building was built to house Manhattan book, periodical, and newspaper publishers. Today, the building continues to house cutting edge media and digital publishers like Squarespace.
