hub + home
BNP Media
BNP media, a family-run media enterprise, reimagined their office as “hub-and-home”. The new 5,000 square foot workspace celebrates the company’s history, product offerings, and company culture by showcasing who they are as an organization while offering flexible work styles for their team members.
vision
The new office space required the operations of the previous 30,000 square foot office to be reimagined into the 5,000 square foot space. Mail room, private offices, hoteling desks, recording studio, and servers needed to be programed into the smaller footprint. The second-floor space offered windows along two sides – proposing a challenge with natural lighting throughout the space.
detail
Design touches carry the publication theme throughout the space, such as a reception desk and light fixtures that emulate magazines lining a shelf. The finish palette includes warm tones through millwork and LVT and contrast with dark quartz counter tops and slate backsplash to create an inviting and home atmosphere. Elements of “home” can be seen in living room style set up in the work café.
secret
The program situates the individual offices, recording, server, and mail room around the exterior of the office space to allow ample space for open hoteling desks, collaboration, and work café in the center. To accommodate 14 hoteling stations, the design includes lockers adjacent to the space to allow team members to keep belongings near the work space.
