Cosentini collaborated with MKDA Stamford to realize its vision for a flexible employee-centered workplace and Living Lab that optimizes team performance and showcases new advances in the firm’s sustainability, technology, and lighting practices. The design intention centered around flexible environments that provide universal access and comfort, opportunities to collaborate and socialize, and room for future growth.

Two rectangles formed of Seem 2 linear luminaires are suspended over the communal stair, the “spine” that connects both floors and encourages workplace connections, exemplifying how technical prowess can facilitate creative design. Painted to match the ceiling color, black ID+ 4.5" Cylinders with a non-glowing reveal support ambient lighting in corridors and open common areas with a subtle presence.
