The new headquarters for Corptax, a tax software company, features modern design, clean lines, and a bright atmosphere. In the previous office, employees from different departments felt disconnected, affecting the communication and information flow between departments. The new space was designed with the intent of being warm and inviting, offering a multitude of collaborative spaces to facilitate more interdepartmental interactions. Bright accent colors and wood tones contrast with the exposed concrete, softening the industrial aesthetic and adding playful elements to elevate the design.

Each department is assigned a quadrant of the office and unassigned seating is adjacent to conference rooms and team meeting areas. Corridors between these areas are illuminated by Seem 2 Recessed luminaires, blending seamlessly into the grid ceiling, allowing the focus to remain on the bright colors and unique design features of the space.
