MAJOR DETROIT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

The Challenge

Located in Detroit, Michigan, this financial institution sought a workplace that could adapt to post-pandemic work behaviors while balancing collaboration, wellness, and long-term flexibility. The challenge was to create a future-ready environment that encouraged connection and movement without sacrificing focus, while also ensuring the space could adapt to organizational growth and changing workplace strategies over time.

NEEDS

An open floor plan encourages movement and collaboration while supporting multiple work modes, including focus, teamwork, learning, and social connection. A reduced private office footprint allows for more shared spaces, complemented by expansive city views and abundant natural light to enhance comfort and productivity.

Biophilic elements, such as moss features and living green walls, are incorporated throughout social areas to promote well-being. Additional amenities—including an on-site café and multi-level rooftop terrace—provide inviting spaces for connection and recharge.

Built for long-term adaptability, the space features raised flooring systems and reconfigurable walls that allow the workplace to evolve over time. Integrated technology, room scheduling, and sound masking support seamless collaboration across open office and meeting spaces.
