Every modern office is an ecosystem of interconnected activities—some in harmony, others in conflict—all requiring designated spaces for those functions. For 25 years Primo Orpilla and Studio O+A have designed work environments that promote the health and vigor of that ecosystem. Recognizing that a café can be as important to getting the job done as a conference room and that people working in an open plan still need places to be alone, Orpilla will disucss how O+A has developed a vocabulary of space types equally adaptable to start-ups occupying their first real office and to corporate giants hitting the refresh button.
