Understanding what drives the need for change
When a leading technology company decided to establish their new San Diego headquarters, they faced the exciting challenge of creating a workspace that would truly reflect their innovative spirit while honoring the vibrant culture of their new home. The 50,000 square foot space needed to serve multiple functions seamlessly, from fostering collaboration among diverse teams to providing focused work environments and specialized training areas. The client envisioned more than just another corporate office—they wanted a space that would celebrate San Diego's unique character while supporting their company's mission and values.
The project required careful coordination across multiple specialized environments, including open workspaces, private offices, conference rooms, training facilities, and essential amenity spaces like a dedicated mother's room. Each area needed to feel purposeful and connected, creating a cohesive experience that would help employees feel both productive and proud of their workplace. The challenge was to weave together functionality with local inspiration, creating meeting environments that would be truly immersive and memorable for both employees and visitors.
How we brought the vision to life
Tangram partnered closely with multiple project teams to develop a comprehensive design solution that addressed every aspect of the workspace experience. Our approach centered on creating authentic connections to San Diego's distinctive regional character, ensuring that each meeting room and collaboration space told a story about the local culture while serving its functional purpose. We took responsibility for all furniture, accessories, and lighting elements throughout the facility, allowing us to create a unified design language that flowed seamlessly from open work areas to private conference rooms.
The design process involved deep collaboration with stakeholders to understand how each space would be used and what kind of atmosphere would best support their work. For the immersive meeting environments, we researched and incorporated elements that genuinely reflected San Diego's landscape, culture, and spirit. Every furniture selection and lighting choice was made with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, ensuring that the beautiful spaces would also enhance productivity and comfort for daily users.
