Tangram's Innovative Workspace Solutions Transforms Core Digital Media's Playa Vista Office into a Dynamic Hub of Collaboration and Creativity
Understanding what drives the need for change
Core Digital Media had built their reputation helping millions of consumers save thousands on recurring expenses, but their own workspace wasn't serving their growing team's needs. Their existing office was dominated by oversized, fixed-height workstations that consumed precious square footage and left little room for the collaborative energy that drives innovation in fintech.
As the company prepared to move into a new 30,000 square foot headquarters in Playa Vista, leadership envisioned something different. They wanted a workspace that reflected their dynamic culture—one where teams could easily shift between focused work and spontaneous collaboration. The dream included height-adjustable desks that would support their team's wellness and a vibrant social hub that would become the heart of their office community.
How we brought the vision to life
Tangram's design partnership began with understanding how Core Digital Media's teams actually worked. We discovered that their previous large workstations created silos, preventing the cross-pollination of ideas essential to their business model. Our solution centered on compact 6-foot AMQ Activ-PRO desks with height-adjustability, immediately freeing up substantial floor space while supporting employee wellness.
The real transformation happened in how we reimagined the newly available space. We created a constellation of lounge zones throughout the office, each designed for different types of interaction—from quick brainstorming sessions to informal mentoring conversations. Rich-toned furniture in varied textures brought warmth and playfulness to these areas, while maintaining the clean, professional aesthetic in private offices through Steelcase Elective Elements. The result was a workspace that could adapt to Core Digital Media's evolving needs while fostering the collaborative spirit that drives their mission.
