Ware Malcomb 打造 ZS Associates 旧金山办公室 | 几何形状与色彩的完美融合

Ware Malcomb was tasked with completing the ZS Associates offices located in San Francisco, California.

ZS Associates, a global professional services firm, expanded its offices into 11,682 square feet in South San Francisco. A complete interior renovation of the space included a mixture of open office seating, collaboration spaces, meeting rooms, large training room, and an open kitchen area. The firm also maintains its existing office space on the 10th floor of the building.

Abstract geometric shapes such as triangles and parallelograms were used throughout the space to denote the concept of interlinking puzzle pieces. The design also represented an abstraction of the ZS Associates logo design to tie the San Francisco office into the global firm. Bold uses of color blocks formed another component of interlocking pieces, which help to delineate the smaller neighborhoods that combine to form the greater office. Strategic placement of collaboration and interaction spaces in the center of the plan encourage employees to congregate and interact with each other.

In addition to the overall design aesthetic, ZS Associates was also focused on the acoustics of the space. To achieve optimal sound attenuation, all walls use double layers of drywall and connect directly to the structure. Additionally, other acoustical components such as Fitz Felt walls, acoustical light fixtures, and soft seating were added to help absorb sound.
