Virginia Humanities

This new office and broadcasting studio helps all Virginians tell their stories.

Working through an iterative process, the design team led stakeholder and community sessions to ensure the goals and intentions were sensitive, thoughtful and in alignment with the non-profit’s strategic plan. The interior was crafted to accomplish three main drivers; create a sense of place, a warm welcoming feel, as well as a balance of personal, team and community space.

APPROACH

Team connection is accomplished through the community gathering space at the heart of the layout. Furnished with a flexible mixture of Virginia crafted furniture, the Lemon Lounge offers after hours event space, ample artifact display and a place to meet over coffee. Finding balance between public and private zones was critical when bringing their workforce under one roof for the first time.

By removing the typical meeting space from the individual offices, precious square footage was given back to the amenity space.
