Montalba Architects<\/a> has designed the newly expanded 2044-m2<\/sup> (22,000-sf) office for mindfulness app creator Headspace<\/a>, in Santa Monica, California.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this project, we were challenged with finding unique ways to bring Headspace\u2019s new office to life by seamlessly juxtaposing group and individual spaces,\u201d said David Montalba, founding principal. \u201cTo honor the core values of the company, we created small spaces where employees could find a moment of personal solace that would not deter from the surrounding communal environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The primary design gesture, in addition to seamlessly creating a modern workplace for employees within the industrial vernacular of the site, was to turn former parking spaces into a large and expansive outdoor courtyard, which flows through the workspace into the central, open-air courtyard on the second floor. The open-air enclosure filters light and greenery into previously dark, isolated spaces.<\/p>\n

Montalba Architects\u2019 design responds to both the necessary requirements of an office space, as well as Headspace\u2019s cultural needs: flexible workstations, a group meditation area, open outdoor areas, lounge spaces, private phone booths, collaborative meeting rooms, and large kitchens.<\/p>\n

The entry stair functions as a workspace that transitions into large stadium seating for company-wide events. A media screen rolls down in front of the bi-fold door, while a large suspended curtain encases the screen to control light and sound. Free-standing meditation pods are available throughout the space to provide employees additional moments of solitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
