Dyer Brown designs forest-inspired, high-tech office spaces for Infinity Pharmaceuticals\u2019 headquarters in Cambridge, Mass.<\/span>

For Infinity Pharmaceuticals<\/a>\u2019 headquarters in Cambridge, Mass., Dyer Brown\u00a0<\/a>designed open-plan\u00a0offices using aesthetically integrated,\u00a0cutting-edge tech controlling\u00a0light, sound, microclimate,\u00a0and user enjoyment.<\/p>\n

For the new\u00a0929-m2<\/sup> (10,000-sf)\u00a0administrative head\u00a0office, the design goal was to support the company\u2019s active, nature-loving employees who wanted to bring their everyday passions into their workplace.<\/p>\n

Dyer Brown\u2019s design team\u00a0addressed a range of complex\u00a0challenges, including ensuring\u00a0everyone has\u00a0access to quiet\u00a0zones, activity\u00a0areas,\u00a0and nature-inspired spaces across one triangular-shaped floor of a 1970s, Brutalist-style building. Acoustic ceiling panels and white noise systems were aesthetically integrated into the biophilic design to minimize distraction and\u00a0create a tightly controlled environment that supports a range of work style preferences.<\/p>\n

Natural materials and motifs are used liberally throughout the open-plan office zones, which\u00a0house a variety of tech-enabled work and conference spaces\u00a0with\u00a0varying degrees of privacy. Plush,\u00a0noise-diffusing chairs, soft light-emitting diode (LED) task lighting, and smart scheduling technology ensure easy and comfortable daily experience for employees and visitors.<\/p>\n

By varying the ceiling heights throughout, Dyer Brown\u2019s designers evoke\u00a0the rhythmic effect of moving beneath a tree canopy\u2014a concept reinforced underfoot by\u00a0warm\u00a0wood flooring and a\u00a0\u201cpath-in-the-woods\u201d\u00a0carpet motif. A palette of subtle greens and blues\u00a0evoking\u00a0Infinity Pharmaceuticals\u2019\u00a0brand colors\u00a0helps\u00a0define\u00a0the spaces, complemented by natural wood paneling and a full-height living green wall in the lobby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
