Woman-Owned Talent and Workforce Solutions Firm Opens New Doors to Employee Experience
Spector Group, a leading global architecture, interiors and master planning firm, today revealed the design for Atrium’s new headquarters. Located at 387 Park Avenue South, their new space celebrates the woman-owned company’s 24th year of continued innovation.
As a firm that focuses on strengthening the human value in work culture, Atrium wanted their offices to reflect their company’s dedication to people. Spector Group focused on creating a welcoming user experience through the careful space planning and curation of materials.
“When designing Atrium’s new space, we drew inspiration from New York’s iconic industrial lofts. By juxtaposing raw materials such as concrete floors, exposed brick and raw metal with wood floors, light textural finishes and specialty lighting, we were able to create an inviting, modern environment that is on pulse with the New York market,” said Scott Spector, AIA, a principal at Spector Group.
An exposed brick wall and watercolor wallcovering provide a sense of warmth and sophistication upon entrance to the space. Adjacent to reception is a coffee bar and lounge which opens into a large conference room. The large café and pantry is designed for collaboration and serves as a communal center for the office. A long farm table, booth seating and lounge area provide a versatile setting for informal meetings, social gatherings or an alternate work environment away from your desk.
A mix of open office and private offices are employed throughout the space. Atrium’s applicant-centric mission lended to the thoughtful placement of video resume and interview rooms ensuring availability of quiet, focused space away from the reception lounge and main work area.
“Spector Group did a remarkable job illuminating company culture and creating purposeful space to inspire collaboration and enhance the overall experience” said Rebecca Cenni, Founder and CEO of Atrium.
Spector Group excels at designing custom innovative workplaces for the future, tailored to clients’ specific needs and goals. Some of the firm’s most recent office projects include Heineken USA’s headquarters; Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s offices; VaynerMedia’s NYC headquarters; DeutschAdvertising’s new NYC headquarters; Magnitude Capital’s NYC headquarters; WeWork’s 222 Broadway space.
