An orange 3D graphic that reads "ALL IN." is positioned at the center of the room in front of a cozy seating area. Two grey couches face each other while a wooden coffee table sits between them. A live greenwall stands tall near a window.

Curated cross connections.

To celebrate the 1923 brick building’s natural, industrial character Blitz designed a comfortable work/meet environment that is elevated and approachable. Timber ceilings and exposed brick walls are complemented by a lush finish palette and lots of greenery, tying together a selection of reused furniture, new pieces and a delightful San Francisco-centric art collection.

A key strategy was to create openness and flow while balancing this Venture Capital firm’s privacy and security. The east side is hospitality forward, welcoming staff as well as visitors. A large open area including a well appointed kitchen can be arranged to host a variety of events including all-hands meetings, education and training seminars, and of course celebrations - large and small. Additional workstations, conference rooms, phone rooms and a large formal board room gives scalable options for nearly any kind of activity. Adjustable fabric screens add separation and privacy when needed.

The main seating area reveals two couches and a chair positioned around an ottoman. White trim frames the entrance to a phone room. A biophilic wall is nestled into a corner near an adjustable fabric screen that offers separation and privacy.
A TV screen is mounted on an exposed brick wall above a black credenza. A wooden conference room table with black legs is positioned under long, thin light fixtures that shine brightly onto the patterned carpet below.
A micro kitchen with an exposed brick wall is revealed. A row of brown chairs is arranged in front of the high-top table adjacent to the pantry. Cylindrical light fixtures hang from the ceiling, illuminating the space.
A painting of the Golden Gate Bridge hangs on the wall behind two grey chairs. A luxurious table stands in front of them, with books and a vase atop its marble surface. Two more chairs sit in front of the table near a door with an orange frame.
Three framed portraits decorate the exposed brick wall near a set of workstations. Plants occupy the empty spaces around wooden desks. Natural light pours in from an operable window.
A 3D sign that reads "All IN." emerges from the white wall above the stairs.

On the west side an open office area with traditional workstations is set-up for team members who prefer the quiet. Flooded with natural light from the operable windows, the space is easily reconfigured for changing density as required.

A scooter and a bicycle are propped up by their kickstands near a window. Behind them is a biophilic wall full of fresh greenery and colorful plants. Light fixtures in the shape of lines cast a brilliant glow upon the seating areas beneath them.
