Architecture, interior design, planning and virtual design and construction firm SGA announced the opening of its 20,000-square-foot headquarters in Boston. Designed for and by SGA’s creative team and leaning on 30-plus years of experience, the workspace reflects the firm’s workplace design expertise and its culture of creativity, sustainability, collaboration and transparency.
“Our new Boston headquarters represents the culmination of decades of learning and experience, embodying our core values and supporting our culture of innovation and design excellence,” said Gable Clarke, LEED AP, NCIDQ, president of interior design and partner at SGA. “By engaging our entire team in the process, from project managers and architects to operational staff, we were able to craft an environment that empowers every individual, supports a variety of workstyles and exemplifies our commitment to sustainability and collaboration. It embodies our approach honed for the world’s most discerning tenants and leading organizations.”
SGA’s Boston office was developed through a deeply inclusive series of engagement exercises including a mix of analog processes, surveys, focus groups, and envisioning sessions.
Featuring a blend of assigned and unassigned seating, the design foregoes a 1:1 ratio of people to desks, providing a larger percentage of space as “second” and “third” work zones including project rooms and focus rooms, amenity spaces and meeting areas to support a variety of tasks, patterns and neurodiversity.
A blend of natural light and modern fixtures that provide optimal illumination while contributing to the overall aesthetic. Greenery and natural surfaces throughout the space bring a touch of nature indoors, further contributing to the well-being and productivity of employees and aligning with wellness and biophilic design principles.
Consistent with SGA’s longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship, the office incorporates sustainable materials and furnishings, underscoring the firm’s dedication to creating captivating and productive spaces that are built to inspire and endure for decades and beyond.
