OTJ Architects has designed the new offices of public affairs consultant The Raben Group, located in Washington D.C.

OTJ designed The Raben Group’s first space 10 years ago, with expansions done to accommodate the company’s growth. The original 3,500 SF space inspired the company’s rebranding through the architectural design. This most recent design reverses the sequence to create architecture inspired by brand. At the onset of the project, the CEO aimed to maximize square footage for his employees, with the challenging idea of creating verticality throughout the space. The designers started by determining how to filter different work areas among neighborhoods, with the solution being the “utility ribbon.” The logo is essentially repeated and flipped to create the utility ribbon featuring elevated team rooms and phone rooms connecting staff to spaces that allow for small group discussions or individual privacy.

DEGW has designed the new offices of professional services firm EY, located in Milan, Italy.

The new headquarters of EY, located right in the heart of old Milan city centre, has opened its doors as a totally green, renovated organism featuring revolutionised spaces, cutting-edge technology and an innovative vision of work.

The project, by DEGW, Lombardini22 brand, has done so by redeveloping an entire block, “welding together” totally different structures built at different periods in time that seemed to be unsuitable for either the latest work methods or an innovative company like EY. The real challenge the project faced was to incorporate all the most highly developed modern-day work processes within the constraints imposed by history, turning every restriction into a fresh opportunity to enhance the space itself.
