The principals of M & C Saatchi’s New York office wanted a space designed to reflect their status as a high energy, cutting edge advertising company. They chose a dynamic loft space with 11 skylights, exposed ceilings and a roof with varying pitches. The design for the space unfolds episodically, beginning in the lobby and moving through open-plan offices interspersed with informal sitting areas, a living room with soft chairs, a cafe/bistro style pantry, and conference rooms. All of the spaces are wired for telecommunications and computers. Featuring wood trusses, cast-iron columns and low walls of translucent fiberglass to define the various spaces, the design is at once timeless, polished and clean.
