Designing for Collaboration in a Modern Accounting Office

Project Spotlight: The Accounting Office

For project, our team was tasked with outfitting a large-scale corporate office featuring a mix of open and enclosed environments. The layout included multiple bullpen zones, conference rooms, break areas, huddle rooms, and private executive offices — all of which needed to feel cohesive while serving different functions.

This kind of diversity in space usage poses a challenge — but also presents a huge opportunity to create synergy between collaboration and focus.

Key Challenges

• Creating a visual and functional flow between open workstations and private offices

• Ensuring acoustical comfort in bullpens and meeting rooms

• Providing scalable furniture solutions for fast-growing teams

• Designing break rooms and classrooms that foster learning and community

Our Approach

To meet these goals, we developed tailored furniture solutions for each zone:

• Bullpens were fitted with height-adjustable benching stations and acoustic dividers to reduce noise without compromising openness

• Conference and huddle rooms received ergonomic seating and wall-mounted whiteboards to support dynamic collaboration

• Break rooms included soft seating and modern lounge-style furniture to create a relaxed, recharging atmosphere

• Manager and private offices featured modular desks with ample storage, providing a professional yet adaptable workspace

Takeaway: Balance Matters

One of the biggest lessons from the build-out? You don’t have to choose between open collaboration and focused productivity — with the right design, you can absolutely have both.

By pairing functional furniture layouts with sound management and ergonomic design, we helped the Doeren team maximize square footage, boost employee comfort, and create a space that evolves with their needs.
