Two-Level Office Design for a Growing Logistics Operation

Project Spotlight: A Two-Story Workspace with Flow

When our client asked us to help design their two-level office space, we knew we had an opportunity to create something dynamic. Split between a ground-level work zone and an upper-level private wing, the challenge was making it all feel cohesive — without interrupting function or flow.

Layout Breakdown

Downstairs:

• A mix of three open workstation zones for active collaboration

• A central leisure area for recharging or informal chats

• Conference room, breakroom, and front desk for high-traffic utility

Upstairs:

• A quieter wing featuring multiple private offices and an additional conference room

• Designed for leadership, sensitive conversations, and heads-down productivity

• An open office space upstairs adds flexibility without sacrificing quiet

Design Insight: Use Architecture to Define Energy Zones

One of the biggest takeaways from the project was the power of physical separation to define workflow. By utilizing the natural division of two floors, we were able to:

• Promote collaboration and energy on the main floor

• Preserve privacy and focus upstairs

• Use furniture, layout, and flow to support the unique pace of each space

The addition of a leisure area also reflects the shift toward more human-centric offices — where productivity is balanced by comfort and community.
