International management consulting firm Towers Perrin contracted Perkins & Will to design its new 100,000-sq-ft office space in New York City. The designers used a universal office design concept while providing hoteling offices for non-resident consultants and visiting executives. Private offices and workstations were standardized into 10-by-12 ft and 7-by-8 ft, respectively. The boardroom was also designed to be converted into two smaller rooms.

Article Abstract:
The BSHA Interiors Group has designed the management office of the San Diego Design Center. This project posed the challenge of turning a 2,800-square-foot box-like area into an office suited to many different functions. The designer incorporated the geometric shapes of the building's original architect and used materials innovatively to maximize the amount of natural light. Office workstations were designed to provide a sense of privacy.
