solidated it into a streamlined, attractive, non-hierarchical set of flexible offices on the 15th floor. The result is a more efficient, open-plan for 37 employees. “Symrise required a space that would align more with its dynamic corporate culture and bring together various departments formerly located on separate floors,” said Ste- ven Anderson , MADGI’s principal. “To address this need, we created a large open space with only seven private offices – five for perfumers and two for executives. Clear
glass walls visually integrate private offices into the overall space, while low partitions of the 30 workstations within the open-plan section encourage collaboration and accelerate decision making.” Symrise has reduced its real estate cost, as the new office is half the size of the previous one. JRM Construction Man- agement served as construc- tion manager for the project. The M/E/P engineer was 2LS Consulting Engineers, and Severud Associates was the structural engineer. The new studio houses the central social space combined with a reception area, multiple conference andmeeting rooms, an open office section, seven private offices, a fragrance laboratory, a pantry, a privacy phone room, an IT room, and an elevator lobby. “The main design challenge was to help the client transi- tion from a traditional cor- porate environment to an open collaborative plan, cre- ate maximum comfort, and find elements that will make it attractive. Another was separating the laboratory space from the administrative area, so that scents from one area do not impact the other,” said MADGI project manager and designer Elizabeth Za- garello . “It was achieved by separating the lab, located on the west side of the floor, from the administrative areas on the east and south of the build- ing core.” This configuration helps isolate the lab to prevent scents from getting out (or in, from the cafeteria area on the other side of the floor). In ad- dition, a split HVAC system creates positive air pressure inside the lab space and other negative zones within the of- fice that prevent pollutants, such as cafeteria smells, from traveling into the lab. The glass fronts in the pri- vate offices and at the entrance to the reception area feature a black Gemino integrated GX system hardware and frames, also by EuroOffice. A double- glazed system with higher acoustical properties was used in the permanent conference room. Due to the high density of the workstations being in an open area, adequate sound insulation was vital. It was achieved by the installation of Pyrok Star Silent finish on the slab of the ceiling. n

MADGI took Symrise’s ex- isting underutilized and out- dated space spread through two floors of 505 Park and con-
