Chenega

For this project in Concord, MA, the Fusion team worked alongside CBRE and Chenega Applied Solutions to deliver a fresh, modern office design for this specific end-user. The goal of the project was to provide an open, welcoming reception and café area, bookended by productive and efficient workspaces. The challenge was to meet a specific headcount via workstations while simultaneously providing pockets of collaboration and breakout space throughout.

The expansive café and presentation space include flexible touchdown areas, breakout booths and specialty lounge seating locations, including raised platforms with glass partitions for use as writable surfaces. The café is at the heart of the floor plate, tying the two open office wings together and bringing all users to one hub to meet, eat, or relax away from their desks. The café doubles as an all-hands meeting area and is outfitted with necessary presentation equipment for large groups, including speakers, video conferencing and screen share capabilities.

The glass fronts, wall graphics, and finishes create a cohesive design intent: to connect two seemingly-separated spaces by drawing them together in the center. The wood flooring stretches outward from this central café, widening at the two sides to form creative huddle areas at each. These pockets not only break up the clusters and rows of workstations but also function as productive work lounges for groups or individual focused work.

The most compelling and outstanding facet of this project is the presence of choice – end users of any type have multiple diverse areas to work quietly, meet with each other or simply take a break.
