Leadership Memphis
Leadership Memphis is an organization that prides itself on building leaders through education and collaboration. They needed to find a new location and wanted to make sure that it was one that was both open and highly visible. The new facility is an existing building with two bays vacant for more than a decade. The vision for the space was two-fold; first, to house private and flexible public work spaces conducive to highly collaborative activities; second, to provide rentable space that would accommodate a variety of group functions.
The two bays function as one large space in some cases and as two separate spaces in others. This is achieved through the use of color and directed flow patterns. The Administration bay includes custom designed cubicles with over-sized openings that have functional sliders to fit the occupants' desires. The bay also contains a large worktop that serves as the center for group activities. A vibrant yellow provides both high visibility from the street and connectivity between the bays.
