American Society of Interior Designers – Headquarters

The new American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) headquarters is intended to be a living laboratory where collaboration, flexibility, sustainability, and occupant wellbeing are primary design drivers. The office can accommodate up to 40 employees allowing them to experience a high-performing, healthy, and flexible work space in order for their experiences and research to serve as a model for the industry.

With the aid of specialized wearable devices, a range of employee experiences were documented pre- and post-occupancy to provide research information to the design community. Employees have no assigned seats, but rather select from a variety of workplace environments based on what best supports their specific tasks. Spaces range from highly collaborative teaming environments to more private heads-down focused environments.
