A corporate identity program for the globally-based industrial design, graphics, engineering, and digital media firm frogdesign. A unique architecture is achieved through the extensive use of recycled paper panels, sisal carpets, formaldehyde-free particleboards, and recycled glass floor tiles. The entire project is configured for maximum flexibility, with future-proofed corporate intranet cabling. All project components are designed-for-disassembly and future recycling, with minimum use of composite materials and adhesives. Progressive corporate culture features such as onsite bicycle storage and daycare facilities, campus style open studios are integrated.
