New York firm Studio Galeón continues its relationship with luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet with the design of the company’s administrative office in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami. The new location houses the regional office for the company’s Latin American operations, the headquarters for all North American retail, and acts a place to welcome select clients.
The designers partitioned the open space with a conference room to allow for a separation of the office’s distinct functions while also positioning the room as a natural gathering point for both formal and informal office discussions. This volume divides the space in half with glass walls forming two sides of its perimeter to allow natural light to flood in.
Upon entering the space, visitors encounter a white oak-paneled wall that forms the conference room’s south end. Its outward face is embellished with the Audemars Piguet logo and acts as a small reception and lobby area.
Two smaller private offices sit in opposite corners of the office with gently curved glass walls that encourage more fluid circulation in between their perimeter and the sharp corners of the conference room. The radius of the curved glass walls in each private office is replicated throughout the space.
