FORM Architects is a full-service architecture and design firm that specializes in delivering the future of workplace interiors. Headquartered in Sweden, it was important that Saab's presence in Washington, DC feel authentic to its international origins while embracing their American client base. Identifying the appropriate balance required input from Saab's Swedish and American teams.
Ultimately, differing viewpoints united with a combined desire for Saab's office, despite the location, to be a visual representation of their core values. As an established company, existing brand standards provided a strong design foundation while finishes provided ample opportunity to create a space that would feel familiar to international and local guests alike.
Blending cultural design sensibilities and integrating workplace standards translated into a straightforward space punctuated by powerful design statements that are genuine and without pretense. We view offices as blank design canvases. They are opportunities to visually explore your company's brand and tell your unique story.

It was an exciting design challenge to find a way to showcase the Cyber Fusion Center's many facets and capabilities. Drawing inspiration from different workshop environments, we wanted to create various vignettes throughout the space to provide a glimpse into the teams' daily work. Working with a client as fun and energetic as Splunk is infectious.
We believe that relationships should be as open and free as the workplace environments we design. By putting people first, we promise to understand and address each client's unique needs, delivering quality work rooted in quality people. Unlike most firms, we are not segmented into studios because we believe, much like people, designs can learn from one another.
This client desired a design focused on their brand and culture that would allow them to leverage their new office as a recruitment tool. Using these descriptive words, elements extracted from the client's sub-brands, a list of the company's business goals, and information gleaned from the client's existing office and brand standards, designers created the concept of 'A Continuum - Where Tech, Live, and Culture Collide.'
Hanley Wood's office space celebrates architecture and construction. Raw and refined, the space showcases a unique character and quality of materials used congruently through different applications. These subtle similarities found in mimicking patterns, colors, and textures creates cohesion and a sense of comfort.
