The new West Elm workplace is housed in the Empire Stores (opposite, top), a series of former warehouses along the Brooklyn waterfront. With stunning views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, a casual work area called The Bridge (above) has a soft and serene palette of blue hues that reflect the East River. A conference room (opposite, bottom) features a live-edge conference table framed by a custom West Elm light fixture. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Reception Open office area Private office Break room Atrium Mock store Furniture development Design library Workroom 3 8 9 9 5 2 2 9 9 4 9 Third Floor Plan 2 3 4 2 3 6 5 4 7 2 1 2 3 2 Second Floor Plan 68 contractdesign.com SEPTEM BER 2017http://www.contractdesign.com
